My Blood always backs my friends down with his little displays of hissing and puffin' himself up, and they all own other snakes and yet they still fear The Duke.

lol exactly right and one of the reasons they get a bad rap is the so called attitude they have.

AaronP I dont think everyone is having problems with them mate, I know I dont view anything I have said as a problem or indeed what anyone else has highlighted but they are different than your stereotypical python due to their charateristics which is the main point most are making imo.

They are a superb species to keep ( any of the bloods or short tails ) and especially rewarding raised from hatchlings.
