[img]https://www1.flightrising.com/static/cms/familiar/art/51000.png[/img] this guy! this gorgeous fella! he's a brazilian rainbow boa! My favorite snek! I'm so happy to see him represented here! It was a wonderful surprise they are beautiful snakes literally, they do actually have an iridescent shine to them [img]https://www.azreptiles.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/Brazilian-Rainbow-Boa.jpg[/img] [img]https://pm1.aminoapps.com/6928/f0abcf610a9e7884beb162cb3c821a92920eac14r1-736-485v2_uhq.jpg[/img] [img]https://petoftheday.com/archive/2012/November/11b.jpg[/img] tysm to the artist who made it! you have no idea the sheer amount of joy it's giving me to see one of my favorite not-very-well-known animals be portrayed so gently and beautifully! Fun facts about Brazilian rainbow boas: [LIST] [*] they are non-venomous snakes, they are constrictors [*] do not grow that big tbh or at least not as big as you'd expect given the reputation of some constrictors (about 4-6ft) [*] they're not the best pets, they have high maintenance needs with babies needing 90%+ humidity and adults needing 70%+ BUT THEY ARE VERY PRETTY 100% great snakes to use as a reference species for something magical or fantastical in nature [*] I love them [/LIST] tho speaking of theming... makes me wonder if the theme is going to be flower+an animal attached to them which is a shame cuz I would LOVE to see snakes for all the fest familiars, there are so many pretty ones and goofy ones out there

Undel confirmed it will be flower + snake for this years theme, we're getting an all snake run.

But these are such cool pics, I did wonder if the iridescence was true to real life and it's so sick that it is. I know a lot of darker scaled snakes can have this sorta rainbow shimmer effect, but wow the way it plays with the colors here is gorgeous..... I hope the other snakes are all such cool breeds.

ohhh wow, those pictures are beautiful! the iridescence is just enchanting. what a wonderful creature.
thank you for sharing!!

I saw that too and I was also very happy! I'm hoping to get a boa constructor for one of the holidays because I think they have very cute faces. I hope you don't mind me sharing a couple other snake pics because I have a few that I was thinking of when I saw the theme was snakes. For fire I think Baird's ratsnake would be a great fit because of how its scales look like embers (also it is one of my very favorites and I love it): [img]https://b1730346.smushcdn.com/1730346/wp-content/uploads/Bairds-Rat-Snake-1.jpg[/img] The red-spotted gartersnake could be a really nice fit for lightning, although I could also see them going with a snake that is more visibly spiky. Despite the name, they do come in blue (I saw a blue one a couple of weeks ago actually).

@Sunfeathers oooh those are lovely! that rat snak is indeed a perfect fit for fire 0,0 honestly as long as we like a nice viper in there somewhere too, I'll be happy! Vipers have such cool scaley faces I also hope we get some of the goofy snakes like for real please let wind get a blunt head snake just like look at these guys!
