    Care Sheet

    Considering the lack of info one these guys. I think somebody who knows the ins and outs of bloods and short tailed pythons needs to make a care sheet for all of newbs trying to get into this species. I've had a lot harder time tracking down good info on these compared to ball pythons. Especially considering all the myths and different ways I've seen them set up.

    Anyone wants to undertake this bloody project will be a hero!

    Re: Care Sheet

    I have been wanting the same thing. I really want to pick up a Blood, but refuse to do so until I learn everything that I can about proper care of them. I would really love to see a good care sheet....

    Thanks!

    They really are the best snakes out there

    Hardly ever poop

    Require very little food, but eat all the time

    Willing breeders

    Perfect size

    Not to mention the colors attainable by selective breeding will knock your socks off!

    I just uploaded some pics from my Galapagos Islands trip. I think they are worth checking out.

    Re: Care Sheet

    This one is pretty inclusive as well. Not to mention, if you wait just a bit longer, Tracy will be putting out the Blood Python book, that I am sure will include more info than you could ever need.
