!!!!!!!!

im in love with those snakes!
how're theyre temper? they look amazing.

Jade sits better than the ball pythons calm and still. Which is why she has a huge layout compared to everyone else. I just chose the best 10 shots, then went on from there...
Onyx is still a baby yet, so he gets a little angsy after a while.

im so confused about the whole Sumatran Short-tail/ blood thing. are they the same snake? or completely different? and how aggressive is the Sumatran Short-tail and are they easily tamed?

[littleindiangirl]

Sumatrans are a different species than the Borneo short tail or the Blood Python. It's commonly referred to as the Black blood, and thats because at one time it was a subspecies of the Malayan Blood Pythons. Sumatran Short tail [aka black bloods] are said to be the calmest of the three species, but I have no experience with the other 2.

First off - gorgeous snakes!!! That is a really killer pair of Sumatran blacks!

With regards to species/localities, Sumatran short-tailed pythons were at one point the nominate species - Python curtus. The blood pythons (Python brongersmai) and Borneo pythons (Python breitensteini) were considered subspecies of the Python curtus, and the three were referred to as Python curtus curtus, Python curtus brongersmai, and Python curtus breiteinsteini (respectively), until elevated to individual species status several years ago.

Blood pythons come from eastern Sumatra, Malaysia, parts of Thailand, and a few smaller islands. Sumatran short-tails (the black ones) come from southern & western Sumatra. Borneo pythons are only found in Borneo & Sarawak (a region in Borneo).

Hope that helps clear things up a bit!
