Specializing in Blue Beauty Rat Snakes & the Medusa Art of Sheree Rehema.


"On the contrary, the beauty of the Gorgons, being extremely powerful and effecting the very vitals of the soul, stunned it's beholders and made them speechless, so that, as the story has it and everyone says, they turned to stone in wonder..."

~ Lucian
from The Hall

Snakes are arguably some of the most beautiful and most misunderstood creatures on Earth.

Every culture has at least one legend about these magnificent animals. They've been associated with gods and demons both, and even respected as such themselves. They've been called protectors, healers, omens, messengers... There are more myths and art, both modern and ancient, inspired by snakes than even cats or horses.

They are at once familiar and alien, surreal and common place. Our fascination with snakes spans the entire breadth of human history, and yet they are still feared and underappreciated by so many.

Put simply... Snakes are Beautiful; one of Nature's masterpieces. Snakes are often falsely represented as monstrous, harmful, and evil. It is Blue Gorgon's aim to promote these shy, gorgeous, and beneficial animals not only as objects d'art and exotic pets, but wonders of nature to be admired and respected.

The Blue Beauty is an aptly named Asian rat snake that's extremely underrated and hard to find much information about on the web or even in books. Here at Blue Gorgon, we're focusing our breeding projects on these, my favorite snakes.

The first time I saw a picture of one I was spellbound, and had to find out more. When I encountered them in person, I quickly learned that pictures don't do them justice. I've dug up as much information as I can find and was fortunate to come upon my own adult breeding pair of these amazing Beauty Snakes.

Blue Gorgon will document everything I've found as well as my own first hand experiences with these 8ft Beauties.

If you're looking for something different and are prepared for a very long and curious exotic snake a baby Blue Beauty to raise up may be for you!

I've been long obsessed with the legend and history of Medusa and am in the process of producing a whole series of Medusa/Naga pieces each based upon a different species of snake and theme as well as other portraits of Deities, Legends, Myths, and "Monsters".

There are around 3,000 known species of snake currently -only around 300 of which are venomous, even fewer are actually deadly to humans- which come in every color of the rainbow, including the rainbow itself as many are breathtakingly iridescent. The diversity is mind boggling and a wealth of artistic inspiration.

Aside from the prints of these in our shop, I also take animal, legend, and myth oriented art commissions. If you're looking for a Medusa, Legend, Myth, Deity or Snake piece to hang up on your wall, tattoo for your arm, or a logo for your upcoming business, drop me a line and we'll see what we can work out!

Be your interests Beauty Snakes, Medusa, or Snakes in Art and Legend, getting over a fear of snakes, or reptiles in general, Blue Gorgon is intended to lend a hand!
