My new Vietnamese Blue Beauty

I have kept myself from messing with her so far, its soo hard though :P I want to start handling her nooww. She got a bit defensive when I had my boyfriend snap the pics but I didn't get bit. I did get bit today by a feisty garter snake while walking the trails xD I just coldn't help but grab him for a closer look since its been a long time since I have caught one. He was not happy lol.

My plans for her adult cage are 6ft long, 2 ft deep, and 3 ft high since from what I've watched of her she likes to climb. I'm also planning on making it so it slides open on the front for easier cleaning and what not. Luckily I have a ton of free lumber provided my my best friends mom's ex boyfriend :P But I might go bigger if my dad will let me keep her cage in the living room instead of my room. Otherwise I need to keep it to where I can get it out when I move.

That should do nicely. I think they make a nice display animal, mine is out all the time during the day unless she has just eaten or is nearing a shed. She loves to climb as well.

She is out right now, sitting on her stick and on her plastic plant. She seems to like the plant that is made completely of plastic than the one that has fabric for leaves.
I'm cleaning up some more long branches for her to climb on, I just need to finish getting the bark off them. I need to do a little cutting and smoothing too but need to figure out how to clean them xD

I can't see pics! boo

And as far as nippy goes. Go in there an get her! Both my Blues are like ball pythons. I can just go in there an grab them. No hissing, no biting no nothing. They are a bit worm like but seem to chill out after about 10 minutes of trying to roam around. Yea mine isn't even a year yet and he is pushing 4.5 feet long taking down medium mice every 3-5 days. Growing like a champ!

I got her at the Omaha Reptile Breeders Expo from Star City Reptiles (Located in Lincoln). They guy's name was Bryan and was very nice :) He had a beautiful pair of adult VBB's for $200 but I don't have the room or money to jump into and adult pair :P

I do need to get more pics but she is still in the settling in period

Well I promise this is going to be one of your favorite snake.
Just last week I got woke up to a pinkie mouse crying, so I turned on the lights and found my 1 month old blue hanging from her branch with a pinkie in her mouth. :rofl:

Oh and by the way the best way to clean new branches is soak them in bleach and them bake them at a LOW temp until dry.
I just used dowels from HD and made a jungle gym for both of mine for under 20 bucks.

Free branches=win. The thing is these wont fit in my oven xD

Going over to my friends to pick up the wood today :) So I can see what I have to work with and my dad and I can draw up some plans.

She was sitting out in the open watching me clean so I snapped a few pics :)

For some reason she will look like this when she is stretched out in the open. This is the second time I have seen her laying like this.

Ok quick question. Where is a good site for a diy enclosure? I can't seem to find a good one xP
