? about Taiwan Beauties

Posted by john on March 10, 2001 at 08:45:13:

Hi All,

I have seen a bunch of posts here about these beauty snakes and i have become intrigued. I decide to do some research on the web and in books so I can decide if this snake should be my next purchase, however I still have a few questions. People seem to be at odds on temperment. Some say they make great pets, others say the are nippy and too fast to be handled. Are they faster than corns or just as nippy as babies? This is important to us as we love to handle our snakes. Also, some reports have them growing in excess of 9 feet. One book has the official record at like 7.5 so who is right here? And if they can get that large, how big of an enclosure do I need? I know they are relatively thin, so do I still need a tank 2/3 it's body length? All help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
John
