blue beauties pics *dial-up warning*

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.

this is the female

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

and this pic shows his amazing color.. can't wait to see what the babies look like

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.
