And just to prove that I have terrible timing, she shed immediately after I put her back home from taking pictures. I'd thought she was looking a bit dull and migh have been getting ready to go blue, guess I missed that part this time around!
 
lol, that just means we'll get more pictures!!
Her pattern is so colorful & complex, it's really beautiful.
 
What a beauty!
What kind of personality are they known for?

They are a bit more "alert" than a corn snake. I'm not sure how else to describe it. Ours aren't aggressive and can be a little more flighty but on the whole they are pretty calm, just very alert to their surroundings and hold themselves ready to fight or flight at any given moment. They love and need to have their lower body wrapped around something, like your hand or arm, when being handled. The male especially hangs onto you with his lower body and holds his upper body in an S, ready to strike if needed. And yet, like I said they aren't aggressive, just very alert.
