    I think Bloods are the.....

    I think that Bloods are going to be the Next big thing in morphs. I know that most of you know this ,but some people haven't noticed. Well I think that Blood Pythons are going to get as popular as Ball Pythons. Soon when someone says BP they will ask ,"Do you mean Ball Pythons or Blood Pythons"


    Well who agrees with my Hypothesis

    Re: I think Bloods are the.....

    The mere fact that Bloods are nippy and I think the last poll you created proved that not many thought it to be a good starter snake or a snake for a beginner, that they'll never reach the popularity of a snake that can be owned by ANYONE (that can get basic husbandry correct). Bloods are far less forgiving, from what I've heard, of husbandry mistakes. If Bloods got as popular or more than BP's, there'd be a lot of sick/dead/sad snakes out there I'm afraid.

    Don't misconstrue what I'm saying... I think Bloods are awesome, beautiful creatures. Just don't think they'll ever be as popular as the Ball, that's all.

    Bloods are beautiful, but I don't think I would want to deal with a 40+ pound snake.

    Hmm maybe I should of thought before voting. Well no one can be right or wrong since it is opinion. I hope there at least as many morphs for Bloods as Ball Pythons

    Re: I think Bloods are the.....

    The biggest reason bloods will never get as popular as Balls is the simple fact that they are very nippy when young. Now many people have spoken this "I can deal with a nippy snake" but when it comes down to it many of those can not deal with a nippy snake. They wont hold it so it will never get used to being held and it will not calm down. They will lose interest in the snake and the care will suffer for it.

    I never knew of people like that. If they are really scared of them being nippy they should wear gloves or sumtin during the tameing down stage.

    Are Bloods really as nippy as I heard they are. There is a difference between nippy and agressive though right?

    Some are really Nippy, some calm down fast it all depends on the individual snake and the keeper. If the Keeper is keeping the snake properly there will be alot less stress on the snake and it will be more relaxed and less defensive.

    Re: I think Bloods are the.....

    Balls & bloods are apples & oranges - you can't compare the two side by side & expect the same phenomenon to happen that has with ball python morphs.

    That said, bloods are going to be VERY popular (and already are) in their own right.

    I think the ballpython is always going to be the best pyhton there is but maybe the bloodpython might turn out to be very popular.
