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

Hahah!! Too funny!

Thanks for the advice and help. I too enjoy that rat snake persona. The bigger colubrids, my cribo, king and now her all act and are very similar. Very well thought out and love to explore

By the way, I was serious about the "living snake belt" thing...if you guide them around your waist, they'll loop their tail around their body to hold together as a loop.
And sometimes they'll discover that your belt-loops are great "toe-holds" (the ones that are slender enough to thread thru them- my Florida rat snakes are too big now
for that). I've had a rat snake that remembered belt loops & happily made a point of threading into them time after time. Silly sneks...

The nice thing about rat snakes is that none of this will make them refuse food or insist that it be heated to 100*... (much less "fast")
