Just some collection pics... (dialup warning!)

The reddest blood in my collection. This is "Rojo Loco" - a het albino male. These pics have not been tweaked in any way.

My other reddest blood. This is "Damn" - simply because that's what I say every time I open the drawer. She's an '03 holdback.

My favorite weird male from 2003

A dark female I had to keep...yep, she's a red blood.

A pretty -albeit angry- peach colored male. In shed.

This is "Appealing Banana" - my striped yellow Sumatran. She's extremely shy & this is the first pic I've ever taken of her. Took 8 months to get her to feed in captivity.

"Hope" - the little female Sarawak I produced this year.

One of my favorite female Borneos, from my friend Jasin Chapman. I named her "Georgia" since she's such a peach. ;)

Great pix!!

WOW! The reds on those reddest two are amazing, and the others are fascinating looking two. I really like the looks of the striped Sumatran, but they're all fabulous. Thanks for sharing the pics.

Thank you for the pics Kara!!! They are absolutely amazing! Do you guys still have any bloods left this year ( pondering :) )?

SWEET yellows!

You have quite a saturated screamer of a Red there too, Kara! I'm hoping Kali doesn't fade and winds up staying that bright as well.

Beautiful Snakes. I can't wait till I'm ready for one :)

Those are so cool how much do they run.....Not ready for one yet but mabe one day

Sure - just resend it. I lost a lot of emails prior to the upgrade.

Are any of those super deep red bloods for sale? If so, how much?
Also, do you know where I could get a black blood python with a yellow head?

None of what's pictured above is for sale, but all of my available reds are currently posted here:

KLG, you guys have some awesome looking bloods available this year. You have gotten my mind pondering :twisted:

K, what do the adults eat? From their thickness it would seem like they could down a rabbit with no problem, but it looks like it'd be a stretch for their necks. Do they just eat smaller rodents and get all robust like that?

Rabbits are a waste for bloods, IMO. These animals are extremely efficient when it comes to prey consumption/growth & it's very easy to make them obese. Even my biggest bloods (6'+) eat a jumbo rat at a sitting, although they're extremely capable of pounding down good-sized rabbits. Making bloods fat is the quickest route to not breeding them. I'm forever telling folks to save their money & just buy rats! :) You know, "Silly blood python keeper, rabbits are for retics!" :twisted: :twisted: Then again, most snakes in captivity are overfed as it is...but that's another topic entirely.
