taiwan beauty

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...








thanks for looking...

Re: taiwan beauty

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.

Re: taiwan beauty

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

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

Re: taiwan beauty

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!!!!
