OK, so it's taken a long time searching but I've finally ordered my new Blood Python girl!
She's a Marter line animal, 2016 hatch and should probably be shipping out today to arrive tomorrow - I'm waiting to get notification from the seller that the package is away. If you're not familiar, Kevin Marter is a well known breeder of Bloods who's been selectively breeding them for a long time now and is particularly known for strong red coloration.
This is her baby picture:
And this is what she looks like now:
As you can see, the red is coming in really nicely! That's a pic from the seller of course, I'll take some pics of my own after she arrives. For scale, she's sitting in a 9.75" deli cup and I'm estimating she's roughly 29 inches long using this tool: http://serpwidgets.com/main/measure
When I bought my Carpet Python a little over a year ago I was wavering between a Carpet and a Blood so I think it was kind of inevitable that I'd eventually go back and get "the other one". As it turns out there are so many awesome short tails that I had a really hard time choosing one.
I don't have a name picked out for her yet, feel free to make suggestions.
