Beauty Babble (Dial-up be Afeared)

I love that pic! :love: That was such a fun exciting day... and my, Ma-tsu *has* put on some pounds since then! She's thicker now and I dunno if that's the eggs or getting fed more often! :snake: Probably both! I wish I could take her with to the Expo in Oct to say hi to you, Judy!

Ohhh, I wish you could too! We'll just HAVE to plan a visit up to Phoenix sometime!

Wow, awesome snake, and awesome cage too! Is it handmade?
lol; my man is sitting far away from the computer, and he said "is that a rattlesnake?" :)

wow..... much longer than i thought... funny how pics don't do our snakes justice LOL

We'll come up with a good excuse for you to come up here, Judy. :D Sometime with more time to visit and pet bunnies!

It's handmade by Kasia of Custom Wood Reptile Cage Company, from whom I plan to get more cages in the future! Whatever size or stain, beautiful work, and delightfully escape proof. I did a whole commercial for her somewhere further up in the thread. ;)

Oh wait! Or do you mean the rabbit cage? Karen made that one, following these instructions more or less, lol.

Rattlesnake?? Lol, wow, VBBs look like everything! Copperheads, rattlesnakes, it's no wonder everybody think they're venomous! :P

And yeah, pictures only go so far, in person it's surreal! My blue Asian dragons. :love:

Yay! More VBB pics! They look great...=)

The local reptile store in town had a pair of Tawainese beauties (I think), more yellow and black, for sale for a long time...they actually just sold a while ago...but stilll not as pretty as VBB's. =)

Thanks! Taiwans are neat, but yeah I'm (obviously) biased toward the Blue Beauties. ;) If I were to be tempted by anybody else in the immediate taenura family, it would be a Ridleys. For a while there it was believed that Blue Beauties were an intergrade between Ridleys and Taiwans! But now they're acknowledged as their own subspecies.

Those are great pics!!!


How large of an enclosure do they need? And are they arboreal at all? Sorry for the goofy questions, but I know NOTHING about them.

:) Neil

I have a whole caresheet for them on my site! I'm all about spreading the VBB love. :D This should answer most of your questions, and if it doesn't then I need to update it!

VBBs will climb and explore, they're not technically aboreal but they're active! Any time I change anything in Ma-tsu's tank, she must inspect it! She kind of reminds me of a cat that way, lol. She's also enjoyed lounging in the tree I have for her on occassion! Neptune is only active sometimes, but he has some emotional problems I'm working on. In the future I have plans to focus on breeding this gorgeous species specifically for sweet docile dispositions like Ma-tsu's.
