Elsa - Vietnamese Blue Beauty Snake...!!!!!

[Bogertophis]

Thank you! How long ago did you own some?

care to share any other experiences?

this is a very refreshing comment because I was having a what did I get myself
into moment once getting home and doing some
internet searching and all the top hits were nasty animals.

You were actually a funny funny topic of convo during the show. Dave and I were at a booth selling the likeness of your username and I was like that’s the member on the forum as if grasping to remember your name and then I was like duhhh it’s written on the deli cup in front of my face

Been about 13 years since- had them for about 10. I ended up downsizing & moving a long way, so mine stayed in California with other rat snake aficionados.

Tall cages with branches are used & greatly appreciated. These are "rat" snakes but more like racers- they don't sit still much- fun to watch, but not mean, IMO.

They're only "nasty" for those who fail to grasp their essential nature- don't over-restrain them. Enthusiastic eaters too. Like most snakes, it greatly helps to get

them when young & handle them now & then. A wild-caught wouldn't be fun... But captive-bred like the ones I had, very few nips & only from hatchlings.

(I only had the gold/black version, Taiwan Beauty, not the blue Vietnamese version, but I think they're very similar?)

BTW, this is the perfect snake to convert a large piece of wood furniture for an impressive display & a happy snake with room to move
and bask.
