    Going in order of pics top to bottom I like #2, but worry it's a poor feeder, looks thinner than the rest. #4 and #5 I like too, as well as the very last one but really depends on what you find attractive, a lot of variety in speckling, stripes and pattern to choose from.

    Love that tri-stripe on the upper body!! Unique!! Love the overall color and "cleanliness".
    Love the head markings.

    Overall condition looks great. Would inquire about general temperament. Most young ones are defensive, but there are the odd "spazzes" which I wouldn't want to deal with...

    Thats a female, (my initial choice) shes not to bad, breeder took her out when I was there and she ddnt strike once..what I also want to know, is there a big difference in size and temperament once full grown?

    Do you mean between male and female ?

    Definitely a difference in size. Females get bigger. You have the odd "large" male, but usually, females get larger and thicker.

    Temperament is an individual thing, doesn't depend on sex.

    If the breeder handled her and she stayed calm and didn't spazz out, then chances are, she will get tame. How tame depends on her personality and how much time you put into it.

    Since you can view them in person, ask to see the parents and other adults. You will get a good idea about adult size of either males or females.

    Ask to handle some adults, and you will get an idea of their strength, etc.

    I have handled an adult before, that specific female is eating the best and is the biggest, their temperements are on the same level more/less coz the only handling time they get is when cleaning the tubs etc, and he bought them all from some1 else so doesnt have their parents..he has full grown males and im happy with that size, I hope the female size will still be comfortable in the end

    I like pic #3 but like others have said, I'd go for disposition because I think all those snakes looks really cool. I get that bites come with the territory to an extent with snakes but I try to avoid it at all costs and bloods do have a rep for being bitey and quite powerful.
