    New to Blood Pythons

    I recently got to see a brongersmai blood python at a reptile show. I really liked what I saw and I'm considering getting a young one. They sure are pretty. Show me your bloods. I wanna see some morphs!

    The only morph I have is a T positive albino Sumatran blood, then I have a lovely jet black Sumatran short tail (Black Blood) python. Here's pics of my females, they're really nice snakes to work with:

    Re: New to Blood Pythons

    Wow they're beautiful! Amazing colors, and so FAT. I love it. I read the caresheet. They're husbandry seems to be exactly the same as ball pythons. Now I gotta start drawing up a custom enclosure. I guess they take a couple years to get real fat.

    Correct blood & short-tail husbandry is not exactly the same as ball python husbandry...there are things you can get away with w/ball pythons that would adversely affect a blood, and vice-versa. Furthermore, while they are heavy-bodied snakes, they shouldn't be fat. Here's some thorough husbandry info if you'd like to do some more homework.

    You say "saw." You didn't hold it? Was it an adult?

    They are not fat, it's muscle. If you haven't handled a nice big adult I would recommend it before jumping in. The are very strong compared to a ball and very different than your balls.

    Visit Kara's site and read everything. It is probably the most complete resource for one stop shop for blood information.

    I honestly like normal red bloods the most. This is my 13lb female. She is puppy dog tame.

    We have a few morphs, but selectively-bred "normal" reds are more of a focus around here. Some of these are repeats from other threads in this forum, but what the heck...here are a few of ours.
