If i wanted to get a boa though hogs would probably be my preference bc of their more manageable size. I like the idea of getting both though :gj:

Yeah I contacted a couple breeders today about bloods. I'm pretty sure I'm going with a red blood, but man "day breakers" black blood is hot!

I didnt know black bloods existed til i saw hers. I think that i still like red bloods a bit better but id have to compare them in person bc theyre both so nice. I think that the person "Deborah" on here breeds bloods. You could drop her a PM if you have any questions

Just remember that the 3 species once all grouped under the name Curtus have gained individual species status.

There is enough confusion in the world surrounding what species is which

For what its worth, Borneos and Blacks aren't called Bloods at all

There are the Python Brongersmai, aka the "Bloods"

Then Python Breitensteini aka Borneo's

And lastly the Python Curtus aka the Sumatran Short Tailed Python aka the Blacks

I breed Bloods and would be more than happy to answer any questions you may have. I will say that you seem to get what you pay for with these animals and buying CBB is the only way to go.

That's the spirit! :D

Both snakes are good, either boa or blood.

But I must prefer blood, because I love blood, especially my blood "Erythro

Get a carpet for sure! I just got one at Tinley and absolutely love it! Much more fun than a BP (Not that I don't love mine).

I think it would depend on your specific amount of experience and comfort. Bloods may not be very long but they are heavy hitters and can be extremely insecure. You need to have the patience to read your animal because they do stress easily. I have a good friend of mine who keeps bloods and he is incredible with them but even after 25 years of working with bloods he still has to be on his toes.

I think if you're ready for the challenge go for a blood. I do not yet have one in my care but I plan on it.

My ultimate .02 would be to find someone local to you and work with some Bloods to get the feel for this incredibly rewarding creature

Yeah I have been keeping snakes and other reptiles for close to 20 years, so the comfort is there. Now I'm just on the hunt for a good quality blood.
