Haha I can 100% relate to this with Kallari!

A VBB baby is more greenish as a baby.

Then they color transition as an adult.

Either way your animal is great looking and should make a fun pet.
Does she shake her tail when she is trying to get you to leave her alone. Is so cool to see the rattle snake impression for sure.
EDIT: I apologize. You said was a Japanese rat snake blue kind.

She hasn't rattled her tail yet. She either balls up really tight, or tries to dart towards an escape. Most of the time she's running around and looking for an angle to watch me from lol.

Haha Vbb are on my list too! Also going to be a while until I get one but for now I'm just settling on a tattoo of one haha. That hybrid sounds really cool!
I'm so looking forward to more progress pics of your new girl! How are you liking have an active colubrid? :) I'm not too familiar with japanese rat snakes at all, are they similar in care and size to russian rat snakes?

I can't wait to see your tattoo! I've considered a few snake ones myself, but seeing as I haven't even gotten my first one yet, just gonna put those plans on hold for now lol.
It's really fun! She'd always out and about, until I get to close to her tub, in which case she'll then dart for a hiding spot. From what I understand they reach similar lengths, though japanese rats aren't as heavy-bodied, and have special adaptations for eating eggs. I keep her hot spot a little warmer than I would a russian.
