Blood type

[reptiledude987]

Can anyone help me determine what locale of blood he is. He is still young and will go through some color change but was wondering if its possible to determine locale now?

I have no idea but by your title I was first thinking you meant blood types as in AB+, AB-, stuff like that lol.

[reptiledude987]

Ya that was the idea lol

Looks line a Borneo blood. It doesn't have the intense red like Sumatran bloods do.

[reptiledude987]

My buddy from the store thinks it is a sumatran and it will grow into the red. But myself I have no clue. I like him either way just curious really...

Where did it come from?

Could be a Borneo short-tail from those pics.

[reptiledude987]

Came from some doofus in woodstock. I have no info on breeder or lineage

Can you get some head shots zoom in on the scales between the eyes. I am thinking Sumatran Red. The head scales will be able to tell you.

That's what zoom for. lol My big SSTP kind of has a red tint to him when i use flash. So i had to do a scale check to verify he wasn't a cross and was a true SSTP.

When I use zoom on my phone the pic quality goes to complete garbage.

If you can get close enough or glove up this is what to look for.

Sablet's Snake ? How to identify the difference in head scalation... (http://sabletsnakes.tumblr.com/post/96658476533/how-to-identify-the-difference-in-head-scalation)

I know there's is another way to tell with scale count just can remember what it is, but i'll keep looking.

[reptiledude987]

thats areally helpful thanks for that. I may have to hold him behind the head to get that close a look but from this Ill be able to figure it out for sure.

[marvelfreak]

I also know there's a way to tell by the scale count from the vent back but it's not as easy to do on a pissed off Blood.

[reptiledude987]

lol ya Ill stick with head scales for him lol.

He hasnt managed to tag me but when they do is it usually just a strike or do they latch on?

Mine were always just strikes but the one. Had my big Marble Borneo tag the back of my hand with his mouth wide open. It was so far open that he had to unhinge his jaw and work his teeth out of my hand. By far one of the weirdest feelings as i had to just sit there and let him do it on his own. So i didn't break any of his teeth. Took him less than a minute but felt like ten or more.

[reptiledude987]

I got these pictures but couldn't really tell which it looked like.

[marvelfreak]

Hard to tell the scale from the picture but from the looks it is screaming Red Blood.

I was looking at the pics with my friend last night and we were thinking the same
