Yeah, that's pretty sneaky! I feel sorry for those who fall for it!

Already posted what mine is here about a dozen times but eh, what's a dozen and one more.
Vietnamese blue beauty rat snake.
Some time ago I wondered what non-venomous, adequately available snake species there are that are blue. Shortly after I came across the VBB and have been smitten ever since.

How about a blue racer? That would keep you "busy"- If you could find a c/b? Should be easy to feed- they eat all sorts of things.

I've never seen blue racers for sale anywhere, and even if I did I'd have to be wary that they aren't wild-caught because they happen to be native in my state (i.e. potential trouble with the law if I got one that wasn't captive bred). Indeed, I've never seen one in the wild either nor, ironically, the state snake itself, the closely related black racer.
Another option would be the gorgeous Puget Sound locality garter snake (Thamnophis sirtalis pickeringii). I mean, just look at this.
It has a similar problem though in that I don't know of any breeders. Have come across one guy who works with them but he's in the Netherlands, and I'd rather not deal with the expense and hassle of international shipping (if that would even be possible in the first place). Not to mention I'd like to have a second snake be big enough to take any of my BP's potential refusals down the road, which I don't think a BR and certainly no garter would be able to handle.
All in all, the VBB fits everything in my criteria perfectly. Blue, different personality/behavior from the species I already have, more of a challenge in size and temperament without going overboard and eventually gets big enough as an adult to handle garbage disposal duties if needed with an appetite to match. And not only are they not too difficult to find, but there's a renowned breeder of several beauty snake species including blues right in my general area that attends a monthly reptile show in said area.
