Why are Coastals disliked by so many?

[ailerom]

I got my first snake, a Coastal, 10 months ago. I had the choice of an MD or Coastal and picked the Coastal because of his markings. Since then I have visited here often and found the information on this site very informative and interesting.
But I don't understand the 'prejudice' against Coastals. Is it because they are more common?

As long as you like it, and enjoy keeping it who cares.

LOL @ 'prejudice'

Saying they're disliked isn't entirely true...I've heard they're quite liked by BHP...

I hate blind snakes, A LOT they are stinky and look like worms. I still like reptiles *shrug* get over it

 

[GraftonChic]

There are a few people who don't like them for there own stupid reason , but there are more people who like so don't worry about the people who make stupid comments about them.

I bought my first one 2 weeks ago and I think he/she is a relly good looking snake.

The whole "we hate coastals" rubbish came from 1 or 2 people on this site & like a pack of robots the rest follow Don't let it get to you because half the clowns that hate them have never owned a coastal anyway:lol:

 

[chloethepython]

dont worry what other people think as long as you love your snake thats all that matters

 

[itbites]

I like them also, but i've found them to be the most aggressive of all my snakes so their not top of my list either

Don't follow the general herd. If you like them that's all that matters. I have 5 Coastals, all are beautiful creatures and i adore all of them. All of mine are named :- Brutus, Angel Belle, Guinea Belle, Son of Brutus and Antigua.

I keep various species, and Brutus is still and will always be my favourite animal. I could'nt give a rats ar.se if that doesn't comply with anyone else.

Enjoy your baby for what it is. By the way, where are the pics of it?

Simone.

I've owned four. I still think they're ugly

 

[GraftonChic]

I have 1 and looking for another.

I think its a bit of the Holden/Ford syndrome coming out.
Nothing major, just normal illogical/delusional Human behaviour.

i'm gonna tak a few of my ugly coastals to the queensland reptile expo..as for being an aggresive breed,its only a small percentage.

Thanks for all your comments guys. I'm not phased by what others like or don't like, just wondered what the reasons were and now I know. I still reckon he is a beautiful animal, he is still snappy, but I have learned to handle him with a minimum of fuss. He's not good to handle when visitors are around. I now have mature Children's python as well, he is as placid as it is possible for a snake to be.
Pictures attached were a couple of months ago, he seems to have doubled again in size since then.

Hopefully pictures are attached successfully this time.
