They are a wonderful snake to have if you are willing to deal with a defensive and shy Python. They can be very skiddish especially when young but with proper care they do turn out nicely. The reward is huge. Mine was a bit of a maniac when I first got him and he needed a full 2 weeks to settle in to his new home. After that he took to eating right away and he isn't quick to bite. As time passes he continues to calm down more and more. Mine is about a year and a half old and I've had him for a little less than a year so I'm still going through the paces.

The biggest piece of advice people here give is to keep a young Blood in a small enclosure to help them feel secure and safe. Too big of a cage can stress them out and cause many problems.

Keeping the right level of humidity is extremely important whether the snake is in shed or not and of course temps. There is not much room for error with these guys.
yup.

Heres a good long reading....
