hey guys this is one of my first posts in this forum. i just bought my first blood python on feb 23 for $95, which seems pretty cheap compared to other prices i have seen online. But its the nicest snake i have ever had, it is soooooo tame. I'm really hoping that it turns out to be really red. im wondering what site people use to host pics i would like to post a pic of my blood for you all. well ill be around trying to learn as much as i can

Hey Sharno, WELCOME to the site!

You can upload a pic from your PC to your free 1 MB gallery here on ssnakess.com! Then, right click the enlarged pic, copy the location, and paste it between image tags [ IMG] [ /IMG] in your post(take out the spaces).

Yeah, 95 is pretty cheeap, and unfortunately is probably wild-caught. Glad to hear its tame and congrats on the new addition! Cant wait to see pics. Bloods are great.

well i bought it from a well known reptile store down here in florida and they had breeders in the back, they showed me this big fat one they had in a rack system so im assuming that they bred it but not sure, but im happy with it its so tame. ok well i will post a pic later tonight

snakes tend to be alot cheaper in the states so it's probably not WC, good luck !

[CHRISANDBOIDS14]

Carlito, that doesnt matter.....95 is still very cheap in the states. Most CB bloods down there go for 150+(normally 175-250) USD down there.

I love that sweet pattern in the back half! Very nice!

Store eh? Then its most likely wild-caught. Cudos to you for having a tame one! Also, wild-caugts that are raised from healthy babies tend to do well. How old is it? Looks like its about 18" Long? She should start putting on weight soon depending on how often you feed her. What and how often are you feeding her?

Cheers.

hey thanks yeah i love that tail part. its not really a "pet store" its a reptile store that does a lot of stuff down here its called ben siegel reptiles http://www.albinonile.com/ theres his website, they had what i believe was the first or one of the first albino nile monitor a couple years ago. i will call them tmw and see what they say. i bought it the end of feb and i was feeding it mice up until 2 weeks ago cuz they were too small and i have fed it small rats 2 times so i hope it starts growing like a weed. and i am feeding it 1 every week. i probably repeated myself a few times but im at work so oh well LOL. im not sure how old it is i kinda forgot to ask ill get it probed soon. well thanks for the replies.

[CHRISANDBOIDS14]

O, Seigel, Yeh, Could be CB then, but you never know. Glad its on rats now! You can feed rats that are 1-1.5 times the snakes width.

Good luck with it!
