Size Variations between Bloods
I know there are a few different types of Bloods.
Can someone give me a simple run down as to the different kinds and their average sizes?
Thanks!

Doesn't answer my question though.
Blood pythons (Python brongersmai) - Size Average?
Sumatran short-tailed pythons (Python curtus) - Size Average?
Borneo short-tailed pythons (Python breitensteini) - Size Average?

Blood pythons (Python brongersmai) - Big.
Sumatran short-tailed pythons (Python curtus) - Large-ish.
Borneo short-tailed pythons (Python breitensteini) - Fat.
:rofl: I'm sorry, that was not helpful in the slightest. I just couldn't resist. I know the Sumatran short tails are the smallest of the bunch, though I don't remember what the average size is. I have made myself stop researching them because the more I know the more I want one.

Ooops sorry.
Blood Python: Hatchlings approximately 12 - 16"+/-. Females average 4'- 6', males average 3' - 5' adult size. Maximum reported size is around 10 feet, although 8'+ specimens are considered EXTREMELY large. Blood pythons are heavy, robust snakes that may exceed 30 pounds in weight as mature adults
Borneo short tails: Hatchlings approximately 12"+/-. Females average 4'- 5', males average 3' - 4' adult size. Maximum size is around 6+ feet & 25+ pounds.
Those I got from NERD's website.
Python Curtus I'm unsure.
Re: Size Variations between Bloods
Well, my two largest are a 13 year old Borneo STP female who is over 6' in length, and a 7 year old blood female who is right at 6'. Both were overfed by their previous owner.
My largest curtus is an 8 year old female who is approx. 5.5' in length, raised & maintained on a moderate feeding schedule - every 10-14 days.
The majority of my females of all three species (3-6 years of age) are between 4.5-5' in length, and in the 10-15 lb range.
Does that help?
