What is Hannibal? (craigslist buy)

The kid i bought him from said he bought him at a reptile expo here in kansas city mo at the end of the day when his price was marked down so he would sell. I dont know anything about him other then he was under fed when i got him and this is what he looks like in two weeks of feeding him two mice a feeding (he was eating hoppers 4 weeks ago when i bought him)

he is supposed to be a year and four months old.

I was hoping you could shed some insight on him as to if he is a red blood python, a sumatrian or a borneo sumatrin cross.

Regardless he is the sweetest guy ever and i think he is super pretty!

What was the name of the breeder it came from? Know by chance?

Some clearer pictures would help.

But Im going to guess a Red Blood Python by what I can see.

There HAVE been RED/Borneo crosses at the KC show before which is why I ask.

2kdime - the kid i got him from was a moron who said he couldnt afford to feed him. I doubt he knows who he bought him from

here are some new pictures

doe he look to be about 1.4 yrs old?

Looks more Brongersmai to me still.

Yeah he could certainly be that old, maintenance feeding is quite common.

I would agree it looks more brongersmai, but I wouldn't rule out the possibility of it being a cross.

Can you get a close up of the head? A top and side view? I see the red blood for sure, but it's iffy if there may be something else in there...

Red blood python? if thats the consensus YEAH! if hes a mix YEAH! if hes a frog YEAH!

I love him so much <3 he is So nice, he only hisses when you first touch him and then he is cool as jello the rest of the time

He's beautiful what ever he turns out to be. Congrats:gj:

his pick up price was $100 which included theis houge cage with heat pad, bedding, hides, digital guages etc etc. so I figure after you sutract all that he was only about $50

The scales (I could actually see better on one of the other pics you posted) don't point to it being a cross, so I'm going with brongersmai. I've seen those crosses and all the ones I was aware of had the small subocular scales under the eyes. Of course, maybe that's because if they didn't I might not have known (except that the colors weren't quite right). :rolleyes:

If you hadnt heard, apparently going by scale count anymore isnt a sure fire way to identify the species anymore.
