hello folks,

as stated in my previous thread i picked up this little girlie over the weekend. hasnt tried to bite at all but probobly the most skittish snake i have came across. when you touch her she literally jumps like shes getting hit with a stun gun lol. she does calm down a bit and she found a comfy spot on ny hand and i kanda just stroked her for a while and she seemed to be getting used to it so i have no doubts she will calm down eventually.

please excuse the pic quality but trying to just hold this girl is a feat in itself never mind taking pics as well lol. will get better ones when she calms but these will give you an idea...

Nice beauty, I'm sure she'll calm down for you. I like how the front half of their body looks completely different from the back half.

thanks man, yea she will be grand. the parents are lovely, well the mum is anyway. just needs to get used to being handled as it hasnt had alot of it. nothing i cant fix...hopefully lol.

I think in a few years when i no longer live in an apartment, I will get a hold of some Blue Beauties, I have always loved beauty snakes in general but something about the blues excites me

[ding ding]

thanks guys, yea the blues are stunning, i aim to get one at some point. they are not commonly available where i am but i have a mate keeping an ear to the ground for me so hopefully in the not too distant future i can add one.

A Vietnamese Blue Beauty was the first snake I ever held at a reptile show. I hope she calms down with you soon :)

your a lucky girl, i am yet to even see one in the flesh but hopefully that will change soon enough...

Great looking snake. I have one myself and I know what you mean about skittish! lol
I love how the rattle such a large chunk of their tail. Mine calms right down after a few minutes of handling though

BUG EYES!!!! :)
