Relaxing and watching TV
Had a busy and long day, so I grabbed Sandor and we watched some TV together. He started exploring around my neck and shoulders but never strays far. Perfect "chill out" snake [emoji12]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...a7312848af.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...9938161927.jpg

Thank you !!
I can't wait to make some outdoor pictures. His colors are so difficult to capture, its frustrating. There is a lot of lavender in there, with soft yellow and orange. It all looks washed out in the indoor/evening pictures.
Neat thing about Bloods is that there colors intensify with age. So it will be fun to watch him change..

Re: Relaxing and watching TV
Lavender as well? Sounds awesome. I love the pattern too. How old is he?

He is from June '16, so around 9 month old.
The grey/taupe looking spots within the light speckles on the sides as well as the last 2 inches on his tail are more of a lilac/grey color. It doesn't show well
in my pictures, though.
Other people have far better pictures that show off the lavender color in the T+ albinos! I hope that outdoor pics or better lighting will eventually help me make better pictures.

Re: Relaxing and watching TV
Yes, indoor photos at night can be tough. I had trouble tonight capturing the colors on my BPs... I just read up on Blood pythons after I saw your pics. Seems like you made a really great choice and have one that still has a lot of room to grow. Please keep up the updates!

Years ago I had a Borneo that was by far the tamest and sweetest snake I have ever had. I know I can't "duplicate" him, but I missed having a "fattie".
While most snakes will explore and try to get away from you, his favorite thing was to explore all around me, but always within reach and always returning to me and shoving his head under my hand (tada, I'm hidden.., LOL)
They can be quite the clowns and a lot of fun. Very different from Ball Pythons, but then again, all species are different from one another and that can make it exciting to own a bit of variety ;)
I bet you are on pins and needles right now !!! Waiting on Fedex and wondering where the snake is and what it may experience!! Fedex was a bit LATE delivering my Sandor. Only a few hours, but it was torture! Even then, Sandor arrived right as rain :) Just think, this time tomorrow you will be the proud owner of a Bredli and telling us all about it :)

Your pictures make all of mine look like a kid finger painted them hahahaha... Then again my dirty smudged phone lens probably doesn't help. Im glad he is relaxing more & more, he must be really starting to trust you.. I think you got a buddy for life there Lucy [emoji6][emoji1362]

Yeah, I hope so ;) Since I handle him fairly often, I keep it really low key, just sitting down and relaxing for now.
Remember when I told you "in 2 weeks I'll kiss his head" ??? Of course I was kidding, but today he explored close enough to my face that I could have.
But I didn't really fancy a lip piercing with a fat snake attached to it. LOL!!!!

That sounds like a great snake! A sweet "fattie"! 😊
Yes, after getting involved recently with BPs for the kids, I quickly started to learn a lot more and decided I wanted to have the attributes of another species represented in our little family. Australian snakes and Bredli, specifically, really grabbed my attention!
So, pins and needles? Yes! I told the kids last night because my daughter was listening when I got the call. "Who was that, daddy?" with a grin. Lol. She can't wait to get to school and tell her teachers. Oh boy.
And I'm up early looking at my tracking. 12:06 am arrived in Memphis, TN from Spokane, WA. Departed 3:37 am. Delivery by 10:30! Anything later will definitely be torture!!!

Any minute now :)
I remember pacing by the door while waiting on each of the snakes ! :)
