    quick curious questions

    I own lots of balls, a corn snake and a kingsnake but have never even seen a blood python in person. So I have just a few curious questions....

    Generaly speaking, are they priced similarly to ball pythons?

    Are the husbandry needs the same as ball pythons or totally different?

    How big do the males / females get? (length and grams)

    thanks.

    Re: quick curious questions

    Normals cost usually between $80-300 depending on how nice it is (color/pattern)

    Husbandry is very similar.. but they do need the humidity in order to shed properly. a humid hide can be very useful. They love to eat too.

    I have two that were born in 2004 (gee I think anyway.. lost my records) they're both over 5' and probably 10lbs each.

    Here's my pair as 2 year olds.. they're in a 3' long tub.

    WOW now those are beautiful bloods. I'd take either one of those, though I have to say the little guy/gal is especially intriguing..

    Yup, if you want a fire engine red normal, expect to pay some money for them.

    And btw... those are some very fine animals.
