blue beauties pics *dial-up warning*

[varanus69]

well not that long ago i got an adult pair of blue beauties from Scales Zoo/Katt and they are beautiful and large. the male is the best looking blue i have ever seen with alot of yellow. He is not exactly what you would call mellow and has now earned the name lucifer, while the female is completely free handleable.here are some pics.

and here is the male.... i was actually trying to hold my hand open so he wouldn't strangle himself, he was constricting my hand so tightly my hand went numb, but if i let go completely i would look like a pin cushion

Where can i get info/pics/caresheets on them

[varanus69]

http://www.slitheringserpents.com/projects.htm this is the only care sheet i have found for these snakes and i have looked hard for one.. i finally found one by typing in a search and reading every post on blue beauties on this site....

Makes me miss mine a little. Your male sounds like mine was, his name was Mr. Nasty LOL They don't call them Beauties for nothing, Good Luck with the breeding, Mark
P.S. the caresheet on the link was done by a site member after gathering info from other ssnakess members to compose it. : )

Killer pics there Aaron! I think you should name the male, Cuddles.

Hope she drops a crapload for you! Good luck.

Awsome looking pair! The second pic is my fav though,,,looks like the snake is a lot more comfortable with you, than you are with it. At least with it coming towards your face.....great shots!

I miss those snakes soo much!

They were produced by Stav, what a gorgeous pair. I enjoyed the years I had with them.

I find it surprising you are having issues with the male. I handled him without problems and took him out quite often for people to look at him. Maybe he's fiesty b/c he knew me, and doesn't know you, yet.

>sigh< You shouldn't have posted this, now I am going to be depressed.

Best of luck with hatching babies. Remember, keep them cool, do not incubate at temps you would for other colubrids like corns. Cooler is better!

It's not a Taiwanese... Taiwans are a completely different subspecies. :)

[varanus69]

i know they are not tiawanese beauty snakes :rolleyes: i added that strictly because as katt and others have said vietnamese blue beauty snakes are not evan from vietnam but actually from tiawan... any way i can't wait to have little demons chasing me around the reptile room :D lol

[ATBlover]

lol goo dluck with that......are you scared of getting bit?..LOL just kidding...How much do they cost..average?

[varanus69]

scared of getting bit? no i laugh in the face of getting bit ha ha ha .. ok well maybe a little , these guys are fast and the male is mean.and afterr the last time i got tagged good in the face i am not anxious to repeat that ( kept a goatee for years) to cover the scar ,and the babies run between $125-150,and an adult pair will cost either $500-600 or a trio of ball pythons ;)
