    Blood python color change question
    Hey guys, just wasnted to ask a few questions.

    First off, can you guys tell me what kind of blood it is, i'm still learning the subtleties of each, so i'm not 100 percent.

    *I'll post a pic at the bottom, but only twe seeing as I have a few more pics that include these in another thread I recently made about my blood python*

    Secondly, is she going to change colors? As in, are the browns she has going to change to red as she gets older, or is that a different type of blood python all together?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated guys, and thanks in advance!!

    Sweet, so is it going to stay basically the same color? As in, the yellows and browns will stick around?

    *edit*

    Another question, is it just my type of Blood python that doesn't change to red, is it just some bloods come out with more red than others, or am I way off base here and it's something completely different?

    No way to tell if its Malaysian or Sumatran

    But more than likely Sumatran

    Borneos are a completely different species all together. So no, thats not a Borneo

    You have the correct species its just that truly red animals are usually bred for and can fetch some pretty nice prices.

    This animal will probably stay about this color, though will darken with age.

    This is why its important to buy direct from breeders who have put the time and work into breeding the best specimens they can get their hands on. Breeding for whatever color they want. Mostly reds, though high yellow animals seem to be liked by some.
