Beauty snakes are my all time favorite. Ever since I caught a super small article on them in Reptiles back in 1996 I think. My first one was a total puppy. I could feed him out of my hand. The other two tried to eat me on a regular basis. They were never aggressive though. I guess I just smelled delicious. They are really hard to find now. I have been looking for awhile and if I am lucky, I'll find one or two adults at a show and they are not cheap, and not nice in any sense of the word. Someday if I come across a few bucks, I want to get into them again. They are just about perfect in every way, even at 8 feet long lol.
