Taiwan Beauty or Veitnamese Blue Beauty?

[LegitReptiles]

I am STUCK on getting those two..
I LOVE them both, But think Money wise..
I'm not saying I want them for money, But ya know..
I want to breed them and get my money back and then some..
I don't want 10+ babies that aren't going to be sold!!
So, Think money wise though, What's the best bet..
Hhahaa, I know all the care and such I have room and time for both, But gimme a answeer!
Show me pictures of yours!

;D

This is my Taiwanese Blue Beauty. I don't own any others or plan on breeding her but I love having her out and can't wait until she is bigger

Both are less common than most species, but also less in demand.. I'd say it's likely a tossup as far as ease of selling offspring.

That said, if I had to pick one that would sell faster, I'd pick the blue beauty. They're BLUE, and they're BIG. The size alone is an attractor to many who are interested in them. In fact that's why I like them better too

There is a reason why the beauty snakes have so few breeders, demand is low, they have a bad personality rep and people get freaked out about the possible size and cage needed to house these guy. To a new own a possible 11' snake needing a 6x2x2 cages is quite intimidating as well as most personalities of these guys are pure evil.
I personally have a pair of blues and I am so far VERY pleased with how my male is turning out. He is a year old and still getting bluer everyday.
If you are really serious I would go to Ratsnake Foundation and get to reading all the articles they have (not many on the blues but more so on the beauty snake in general).

As for choosing between the two here is an example of a true blue beauites:

I wish he was alittle more blue but I am very excited with his outcome. With the female i went a different route to see color transition from baby to adult.
