Cool snakes, held a 6 foot female once that I thought about buying but that's about it. A 6 foot blood is about as thick bodied as a 10-12 foot Burmese. I hear they have extremely fast strike speed too, and are often suggested as a nonvenomous "teaining snake" for Gaboon vipers.

He's gorgeous - don't let the haters deter you. 90% of GD can't tell the difference between a garter and a rattlesnake, they're both scary and should be killed with fire.
Blood python temperments can vary just like any other critter, some are chill, others will barely tolerate being handled. Hell a few of my adult ball pythons are super defensive and will tag me if I move too quickly. I don't have any blood pythons, but I do have ball pythons (yeah pet rocks LOL), 1.2 savu pythons, and 2.3 reticulated pythons, as well as BRB's, BCI's, and assorted colubrids. Are you on either BP.net or redtailboa.com? |

I had one of those back in the 90s, it was imported from Malaysia. It was a real asshole at first but settled down enough that it wouldn't bite within a month. It never did like handling though. I had it for about 10 years before giving it to someone else.

The biggest problem with Savus is the same one boas and many colubrids have, making sure they don't eat themselves to death. Fatty liver disease can take a decade off of a snake's lifespan. |

Partly training to keep from getting bit-blood pythons have a similar strike range to body length ratio, similar unpredictability, and similar strike speed-they're fast. IIRC they also have similar care requirements though, and are easier to sell than Gaboons if you decide they're too much work. |

Quote HistoryNice. Mine looked pretty much identical. It's head (and body slightly) would turn dark like that when it got a shitty attitude about things, whether it was just stress or it was pissed-off. Otherwise it was gold. Even when mine was clearly upset it refused to bite, never tried to after the first month I had it. |
