Mocquard's beauty snakes define yellow in beauties. That snake is not yellow. It is without a doubt a blue beauty.
Please refer to http://www.cunninghamselaphe.com/oldworld.html to compare Mocquard's, taiwanese and blues.

Great looking Taiwanese Jim! As Invictus said, they're great snakes to look at. (I'm kinda scared of our male VBB due to him CHASING me around the room after drawing blood off of my hand *LOL*).

I see RedDragon also made a freudian slip, as that snake is a blue beauty, and not a taiwanese beauty.
Orthriophis taeniurus grabowskyi, most internet documents and other literature still refers to them Elaphe taeniura ssp.

She must have typed that before she read the rest of the posts. Oh well. The coloring is WAY different from our VBBs, but the pattern is pretty much identical. Too bad they are such miserable little b*stards when they are young.

Actually Simon there is a substantial amount of yellow in the animal, take a closer look at the last pic I posted. So now I'm confused

There's no reason to be confused. Blue beauties can be a bit yellow in places, and taiwanese can be a bit greenish in places, but look at the pattern. Your snake does not have the cross over bar pattern or patterned neck, like a taiwan. By looking at pattern alone, you can see it is a blue. Especially in the patternless neck part. Look at the pics in the link I sent you, and it's very clear.
