So I'm planning out on what to get at the expo which isn't for a while so I have a lot of time to plan on what to purchase and such. I'm stuck between a Blood and a JCP, but I'm leaning more toward a Blood. I'm looking for something else rather than a beginner snake (BPs, corns, sand boas, etc.) and that brought me to the Bloods and JCPs. Would a Blood be an all right next step for me? I'm trying to get into purchasing intermediate snakes, and I already own one (Dumeril's boa, though seems so easy to care for.. well for now). I heard they can be a little nippy when babies/juveniles, but I certainly wouldn't let that happen when it becomes older because I will be handling it like I handle all of my other snakes. I do have a problem controlling humidity sometimes, but that's because I keep using the heat lamps which I do not need. Though, I will definitely get heat pads. I love the way both the Bloods and the JCPs look, they are both so beautiful. I love the Blood's bulky size, but I love how beautiful the JCPs get. Though, the JCPs are more slender, and the Bloods seem to get heavy (how heavy would an adult get? 0_0). I'm still reading up on both species too. So, which snake would be a better-next-step for me?
