Magma - blood python progression thread.

[redshepherd]

ABSOLUTELY the final member of my snake crew. So I have a permanent crew of eight now. No more.

The final snake was supposed to be Jack, but his thin colubrid ways did not satisfy me the way that pythons and boas do, especially while he's still growing. So back to pythons and boas I go. I considered a white lipped again for quite awhile, but ultimately still wanted a snake that is easy to handle for my guests/friends, docile, and has some sort of impressive heavy and girthy feel. I was debating between a BCI or a short tail python, and decided in the end on a docile blood... fewer people have bloods! LOL

He arrived sitting in a giant wet bag puddle of his own waste... So his scales were discolored brown and dried up like that, especially visible now on his whites and yellows. I'll either give him a bath or just let him shed it off on his own.

This boy is a USCBB T-positive albino, and will likely become increasingly red and dark as he grows up. He's taken his meal a few days ago without issue, though I had to leave his food in his tub and cover it! He didn't want to strike.

He's very calm and docile so far, like his breeder said. Just sniffing the air and sitting on my hand, hardly even moved. His temperament is comparable to ball pythons, but even less active when out. Almost all the photos came out clear, because he moves so slowly! Just like I asked for.

He's just a wee babe for now. I can't wait to see him develop and grow!
