Blue Beauty Questions

Ting has been doing the same mike. I know these snakes like cool temperatures. but 82 to 83 is perfect.


MY guy when I saw him tonight had his mouth wide open staring at me. What does that mean? I've seen that in baby ratsnakes when they look defensive.


Perhaps his hides are to big? I dunno.

Yea my bp's hiss and bite when I get them all till they eat for the first time. My normal bit me twice before he settle down. It's prob b/c they were just shipped. I wouldn't be worried.
Yea i was worried about the high 77 degree ambient temp? I am trying to get it down but my leos and bps are in the same room which is norm at 75 degrees and the heat mat brings up the leos and bps ambient to 80's.

You'll find out if the hides are to big if they don't eat. But he is hiding so I'm guessing he is doing good.

I am guessing you might have a snake room with a higher ambient temp?.


I think 75 or 77 would be fine for a blue beauty's ambient. thats what The ratsnake foundation says. You may right your breeder if your worried.



As for me I keep my snakes in my cool living room. Which is Why I have to heat both sides of my Ball pythons cage...she just loves it I'm sure


Eventually when I get my boa and anaconda I'll probably have to do the same.


But my future colubrids will do fine in it.


Ting's low is 70. He's been hanging there all day.


it couldn't hurt to ask your breeder but I think 77 is fine. I am glad to know the open mouth isn't a horrible sign.

reeder is a place called Reptile Rapture. Someone on here recommended it to another member when I was searching for breeders. And from looking at the other Blue Beauties for sale he is def a higher end breeder. He does charge alittle bit more for them but a better snake is worth the money.

Reptile Rapture is the local reptile store in madison. ive seen that beauty in person, great snake and a great small scale breeder.

Will the moss mold in the humid hide? I've got one for my BRBs, and I just keep damp paper towels in it (that I change every couple of days). I haven't had mold problems, but it would be nice not to have to change it so often.


Also, she's gorgeous! BB definitely on my short list. :-)

Yea I think it might have been you who recommended them but idk. Either way he was great to deal with and the best looking BB I've seen yet.

I keep paper towels too for both my leos and my BB. I had the paper towels in the leo tank for a a week at the longest so far and no mold has grow on it. I was going to see how long it would take to grow but I don't want to push it. I would say 2 weeks at the max. Also my leo tank is only at 30% humidity at all times so with a BRB or a BB and the humidiy being in the 70's normally it may cause it to grow faster. But I am going to change mine every 1-2 feeding and spray it daily.
