Just purchased my first blood!

I just bought my first blood python today. And im excited. I have to pay a few more dollars on her, and then I'll be bringing her home.
once I do that, I'll be posting pics of me and my lovely :)

Congrats what kind of set-up are you going with?

What are your temps/humidity looking like right now?

Welcome to the addiction!!


Mike :rockon:

Congrats.. blood pythons are great snakes. They grow fast and are really impressive animals.

congrats. They're too quick for their size.
Mike is right....Its is addictive.
please post pics of him/her. and its enclosure.

Ill probably be bringing her home in a couple of weeks. but shes a young one.
I have a 50 gallon reptile tank I'll be putting her in also. It use to be my Redtail boas tank.. but i got scarlet a huge 7 ft. enclosure to put her in.. so I'll be putting the blood in the 50 gallon.

now the trouble if figuring out a name for the little girl :-/
lol

If she's that young, she needs to go into a 6qt or 15qt tub, not a huge 50 gallon tank. That would be setting her and you up for a big failure. She would stress out to the max and would likely not eat for months.

Congratulations!!! Remember to post pics and take Becky's advice, she knows what she's talking about ;)

Exactly!

Heed Becky's advice on this. Small blood + big enclosure = unhappy snake. Young bloods aren't as forgiving of husbandry problems as many of the other commonly-kept python species.

K~

Congrats on the purchase. I cannot wait for my new black blood to shed/have a few meals so I can get my grubby little hands on him! I'm jealous. *pouting face*

I have plenty of the 10 gallon & 20 gallon tanks for her to stay in until shes big enough for the 50 gallons.. shes probably about 2 ft. right now.. shes just not very old or anything.
but once i get her home Ill post pictures
