Lol, that is a beautiful snake. She probably is just taunting you. She doesn't want you to see her real colors :). I have a theory about snakes having an advanced form of intelligence that helps them annoy their owners. :P

Very pretty snake, Chris. While I don't see this as a general trend, I've seen it. I often weigh robustness and beauty equally. I'm more inclined to keep the second-most-pretty snake if it's a big, fast-grower...
