Just picked her up yesterday at a show. Captive bred and real tame (for spilotes). I am in awe of this animal. Thanks for looking , Don.

Next to cobra's , whose got a better throat display than spilotes? My pissed off blue beauty comes close, especially since it's not usually a bluff.

Both Pseustes spp. and Ptyas spp. come to mind for top colubrid throat displays, though Spilotes spp. certainly have a great display as well...
Great photos,
Jeff

Some of my couperi do a pretty good version of puffing up their neck when first picked up.

Looks like it's getting pretty close to your face! He might have been sizing up your eyeball. lol
Beautiful snake.
