Tori,
Blood pythons are a heavy-bodied, mid-sized Indonesian python species, Python brongersmai. They're in the python genus along with ball pythons, but are related more along the lines of "third cousins twice removed."
Blood pythons are closely related to the two short-tailed python species, the Borneo short-tailed python (Python breitensteini) and the Sumatran short-tailed python (Python curtus).
Great question!
