Wow, what an absolutely beautiful snake!

Very impressive, both before and after the molt!

Also, hey, San Rafael! That's where my dad and dad's family is from. Wonderful area, I always love visiting!

How big is he?

Cindiloohoo, actually Sunbeams pretty much never bite! They're just very secretive and easily stressed, and they tend to musk a lot and their musk stinks far worst than any other snakes, from what I hear!

SilverPhoenix, San Rafael sure is beautiful, I count it a blessing to live here!

bantimna, he's about three feet.

So I was browsing a particular corn snake forum I visit..but have never posted at, hence coming to here to mention this...and someone has a gorgeous sunbeam posted on there. Now, this particular person had pics posted of their sunbeam in blue too, then it hits me...it's YOU.
CS.com is quite a fun site and I was overly excited to see someone on there that I've seen on here.

I don't own chickens or snakes

(yet), but I'm doing alot of research and hopefully will be getting a corn snake in the next year or so. Completely random, I know, I just had to mention it, just in case I ever decide to post over there and I will now follow your posts here even closer.

I love that darn snake... Thats one snake that i would own..

 

[bagendhens]

all i can say is WOW.

is he captive bred, ive never seen a sunbeam and heard there not often captive but most dont survive that are wild caught.
hes a lovely size and what stunning color, and looks fairly tame...

just stunning!

cmb19, LOL yup I'm totally on CS.com, it's a FANTASTIC forum for corn snakes! The pictures and info from serious breeders is invaluable. You'll love it! Corns are the best, especially for starting out!

bagendhens, he is undoubtedly Wild Caught, though I didn't officially ask the person I bought him from, who probably would have been bragging if he was actually captive bred. They are hard to get to breed in captivity, I'm going to just cross my fingers and pray that mine will take. It's true that it's hard for them to adapt at first, but luckily they are extremely common in Indonesia still. However, laws are getting stricter and stricter about importing animals, so this is definitely a breed of snake that I hope more herp people will get into so that we can save them in the USA in the future. He is pretty tame. These snakes pretty much never bite, even if they haven't been handled. It's just not their nature, they're timid little mud dwelling critters.
