    I know, and do what you want, if you want the blood, get it. They're sweet little sausages haha.

    Every species has it's issues, Retics with face pushing, Burms with RI....which in all honesty isn't even a concern in a proper cage like an AP enclosure. It's mainly from poor humidity levels. It's across the board though, not specific to Albinism or Granite only. If I have the stones to own and keep a 12 ft constrictor to begin with I would just accept the fact that she may take a swipe at you at some point, and it may occur when she weighs more than you lol. Nothing you can do about it. Off the top of my head though, when I think of problematic males I really only think of Iguanas and Retics. I'm sure there are other species but none that I've owned where it makes that much of a difference.
