blood, short tailed

[ohh_kristina]

What is the difference between a blood python and a short tailed python? Are they the same thing, just different terms? Sorry for the stupid question, I have been hearing these two terms for a while now and really want to know.

The blood is the red blood or python brongersmai, the bigest (usualy around 6-7ft) that come either from malaisia or sumatra (and some other island like banka). There's 2 types of short tail, the borneo or python breitensteini from the borneo island, mid sized of the 3 species (4-6ft), brown orange yellow and cream in color, and the black blood or python curtus from sumatra, the smalest one (3-5ft) and alot darker in color then borneo.

And there's no stupid question :)

Also, many people refer to Borneo STP and Sumatran STP as Borneo Bloods and Black Bloods, this is incorrect.
