New Black Blood... PICS

I picked up my third snake from Joel Acosta at hamburg this past saturday... This time it's a female Sumatran Short Tail (black blood) and a very nice one, at that! Got a lot of growing to do... She's an 08 and will only get blacker!

Now I have three bloods, all from the same guy... he's turning me into a blood addict. I will probably pick up a male next show!

The other two pictured are my 08 pair of hypo het albino red bloods.

Actually, they are only '08's so they still have a lot of growing to do and their red has not fully come out yet. They should get redder, especially the male seeing as he is a slightly deeper shade. Blood pythons generally don't fully color up until somewhere between 3 and 5 years of age. Red bloods are usually born with reddish-browns and orange and as they grow they quickly start gaining color. You can often tell which babies will be nicer by how much color they have early on but i am sure there are some dark horses in regards to that. As for the blacks, they are also born much lighter than their adult coloration and they gain the black as they grow. This female has already turned out extremely nice but i can't wait to see what she looks like in a year or two!

Me too. One of my favorite snakes.

Gorgeous!! Love that face!

Aren't the bloods supposed to be a little ornery? Love the look of them though.

yes, yes they are rather ornery creatures and I LOVE IT!!!

This makes me really want some more Bloods LOL. The Sumatran is beautiful, she really is a stunner!! Thanks for getting me even more addicted to Bloods haha:rofl:

And thanks to 2kdime who got me into Bloods, now I think I may even breed those along with my Ball pythons (not cross breeding of course LOL)! I already have two Bloods, both pretty cool girls, but one of them is a big pissy if you don't handle her in a calm way. My boss learned that on Saturday, she almost got him in the face:8:

Anyways, awesome Sumatran, lovin' it!
