    I think what's being "missed" here is that these "blood" pythons are all Python breitensteini ( Borneo)..If the world of rat snakes were judged by only the Texas rat snake then rat snakes would have a bad rap.. One can NOT fairly judge a family group by a species or locale..The Burmese python and African rocks are another example..I do not receive more than one bite per year (by babies) so I would say NO, But again I specialize in The Borneo locality type..

    I'd rather be snake bit then give my toe a good stubbing.. Have you seen my 6 year old granddaughter playing with the collection ?

    I didnt realize there were different types of bloods...so do sizes differ, temperaments? I love how these guys look...just trying to really decide if im ready to take on a big snake.

    In 2001 the 3 subspecies were promoted to 3 full species, here recently there was a 4th species added.. It is stated that it comes from Myanmar, which would be the most Northern occurring of the mainland Malaysian bloods and thus would put it furthest away from the equator.. It's said the red blood or Python Brongersmai is the biggest but there's not a large size difference between the bunch.. ( There is a good size difference between animals in various collections and mine are bigger than the average Joe's )
    But I'm out to answer questions of my own in which others do not have the answer to.. Temperament's do differ and IMO the reds are tighter wound/ nervous.. "BUT", Bloodlines and or lineages differ and there is likely some quieter than others.. If a person with a long standing program is on say his/her 4th,5th generation captive hatched, then they may very well have made improvements to the animals nature.. Because of the RED color they are the most popular of the bunch.. Ball pythons are SO popular because of their nature, But a sizable breeder will tell you they have hatched some little booger's in their time.. Concerned and focused breeders do make improvements..
