Just posting quickly to share pics of my two new Blandingi, both males. They're both in pretty good condition and only arrived last week. I'm keeping them temporarily in conticos for a week or two whilst I complete their vivs, if anything it may even help them feed. I will be exchanging one with a friend who also has 3 blandingii so we can both breed and have different blood lines, so I am looking forward to a possible captive bred female for breeding.
I love the colour of them in the flesh, they look almost like deep brown velvet, quite different to the females ( which are lighter and their patterning is more visible). They are fairly feisty and fast, so should keep me on my toes and I am thoroughly enjoying them already.
First male has not eaten yet, but it is early days.

The second male that ate last night, hence only one photo, I was reluctant to do anything but renew his water.

Its only the third time I know of them being for sale in about 2 years. But then I have stopped watching the classifieds. There are not that many of them about.

I actually have a pair of Boiga dendrophila together right now, this is the first time for breeding this species so i am anxious to see the turn out...my female is an amazing animal, shes pushing over 7ft and her girth is that of a medium rat....if anyone is interested in babies let me know
