Darren came to my place on saturday.....

[Grant vg]

to sex my snakes and he snapped a few pics while here...

Let me tell u...these guys were less then impressed about getting probed, and Darren gave me a good lesson in snake wrangling...lol

Heres my Yellow variation Female blood python....As of yet, i have not seen a blood with all yellow and no red on them.....so im hoping i have stumbled onto something special....:)

She has gone under a tremendous colour change since i got her...and she is just getting better!
Enjoy...

This is me mopping up the floor after the male above... gave me and Darren a good musking....Fortunately Darren got most of it on his jeans, so my apartment dosn't smell as bad as it would if Darren didn't take it with him in his car....lamo/...:p

Nice bloods ... amazing lookin'

Can't wait til mine gets that big..

[Jeff_Favelle]

Those suckers are big dude!

When are ya going to breed them?

How the heck did you make those fine cages in an apartment?????

[Darren Hamill]

LOL! I can't believe you posted those pics that I took of you cleaning up the mess on the floor! (Musk and Poop) LMAO!

Unfortunately I was the one that got it worse that you! I had it all over my freaking jeans!

At least I wasn’t the one that stepped in it afterwards!

Really though... It was a pleasure coming over and seeing you're collection Grant. You have some beautiful Bloods. I wish you the best of luck this season to come; hopefully you'll produce some beautiful reds and possibly Borneos. If I'm ever in the market for Bloods I'll be giving you a call!

[Linds]

Very nice! :)

[corr]

Gorgeous snakes, Grant! I might have to get me one of those. :)

Great pics, Darren!

[Yve]

she...oops, i guess he must really be ticked that i'm not around anymore....can't explain that rebelious behaviour:confused:

[Yve]

oh yah....that yellow one is really striking! just gawgeous!

[sSNAKESs.com]

WOOOOOOOW!!! VERY NICE BLOODS GRANT!!! I WILL be buying one of those gems!! :)

[Grant vg]

Thanks for all the nice replies everyone!:)

And for all u interested in buying some blood pythons.....WAIT!
I am trying to produce them as fast as possible...lol

Save ur money....they'll be here soon....:)

I cant wait to show u the rest of my pics....some of them are really stunning!

[Simon R. Sansom]

Sounds as though you guys had fun! Bloods certainly can be cantankerous when it comes to divulging their sexes. LOL!
Those are some very impressive animals you've got there.
I've been meaning to ask you before; what are you using to heat the cages that you built? It seems from your pics that you have a slight space between each cage. Is there some sort of sub-floor heating? Heat tape? Heat pad?
Thanks for sharing pictures of your animals with us.
Best Regards,
Simon

[C.Marshell]

Super lookin bloods Grant!!!.....Thanks for sharing the pics and the story.

[Grant vg]

Simon,

I am using helix tape underneath....basically i used the circular pieces of wood that i cut out for the vents, pleaced then under each corner of the enclosures to provide a recess....then used the same thickness(5/8) slabs of wood ,., attached the heat tape on that and slid them under....that way, they're scrunched to provide good heating, but i am still able to take them out easily for maintenence....

i find it works very well, except for the bottom enclosure, which i had to screw in the slab of wood so it would stay in place and up against the enclosure floor...:(
Its screwed me a few times....but i cant think another way to heat the bottom one...

Thanks, Chris!

[Jezabel]

Great pics!!!!!

The yellow red blood is stunning:eek: Awesome snake. Do you think at that size that he will keep this color or it still might change?

[Grant vg]

Jez,

The blonde one is a female, since i got her she has gone under a dramatic change...she just gets lighter and light...paler and paler (,---if thats even a word)
She still has a lot of growing to do, so i am hoping that she will get even lighter...

Only time will tell....:)
