Where to buy a Blood?

Those of you who read my Boa post know that I actually went to the reptile shop looking for a Blood... well I'm still looking for one and am wondering what breeders are out there. Google brought up a few but not as many as I would like to compare. I am most interested in Black bloods but any good blood breeder that you can recommend me would be welcomed.

Thanks

I am also in the market for a blood, I have not exactly narrowed it down specifically to what I want yet (color, gender, age, etc) however I have been referred to a few people who have been VERY nice and have very good solid reputations:

Nick Bottini - Cold-Blooded Earth
Joel Acosta - Bloodtrail Pythons
and of course Kara at Bloodpythons.com

Those are the 3 I am considering purchasing from just as soon as I figure out what I want. I am torn between a blonde blood, a dark borneo, or a matrix. Just FYI, an Ivory is what I REALLY want but its just not in the cards financially right now. However, I CAN afford the ingredients... ;)

I am planning to go to the next Repticon show in Tampa to see some bloods in person....to get a better feel for what I want before I decide to "shop online". Something that is really important to me, since I am an experienced ball keeper but a very inexperienced blood keeper, is that I get something that is tame. And I know all 3 of the people I mentioned above are very honest in telling the personalities of their stock...and I feel comfortable ordering from any of them.

Best of luck! If you get one be sure to post pics :)

Thanks,

You wouldn't happen to know the date for the next repticon in tampa would you? I have handled a blood at a local reptile shop here in Orlando but it was just a juvi... so I would also like to get my hands on an adult before I order one online.

I got my het T+ girl at NARBC 2010 from Rich Crowley. Great guy, great animals. Check him out at http://www.richcrowleyreptiles.com/

There are some great guys on these forums with bloods, but I don't know if they have anything available this time of year. 2kdime and K-Mart come to mind, they have some spectacular red bloods.

Can't go wrong with the Barkers at VPI either.
