    My mother got me a uromastyx when I was a young kid, too young to know how to properly take care of one but I can't remember how old I was. I think I had him/her for a few years, which now that I am older I am shocked they lasted that long. Thankfully, as I got older me and my mother realized we didn't know how to take care of Chloe, I don't know what gender they were, and we found someone who know how to care for uromastyx and gave Chloe to them. Due to this, uromastyxs have always been my favorite reptile, however I don't have one because I know I don't have the time they need to properly care for them.

    Can't argue with #1, Dumerils Boas are incredible. I was glad to see water snakes make an appearance. They are my favourite snake to catch in the wild. So sassy at first, but once they calm down, they are so cool to hang out with!

Very rewarding reptile! Love your work Adam!

    I really dig the Hog Island Boa as intermidiate level for snakes. They are very docile, do not get very big, arboreal and veracious eaters. I keep mine at around 50 to 60 percent humidity, bringing up the humidity to 70 during shed. I keep him fully arboreal. Also wanted to mention for anyone new to arboreal snakes that you can buy a basic black snake hide and the bracket for it and you turn it upside down and attach it to the top inside of the enclosure. The snakes LOVE it and its easy to slide out and clean and very inexpensive.

    I have a dumerils boa named Medusa and she's A DREAM. She's about 6 feet right now and still growing. Everything you said is spot on, super strong, social, oddly gentle but the one thing I disagree with is the feeding response. Mine struck a rat so hard she bit it in half and then ate the half she dropped. Absolutely brutal. But she's my favorite of my 6 reptiles.

    An accurate list, as always! I love my ornate uromastyx, Sherman. I work with him every day as he is a little skittish, but never gets defensive or tail whips. It took some time to get the correct heat bulb for his basking spot, but made sure it was all set before bringing him home. He does love mung beans, either dry or they can be soaked in water for fresh sprouts, which he enjoys as well.

Was a pretty cool display in a 4' tank with lights and a large transparent water dish. I think they'd rock in a really big display set up in a paladarium.

    You forgot about rainbow boas.. Brazilians because they're prettier and get a little bigger. I have water snakes they were originally wild caught and sold to some kid who tried to feed them Frozen thawed rodents and they wouldn't take it, they prefer fish. I have yet to be bitten or musked. Neither one of them has even so much as struck at me. They're probably the sweetest and most social snakes in my collection. As far as dumerils boas, mine does strike and coil his food but he also is stuck on live. He seems to prefer to hunt his food, he refuses to take it pre killed. He literally chases his food around the enclosure for a while before finally taking it down lol And people say snakes don't enjoy things lol

    The favorite on this list is the Uromastyx (I may be biased, I just got a baby a couple of weeks ago). I would also argue that beardies should be lumped in as intermediate as well with the varied diet that changes over time, the difficulty getting them to eat their greens, as well as the uvb.

Have 3 of them and honestly find it difficult to keep them healthy, stimulated and basically happy. Had one years ago before I got the 3 I have now and it made to almost full size. Then just died. Out of the blue, one day fine, the next day dead. Broke my heart and kept me from having any more for almost 10 years. The one's I have now are just babies all happily living together and by that I mean playing "King-Of-The-Hill" all day long.
