some pics of my blood

This guy was pretty much given to me cause he was very snappy in his previous home. not sure how old "he" is, or even what sex or species he is. i tihnk he may be a red blood, but ive had someone tell me that it looks like a borneo...he may be a cross for all i know. i wasnt even sure what i would do with him, but hes really grown on me, so hes staying here :P with the bad rep they seem to have, i was kinda scared of what he would be like LOL, but with me hes been nothing but an angel :) hes very sweet and tolerant, never once tried to bite or strike :)

i believe that his cage in his previous home was much too large so he just felt insecure. the guy i got him from has a younger son that wanted to hold him, he prob make too-quick movements around him which prob make him strike too, who knows....

Awww, looks like a brongersmai, the red blood.

thanks :) im hoping he is a red and hopefully will have nice red colors later on :D

His scales just below and above his eye are dead on for brongersmai, but he could still be a mix. I'm not anywhere near good enough to tell just by eye balling. :oops:

But, he looks like he will be a nice red boy, and he has a pretty head, wicked pattern too. :gj:

you think he looks like a little male? believe me, im horrible at trying to identify blood species lol. ive heard about the whole eye scale thing, but some people dont think its very reliable :/ i seriously doubt i will ever try to breed him, but who knows. i MAY be open to it later on...idk.

The eye scale thing is very accurate if you know what to look for. Head scalation is the scientific way of distinguishing stp species. There's no way to tell if he "looks" like a male. Take him to the vet and get him probed if you really want to know.

Either way I really like him. I really like the patterning on his neck.

Looks like a brong to me. The thing about these and most young snakes is that they're naturally defensive. Yours should be no different.

Are you knowledgeable on they're husbandry requirements?

And is it just me or does his belly look like it may be a little rough? Is it the picture or is it scale rot?

Nice pickup! All these threads getting started I'm gonna have to post some pics of my animals :)

Great looking blood!

yea im familiar with their humidity/temps requirements. his belly is really smooth, just has grey coloring on it. im not however familiar with the eye scale thing....ill have to read up more on that.

he looks almost identical to mine very nice the bottom of the belly looks like mine as well vet said it was scale rot. very nice snake!
