Yay, I was hoping somebody would give me the dirt on these guys! I'm pleased to hear good things, thank you Jo! I'm so silly planning SO far ahead like this, but... I just cannot help myself. The danger is in how quickly I go from "Oh, probably not..." to "Ooh, someday!" to "I need snake now!" But Vietnamese blues need a *lot* of room I know we don't have, so like the puppy we won't get without having a yard first... I can/will/must wait.

So far what I've found from scouring the net are...

Pros:
1) SO PRETTY
2) Lots of personality
3) Active night OR day, climbers, very entertaining to watch
4)Gets big, but not rabbit eating big
5) Did I mention pretty?

Cons:
1) Can't find caresheet
2) Lots of personality (can be nervous snakes)
3) Needs high humidity for shedding, which'd be tricky in a decorative tank
4) Not rabbit eating big but LONG and active, needs a big ol tank and lots of food!
5) Very active, not a lap snake

So far so good, really. The biggest con is #1, but I know where to find people who keep them to pester about temps so that'll be something. And by the time we have the space for it, we'll hopefully have moved to Oregon somewhere where it's not quite so arid, and that will help humidity issues for all our snakes. I'm glad Gomez is in a tub, because even so I have to mist him now and then. Someday! BHB is staying in my snake bookmark folder in the meantime.
