These guys are amazing!. These are my fav species I have ever kept.

These guys are pretty easy to tame down. Though you will take some bites. Mine were super calm and laid back.

I have found that my blood takes for ever to eat. She is so lazy she rarely strikes. I put the thawed rat in with her and she will inspect it for about 20-30 mins. Then she insists on eating it butt first.... I don't get her. Lol but she is a sweetheart. Has never showed any interest in striking me except the time she tried biting my face.... At that time I was treating her for mites and had my face fairly close to hers. She must have been agitated.

Nice looking Blood!!!

Thanks! I actually acquired it in hopes of getting it to eat, Going to offer it a hopper tomorrow before I give it to my brooks, If not we'll do live in about a week and then try to switch. Wish me luck!

Very pretty blood! hope he/she will take to food soon :)
Top of my head unisex names Peregrin(Wanderer) and Breindel(Blessing) are nice names.

My thoughts too. Got any pictures with something to compare the size of the snake (dollar bill, soda can)? What size/type of prey were the previous owners attempting to feed? Hoppers seem a tad small. I don't think I'd even bother with mice at all TBH.

I've read about people having issues feeding these guys, but I find that surprising since my girl's like a garbage disposal on steroids.

I agree I have never had issues with feeding. I've only owned one though.

Pretty baby!

My bloods are incredibly slow eaters now that I have upped their prey size. When they were on rat pups, they'd strike/coil/eat straight away. Now that they are on weaned rats, I just set their feeders in a bowl with them and they take their time before they eat.. usually an hour or two! Yours looks about the same size as mine, far as I can tell with nothing to compare it to.

Slow eaters is right. Mines on jumbo rats right now. Woot. She's getting sooo fat.
