Re: Is it time for a BLOOD??
Not to steal the thread from the OP (and hopefully potential answers will help him out too), but:
How many people have raised bloods from babies and had them turn out agressive? This isn't a baiting question...I'm honestly curious. I've had my girl since I got her as a hatchling last fall, and so far she's been nothing but a joy to handle....calm, curious, outgoing, docile, and a great feeder. She's getting up around 800g now, so still quite small for a blood. Is my lamb going to turn nippy as she gets older, or is her current behavior a good sign for the future?
This weekend I acquired another hatchling, this one a male, from a kid who had gotten it in trade for his anaconda two weeks ago, wasn't sure what sex it was or if it was eating, and wanted $50 for it. Although I haven't handled this snake much, he has been just as easy-going as my girl, and ate readily for me last night.
As far as care goes, I keep mine in tubs, on newspaper with hideboxes and a big waterbowl and so far it's been smooth sailing. Not nearly as skittish as my balls, have yet to see a meal turned down, and easy to handle. Roanna sheds out perfectly every time too....we'll see how Rojo does once he's been here for a while. :-)
I know there are mean bloods...I remember reading about the ones SPJ had in his care briefly...but are those WC, or can CB/CH babies also turn ugly?
