I've Decided......!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DeesBalls]

Well, after looking at pictures, articals, and tons of reading today...

i have decided on a black Blood python!


I hope i can find one at an expo... but if not i found a website online im going to try.

it is intriguingreptiles.com so if anyone has experiance with them, please let me know...

i will be going to the Cleveland reptile show Sep 18th and if they have one, i will get one... i was planning on getting a albino ball but that will be the last... sort of like a "going out with a bang'' to end my collection ...

sorry to keep bothing you all again with these posts, but i am finaly decided!!

Hey! Congratz! And If you were to order online LLLreptile.com is pretty good. Ive orderd a couple snakes thru them and 2 months later and they are still healthy and happy!

Cool can't wait to see pictures when you get one. Another good place to get them is from Ben Siegel at Ben Siegel Reptiles Inc. (http://www.albinonile.com). He got great snakes and reasonable shipping prices. I've gotten 4 of my snakes from him and might be getting some Red bloods from him.

I don't blame you- they are awesome snakes. Be picky about the temperament and be sure to handle any you're considering. Bloods can be touchy, but I've seen plenty of incredibly tame ones.

Thanks guys, thanks for all the options of the places to order. i will look at those now.

.. thought about it... going with a black blood, but having problems finding them, if i cant get a black blood, i will go with a IJ carpet, or RTB.

Personally I don't find any difference from one subspecies to the next where Bloods are concerned. It's much more about the individual snake's disposition, and how one approaches it.

I've read for years that brongs are more difficult than breits, and that breits are more difficult than curtus, but I don't see that myself. I've also been reading for years that size is relative to subspecies and that it's the same order as above from largest to smallest (brong -> breit -> curtus), but I can tell you that I've seen 7 footers of each and that I firmly believe size is more about lineage than it is relative to subspecies.

Of course, these are just things I've noticed over the years I've been working with them, so there are variables for every aspect, and they're just my personal opinions.

Best of luck with whatever you get :)
