Also I know there are some green/blue pythons, but I am looking for a colubrid. If there are any other green colubrids that I am missing that make good pets I would also love to know about those as well as they may have blue phases. Unfortunately it seems like most blue snakes tend to be morphs of green snakes and most green snakes tend to be bad pets. I didn't see a ton of info on these regarding temperament. Vietnamese blue beauty ( Elaphe taeniura callicyanous) - These seems more gray/blue than blue, but I suppose that could just be the few pictures I have seen. However since they are racer snakes I assume they have similar temperament as the other racers though i could be totally wrong about this.Ĩ. I am not throwing any shade/hate toward them, but they arent ideal for me because of this. Mostly because the head shape distracts me from the rest of the snake. Baron Racer ( Philodryas baroni) - I dont know a lot about these. These are also smaller than I was looking for, but I wouldnt mind that if everything else was good about them.ħ. Because of that most seem to be wild caught and therefor very rare to get blue phase. Rough/Smooth green snake ( Opheodrys aestivus/Opheodrys vernalis) - I hear these do very poor in captivity. I am unaware of any pattern less blue garter snakes.Ħ. Blue stripped Garter Snake ( Thamnophis sirtalis) - These are a bit smaller than what I was looking for and are less blue and more blue stripped. Rein Rat Snake ( Gonyosoma frenatum) - I have heard that they can also not be good for handling and can be aggressive, but I couldn't find a ton of info on their temperament.ĥ. Buttermilk Racer ( Coluber constrictor anthicus) - Same as the Blue Racer I hear they are not good for handling.Ĥ. ![]() Also I understand racers are actually very "darty" quick snakes.ģ. ![]() Blue Racer ( Coluber constrictor foxii) - I have heard these guys are extremely aggressive and bite a lot and are therefor not very handle able. If anyone has any information for a breeder that is outside of AUS I would be very interested.Ģ. Australian Common Tree Snake ( Dendrelaphis punctulatus) - A blue phase CTS is actually my dream snake, but since I don't live in AUS I am pretty sure that they are impossible to get. I am in US also if that makes a difference on availability.ġ. I would like something that is handle able and not super "bitey". I have done some research, but I wanted to start reaching out on the forums to see if there is something I missed or if anyone could shed more light on the species that I have found already. Does anyone have any suggestions for a blue colubrid? The way I understand it a lot of green snakes can have a Blue Phase morph (Which I assume is basically an Axanthic green snake).
