Big Scare! (blood python pics)

So the snakes didn't actually breed physically???

That's a nice blood python. I would get one but they look too much for me to handle, especially when they are big

Well this is what i heard at first that he artificually inseminated them,then i heard they did infact breed.Since blood pythons are not of my interest i never checked back for any more info.

It would seem unlikely- even though they are different, if you can get some of those crazy hybrids to breed- a blood and a ball doesnt seem so far fetched.
I love bloods, and would love to have one. though, it will be atleast a year or two away... most likely 3. I want a big snake but not in length. :3

Maybe I was misinformed... how big is my baby Kali going to get?

@ Smulkin: LoL thats funny. I only chose that name to try and keep my "K" 4 letter naming convention.

They can get very heavy. I've seen one that 3 people needed to hold because it was so heavy.

Females average 4-6 feet and can exceed 30 pounds.

so that perfect then? only 4-6 feet? Wieght shouldn't be a problem. What size enclose will I need for her?

It sounds like you didn't do much research before getting her. Check the NERD caresheet on newenglandreptile.com

I did but they told me she wouldn't wiegh that much? I did know she was going to get 4-6 feet!

Do you remember who you bought it from? Some breeders will tell you anything to sell you a snake.

No, it sounds like you didn't do too much research, I was initially worried about that- considering bloods don't handle 'mistakes' very well. Go look up the caresheets and read all you can and make sure you get your temps exact. If you have a glass tank- screw it and get a tub it will make things 10 times easier for you.
