Any opinions of blue beauties

[Dragoon]

I am narrowing down my choices for a new pet with blue beauty being on it. I know a local breeder who is breeding them but i would like opinions on how the snakes act. I heard they can be a bit aggressive pending how well they are tamed. Aside from how they may act and the need for a large enclosure are the only difficulties i have heard about them. what are your experiences?

I really love mine. I have not owned her long so I defer to the way more experienced keepers. But mine is, at this point, a docile and mellow snake. Eats great, active, pretty much a joy. And absolutely gorgeous.

I posted pix of her on the "Look what followed me home" thread and there is advice from others on there.

some of those posts do worry me with their possible 'evil doings' later on. there is a small expo this weekend so i'll ask around

I think that from what I have gleaned that if they are docile at a young age, they will be good later. (As long as you handle them.) It seems that if they start out mean, they don't get a heck of a lot better....

Blue beauties are one of the snakes that can start out mellow but become unpredictable when they reach sexual maturity. These are not snakes that you can just reach in and grab whenever you want. They won't hesitate to let you have it if they don't want you around.

this is my pair,
Male(shedding time):

Female:


both are very quickly, nervous and try to bite me during water changing.

adult pair(250-260cm) of my friend:




calm respect mine but when in feeding frenzy they bite strong and during breeding time female tried to attack 2-3 times her partner.
