Finally Got One

I have wanted a large python for awhile (but due to having 3 Chihuahua's the wife forbade me from getting a Burm or a Retic - feared it would eat the dogs...lol) so I finally found a Blood that I liked and here he is. He is a Bangka Short Tail. (Comments Welcome)

Thanks so much...He is already starting to show some red and his parents were deep deep red in color so it will be fun to watch him develop his future colors.

Bangka short tail?

Correct me if I'm wrong but that looks like a python brongersmai. Like what I have.

There's python brongersmai (blood python)

There's python breit (borneo short tail)

And there's python curtus (black blood)

Again I may be mistaken. But that looks like a brongersmai. Good looking animal!

"Bangka red bloods are defined by their pure locality. They are from the island province of Bangka off the east coast of Sumatra. Bangka bloods are known for there deep, dark reds, with amazing color contrasts of black and reds as adults. Keeping this locality pure in breeding programs is essential for their great color expressions." From solarserpents.com

So he is a brongersmai but is a specifically from a secluded island population.

Now that is a thick one

Ahh gotcha. I think the malaysians are like that too. They're supposed to get real red. And are also the ones where the largest adults are supposed to come from. Of course there's no rules with anything. But that's what I have.

Hopefully she keeps on her track and gets dark!!! I'm a sucker for the real red adults.

Whered you get her?

I got him from Paul Edwards Reptiles (Paul is a great guy to deal with)...I also saw pics of the parents which were deep red/black so he has good genetics helping him get dark ;)

Awesome! You got a weight on him? Age?

Might I ask what he ran you?
