i saw a photo of a snake on a web site that was neon blue with pink under its chin and a pink tail. it looked about 5 feet long and it may be venomous. anyone heard of anything like this?

Could it have been Maticora bivirgata?

If so, then then it is a highly venomous species of SE Asian krait. The one in the picture looks kind of dark. Many are brighter blue in body color.

the pic of the on i saw was a solid neon dark blue like a lighter indigo, but the head and tail was pink like panther pink. could this snake look like that when it gets older?

I would be more inclined to question the quality of the photograph. We just got thru a couple of weeks ago IDing this snake for someone else.
