WOW - he is thick - very nice.

Really nice!

Looks great

Glad to see this fella had a happy ending! Is it just me or is he very overweight, though?

I don't think so! :) He looks a lot thicker in photos than he does in person.

Borneos and Bloods are supposed to look like that :D

He's beautiful... I like the blacks better than the reds, and would love to have one these in my collection some day.

The selfie pics are great, really shows his size well!

I'm excited for my little guy to get some good size on him. I know what you mean about the always looking up, always tilting that head up and to the side like 'okay.. i'm watching you!' it is a bit... intimidating at times!

As others stated, bloods are very thick heavy body snakes. Do a google image search for 'adult blood python' and you'll get a good idea. Some are absolute monsters.
:D

actually here's a cool little image I found about body size:

As you know, I have Bloods, Borneos and Sumatrans. Though, I am new to them, the rule of thumb I thought you were supposed to go by is, if you can't see their spine they're overweight. You don't agree with that? If we went by the growth chart you shared, I would say this snake easily falls within the obese range...
