That pic looks altered to me.

yeah, there's some photoshopping going on here... i hate that. :-X

some babies may start out similar to that coloration, but it does not last, is not a morph, and only looks like that pic after some alteration... sorry! (it would be sweet though...)

the picture came out of a book that i scanned... a book on snakes of the world. so unless the publisher altered it in some way, i dont think there was any changes... but who knows.

[cahrens]

What book was it in? I'd like to check it out. Is there 2 or 3 animals there?

The book is titled:

"Snakes of the World"

Sometimes in photography you get some unusual effects or anomalies sometimes that you don't expect and can't explain but they may still make some really nice photos. Maybe that is what this is an example of! :'(

I have a friend that has a little female with that color, Kevin Thrasher he goe's by Gene Thrasher on here. It is a possible new type of jungle and blue to boot. I am sure there is no way he'd part with her.... But they are out there...

Thank you for all your help guys. Whether or not there is a accual blue snake is beyond me. But ive given up the search. Thanks Again.

I believe Jeff has a Blue male Central American he saved from long ago in search of a mate... I believe he posted a pic long ago too...


I just sold this little male.. I bought him as a Blue Pastel and he deffinately was blue but quickly lightened up and looked pink when sold just recently.

take care - Joe

nevermind... sorry about that.. tried posting the pic 4 times but it is still too large and my photo editing program here at work STINKS.

well... i can work with that! it may have been the scanner you used that had the effect that made me think photoshop... that can happen. :-/

oh well. not that i'm unhappy about a blue pastel boa! don't get me wrong on that! ::)
