Blood Python

[Lexi]

Well My CBB Blood should be here on Friday..im excited..
Anyone have any tips?? Or owned one before? I know Striggs has one.. But i havnt seen him on here in a while.

How big is it supposed to be and are you wanting it for breeding or just because their cool

 

[shiftylarry]

Blood pythons seem to have a bad reputation, which I don't think is really deserved. Your baby snake is potential. If you interact with it, you have a good chance of having a really nice snake. That being said, I know plenty of people who are breeders and spend almost no time handling their blood pythons and have some real maniacs on their hands.

I'm sure yours will be great. Please post some pictures of the snake and setup so we can all have a look.

Its a babie.. I dont know how big... but heres a pic.

Beautiful little guy he is!
Iv noticed their isnt many care sheets on these guys...iv been looking around on the web for a couple months now..and not many of them are full of detail.

I owned one before, theyre really cool snakes.
Not hard to handle or feed. just be carefull as with any large snake.
and they need more humidity than other pythons.

 

[Lexi]

yeah i got this all down pat now.. Got my tank setup for now.. i gotta go out and buy a temp controler for my under the tank heater im using. other then that i think im set.

It would be cool if you could find out how big he currently is.
Along with Coldthirst, I was wondering if you were interested in starting up a lil breeding project with them?

 

[Lexi]

I would like to breed..but right now he is a pet. when i get a female (which i have been looking at some) i might breed. havnt made my mind up yet.

Cool! Lemme know if/when you breed them; I (or one of my buddies) might be interested in buying one (or more) from you.

Ill let you know!! I should be having some beardie babies hatching in the next month.. wanna buy some of them too?

 

[DZLife]

Me? No, but I will ask my freinds (the responsible ones only!)

 

[Lexi]

yeah most of my friends cant even handel having a cat as a pet.

 

[shiftylarry]

Lexi, many responsible people can't handle a cat as a pet either!

I'm one of those strange people who has cats and hates them at the same time. It's one of those things where I like my cats, because they're mine, but hate your cats and all other cats for that matter.

i hear they're really dirty, the last time i held a blood python, it almost bit my hand

thats how i am too..i hate cats..but i love my own.. Im just saying..My friends have gotten geckos and other reptiles before.. but let them die..didnt clean their tanks or anything.. Most of my friends are lazy ..

And Korean how did it "almost" bite your hand?

 

[KoreanDeathKid]

it struck at me while it was in my hand, but since it was just a baby and it fell on the floor while reaching for my hand
i seriously have no idea tho, i thought i felt his nose, but the next thing i saw was a baby blood python lying on the floor slithering around

 

[Lexi]

awww.. He just wanted to taste you!! lol
Yeah they can be flighty and bite but im hopein that ,that wont be the case with my babie.. i mean i always expect to get bit when i receave new reptiles.

 

[ColdThirst]

My tegu bit my finger today, not bad though, I got home late, so he was really hungry haha.

 

[VARNYARD]

I like bloods, I have had many of them, I will say this, and they are one of the fastest striking non-venomous that I know of. They remind me of a pit viper.

Congrats on the new snake Lex!!
