not to say your methods are wrong BTW they are fine and I dont doubt they work, wetting newpaper also works trust me I know through keeping them
peace
Just be sure that the substrate is not always soggy and damp. Bloods can still get belly rot. I had to treat my black for some minor belly rot and a burn (metal section of the thermostat cord got really hot and she was sitting on it, this was back when I first got her).
Btw, I'd use 3 or 4 layers of newspaper, sometimes bloods can really get the place soggy by slithering into the water dish, knocking it over, etc.
Hey guys, can we keep the hybrid discussion elsewhere? It's a bit out of place when he's asking for setup help....

I secomd the recommendation for multiple layers if going the newspaper route.
Our bloods are messy as all get out and we have to swap out the substrate at a rate 2 or 3x that we do for all the other snakes. Using the multiple layers makes it a bit easier to remove the soggy stuff without it tearing into lots of smaller pieces.

Re: Big Scare! (blood python pics)
aye I use alot of layers of newspaper and only allow it to get damp ( not soggy) this dries in a couple of hours and boosts the humidity but I always tray to maintain proper humidity with just the heat and the water dish which is large enough to soak in and not knock over.
I usually just lightly spray around the tank on the warm end and dont spray the cool end at all, this ensures it dries up quicker and is damp for less time.
my humidity sits around the 60% mark for most of the time and I will raise it to 75 or 80 during sheds for brief periods which has worked well for them.
There is a moose loose aboot this hoose !

Re: Big Scare! (blood python pics)
Well in 1 day it will be a week since I bought her. So far the water bowl has been kept on the cool side and I have never misted! the ambient reading for hum is 56-59%.
I think it is because I have the perfect amount of holes. 28qt tub with 4 on each small end, 3 on the front and 2 on the back totaling 13 1/2" holes.

That was some run on sentence. You should have made a new thread.
Nobody can help you more than reading caresheets.

Kara has an awesome site loaded with good info on bloods.
http://bloodpythons.com/cms/index.ph...ces/intro.html
Blood pythons are extra heavily bodied snakes. Much different than a ball. They can be over thirty pounds.
Buying a cage that a adult blood would need will be way to big for a young blood. A large adult will need at least a 4 foot by 2 foot cage. Your best bet would be keeping them in tubs until its time to get a big cage. Tubs are really cheap and easy to clean.
