    Dude you look like Timberlake! haha

    Anywho, can't beat free can you!?!

    Being new to Bloods you ought to check out www.bloodpythons.com

    Lots of good people and good information over there

    For a quick rundown of husbandry....

    86 hot spot
    82 degree ambients
    60 to 70% humidity

    She is also a big girl and I would have to guess she's rather old or was heavily fed. If that were my big girl I'd be feeding her a Large rat every 2 to 3 weeks. Some might even recommend only feeding Medium rats that often.

    These snakes have such a SLOW metabolism and overfeeding is VERY easy.

    Theres a few Blood keepers here, feel free to ask us any questions. I feel like I can say were all pretty chill people, and would love to answer any questions you may have about your new acquisition

    Re: New Female Blood Python I got for Freeeeeee!

    Yeah she is VERY heavy for her age. My biggest girl is 4 years old and 16 to 17 pounds.

    I'd put that girl on a medium rat every 2 weeks.

    Best of luck with her

    Congrats, she is a very pretty girl! I'd say her feeding for you will probably not be a problem There are quite a few blood keepers here who can ask any questions you may have. Welcome to the wonderful world of bloods!

    It's unfortunate how you came across the snake - my condolences to the customer's brother - however good on you for taking in this animal that needed a home! And congrats on the new addition to your collection.
