A little information on blood pythons, I don't own any myself but Bryan from BHB reptiles does do some of his youtube "snake bytes" shows on them. They are not as popular as the ball python but a perfectly good snake to have.

With my BP's (well my bigger boy) I can just stick him on my neck and chill or let him have a little wander on my bed under supervision. They're not as active or quick as some of the colubrids (e.g corn snakes) The best thing to do is a quick online search into the different types and find the care sheets and read up on them; they'll give you the basics so you can work out which would fit into your life. Snakes are very simple to care for, whilst you can get the beautiful corn morphs a lot cheaper than BP morphs if you are just looking for a one gene or normal BP they are priced quite reasonably. As you would guess, higher end and double/triple gene BP morphs etc get more expensive as time goes on.

Looking into morphs will drive you mad, you'll either be baffled or want them all! I have a pastel BP, het albino BP, bumblebee BP, spider BP, albino BP and het genetic stripe BP. The het BP's look exactly like a normal to the eye but carry the genes for whatever they are het for.

Corn's just didn't interest me personally. For a first snake I would stay away from the burms as they can grow huge and require more experience. I was basically clueless when I bought my first snake but through a little time and help on this forum I don't feel so lost anymore!

Anything else which particularly caught your eye? Some people like the boa's rather than the pythons. All down to personal preference
