A dream made real, Mira the Vietnamese blue beauty rat snake

Oh yeah, she's gonna LOVE that! You did a beautiful job! :gj:

My young queen. :aww: Feels weird to have a snake that's more likely to be out in the open during the middle of the day after what I'm used to. :rofl:

On another note, when I had to handle her for the decor cleaning debacle (and the rest of the tub because might as well by that point), she didn't bite me. Granted I also kept her head away from my hands until she calmed down enough, but still. I'm surprised at how fast she's taming down.

You never know, some snakes stay really hyper & snappy, but if you're patient & considerate, many do calm down despite their dreadful reputations- I hope yours does too- it makes handling more pleasant for all, & I believe that when snakes aren't so stressed they stay healthier too. I've known plenty of snakes that didn't live up to their bad reputations at all, so always keep an open mind, & try to understand where the snake is coming from. ;)

Another time out with me, and I don't think she even musked and it only took her a minute to calm down once she recognized it was me. She's tamed down to the point where she's about as easy to handle as my corn, I'm in disbelief at how fast she's accepted me. All this time I was prepared to have a snake that would be moody with me at the best of times but no, she's a dear.

Except when it comes to getting her picture taken, she doesn't like that. :rofl:

Oh yes, colubrids know how to check things out- they're not snakes that hide all the time. Enjoy! Rat snakes are addicting- :D

A "happy accident" of sorts; I was initially annoyed while setting up that I didn't have any singular slabs of cork bark big enough to make "solid" platforms and had to jigsaw puzzle pieces around, but it turned out to be exactly to her liking as she can hide under them. Also going to try and figure out a sky hide for her, one that I can easily access and remove if needed. I've got some ideas on how to go about that though.
