Re: Boa or Blood Python??
I'd love to have an SD retic but as I understand it retics are illegal to keep in Iowa, as are Anacondas and most hots as well as hognoses. I really like boas but I love the bright reds of the bloods and the shape of their heads is awesome.

Well that sucks. I am sad to say you are missing out on the pleasure(and sometimes headthrobbing headache) of owning a retic lol. They really do look you in the face and it seems like they know you and are actually thinking like....'if i ever grow bigger than that guy, i am gong to have one heck of a feast' lol.
And you want red?? Check out the tail on Gina!! And don't mind the coiled up shocked look she has. I had to boop her snoot to get to sit there as she was much more interested in wandering around instead of sitting for a camera lol.

Re: Boa or Blood Python??
That Suriname is beautiful! I'd love to just get both but as a 14 year old in high school,with only a part time job it just isn't feasible

Re: Boa or Blood Python??
So I might go with the Blood Python What would be the best setup?? Also what brand of PVC cage do you use? Are drop down doors the best? or are swing/sliding doors alright? Also what substrate do you use?

Re: Boa or Blood Python??
Oh that reminds me, where are you going to get your blood from? Any breeders you have in mind?

Re: Boa or Blood Python??
Honestly I haven't looked at many breeders outside of MorphMarket. And that black blood is beautiful! Any recomendations on breeders?

I got my Blood off a local breeder, I would go to The Blood Cell or Reptillis. I'm sure you know to avoid Backwater, Underground, and BHB.

I was actually looking at those two and am part of the blood python forum. I think I might go with The Blood Cell but I am still looking at MorphMarket

If you are starting out with a hatchling, you won't need anything larger than a 28 qt. tub for at least a couple of years... 28 qt. is even technically too large for hatchlings and juveniles, but I consumed all of the extra space with wadded up newspaper when mine were still little and they were fine. I still have a 2015 female Blood comfortably in my 28 qt. rack. She will be getting bumped up into a 41 qt. rack within the next year, though. As far as PVC enclosures, I will be building all of my own when the time comes... I highly recommend newspaper (or craft paper) over any substrate for any snake. It's much more sanitary, easier to clean, no risk of the snakes swallowing substrate and developing major digestive problems and... It's basically FREE! lol
As far as breeders, I would recommend ME in the future... lol But, that's probably still going to be a couple more years, unfortunately... As for now, I would recommend Reptillis Herps or Reptile Rapture...
Have you decided on a Blood, Borneo or Sumatran ("Black Blood") yet?
