First Blood

Picked up a 2013 female Blood Python yesterday. This is my first blood so I'm pretty excited as I've wanted one for awhile.

She is taking F/T small rats readily (I never realized how quick their strikes really are, whether feeding or for defense, it's unbelievably fast. I think she is going to be a handful.

Thanks, yeah I didn't really expect her to take it because of the stress of being put into a new environment. She's also going into shed. Even then she still took to food almost immediately.

Thanks, I've wanted one for a good while now.

She looks great. I'm thinking of getting a blood Python for my collection.

I only have two bloods but if mine are anything like the rest out there then feeding is normally not an issue... anything stays in front of the face and moves to much will get hit lol.

They are a very rewarding snake, I love how slow and sluggish they look, catches everyone of guard when they see how fast they can really move when they want to. If you like snakes that have very distinct personalities bloods are great.

Cant compete in sheer size with something like your burm, but I am willing to bet her threats and antics will be right up there LOL

anyway, congrats on the nice pickup I am sure you will love it!

So far she's been doing well. I'm shocked at how placid she is. I guess I had fallen victim to the hype of their reputation. She's not a ball python but she's definitely not an aggressive snake.

I think a lot of the bad hype they get is from how overly defensive some of them act as small juveniles, they see a small snake that is striking so hard it is literally flipping its body over and go "O crap..imagine that at 20+lbs" lol For the most part it seems they hold true like most snakes that the bigger they get the more mellow they get.

Off topic but i find using a $100 bill for perspective to be quite pampas and tacky.

Nice snake though

I agree, he should have used a stack of $100 dollar bills...I mean how else are we supposed to tell how tall the snake is?

^^^LoL

Pampas?

If you mean pompous, I'm sorry if that offends you (sarcasm). But that photo was taken by the seller.

I am not offended, just stating an opinion is all, and yes pompous thank you... my phone gave me the other spelling.

Then you are not the tacky one.

Sorry to have offended you

Calling someone tacky and pompous in the thread they started to show off their new snakes because of the currency they used in a picture is kind of tacky :D

Well, your new baby is neither pompous nor tacky. She's is truly gorgeos. ​We have a Blood in our family, and she is the best lap snake in the world. She will sit and watch crime shows for hours on end. Enjoy.

Understood. I only used the sellers photo because she was going into shed when I brought her home.

Beautiful! I want one so bad, they're so pretty!!! Grats! :gj:

Congratulations! Bloods are fun!

She's been with me about two weeks now. Doing well.

Looking really nice. I think this photo shows her off better than the other ones.

Thanks. Wish I had better photos but the lighting in my snake room/bedroom is very dim

I agree, looks even better in your pic, pretty girl! I have a super hard time getting good pics to show their true color, just doesn't quite capture real life.

Nice reds in her! Good looking girl

I don't know why I thought this was going to be a Rambo thread, maybe i'm getting to old, lol.That's a nice looking blood though.

She's amazing :gj:

Appreciate the positive comments. Just weighed her for the first time since she's been here. She's about 780 grams.

I like your Blood the dark head is cute...
