lookng to buy baby snakes

It would help if you told people where you are from, then maybe someone local can help you out... maybe even give you some firsthand tips about keeping a secure enclosure. ;)

Hi,

I was going to move this but it would lose all the great advice you've been given.

I will edit your first post slightly if it is ok with you however and suggest that once you are ready to go ahead you can make a wanted post in our for sale/ wanted forum.

ok, so I went to Fish Gallery and they had my dream snake. Blood python. $129.99+ tax= $141.56. I got her. she's one years old. If anyone has any advice for me, please e-mail me at Whiteangel846@hotmail.com and title it blood python info. Thank you all who tryed to help me find another one. I will still be on here if anyone wants to talk and sometime even help me breed her in a few years.

THANK YOU!!! :)

I'm kinda wondering how old you are?

I would advise in future you research an animal before buying it.... just a thought!

I too was wondering this.
Make sure you get all your research done and the husbandry set for that blood.

Wow, I'm going to be completely honest when I say this.

I think you just like the idea of having any animal, and not so much love the animal itself.

You lost your BP that you had for a short time, now your jumping into bloods, which for all their greatness, do require more in husbandry and effort, which so far in these posts, you haven't hinted at in the least. Whether that be asking for advice on an animal that is completely different from balls in husbandry, or by the fact that you just want "any python, it doesn't matter."

Did you have the enclosure ready? Do you know what the proper husbandry is for a blood???? Have you dont ANY research?

Such a lack of concern frightens me and I feel sorry for the animal that has to put up with it.

To echo Connie on this one...

PLEASE do not acquire a blood python on impulse. While they aren't "rocket science" to keep, they do require attention from a dedicated herper with decent experience in successfully keeping snakes.

Not trying to be snarky, but if you have snakes getting loose, it may be time to brush up on your husbandry before tackling a species that requires more experience. Otherwise it may end up just being a bad experience for both you and the snake.

My BP was not my first snake, i've been around them all my life. Yse I have an enclouser for her and no it was not my fault my bp got out. My house is tilted so when I put his cage in my room it got a little tilted but i fixed that now. Also i'v been looking for a blood for years.

You still didn't answer our age question.
How does your house being tilted affect anything? Also, any escape is always the keepers fault. If you knew that your house was tilted or something, it's important to make preventative measures for that snake's well being.
If you could enlighten us on your experience that would tell a lot to everyone on here. What snakes have you worked with, since what age, and when you were young how did you work around snakes? Things like that. Be specific.
