I think Bloods are the.....

I don't think they will be as popular just because they are really picky about husbandy.

Where are they picky about husbandry? They require lower temps and the same humidity?? Sounds easier to me regarding husbandry... lol

Man... sorry for those guys. They must have some tough bloods...

I guess my little angels are just sweet as pie and a blessing.

Bloods aren't hard to keep, the fat slugs can be puppy dog sweet.
Great feeding response, calm disposition, GORGEOUS.... I'm in love with em.

Like any snake, they can be a handful and present some of their natural behavior if not exposed to people often (there are always exceptions to that).

The bloods are for those that want larger snakes than a BP, but don't have room for a giant.

Blood Pythons aren't beginner snakes, so they have a long way to go to be as popular as Ball Pythons. I still love Bloods (because they have great colors and are really fat [I love fat snakes; That's why I got a Hognose]) but they're not that easy to care for.

The only problems I've had with mine are the arguments over the TV remote. Darn snake just gets all grumpy if he misses 1 minute of the Dog Whisperer.

Ditto that, but...

They aren't as forgiving of husbandry mistakes. What comes as "no-brainer" stuff to keepers with more experience can sometimes be stumbling blocks for folks who haven't kept snakes long, or who have only kept one or two specimens. Bloods don't always handle the "keeper learning curve" as well as other frequently-kept species.

Just my $.02...

Would be nice for bloods to become a lil more popular, maybe we could get some more morphs out of em. I like my blood more than my balls, after he comes out hes more calm than both my balls and hes still pretty small. But I do think the size will be the main reason they wont be as popular, their rep as biters is going down but that will still take years. My 6 ft boa still doesnt even come close to comparing the size (girth) of a blood. My boa only weighs 9 lbs compared to a 6 ft blood that can weigh 35 lbs
