Forgot to add to last night's post, but the size and potential moodiness is actually part of what's drawn me to VBBRSes. While he's been an absolute darling, the total placidity of my BP has left me wanting more of a challenge in both size and temperament, and a blue beauty feels to me like a good step in both directions while also not feeling too daunting (despite their length, they're rather spindly even by colubrid standards, but still not too delicate-looking either). The size is also doubly important because I'd like another snake for refusal duties, and by my calculations a full grown blue beauty should be able to handle the small rats my BP eats, though I will most certainly be starting with a baby but that's the eventual idea.
That and it'd be nice to have a snake that doesn't mind showing itself, well, ever beyond just sticking the tip of their head out of their lair like a puppy begging for treats.
