I really should have gotten online and read your replies but I do not regret the trade that I made. The blood is just a little over a foot so I have plenty of time to get used to her (she is the more jumpy one and has tried to bite a couple times). I got really lucky with the retic. It could have been bad, she could have been aggressive and shy or anything else. I am very fortunate in that it is very obvious that she has been handled a lot. She is so calm and about as tame as one of my ball pythons, I actually had her laying her head in my hand and falling asleep. Now as far as my stepdad and the three snake rule, surprisingly he's not mad at all and is letting me keep my blood python at the house. My retic is being kept at my friends house and while they haven't said no, I think I will keep her at his house for a while at least until I get a job and start making money. He doesn't mind keeping her over there and feeding her, and he has experience with reticulated pythons. His roommate also has experience with large snakes, as he had a Burmese python from birth up until he hit about 12 feet.
