Blood pythons are currently my favorite snake to own, so much interaction required you just have to love them! The first blood I got came in with a mouth full of care fresh bedding, and no $#!t she let me just pick it out of her mouth with my fingers! Even since then she has been at least as tame as most ball pythons, if not moreso! Both my other bloods have been much the same, with Nephry being even less of a threat haha!

Yeah I realized that afterwards.... I am so used to blood pythons being a general python subject that I missed it at first.... I can't wait to get a sumatran male, I'm thinking I might wait for a caramel male, who know's.... truth is I want a black striped borneo right now more then anything! If you want a black I would highly consider ordering from the blood cell, they have mastered it in one fell swoop! Though you are in Canada so I can let you know if the breeder I got mine from has more if you'd like. It will be a couple years and possibly the breeders may be retired, but with any luck they can go a few more! Thanks again, I will remember to post this in the blood section next time! ~Caylan.S.~

lol its all good :) and yea where in Canada are you located? I already have two on the way unrelated pair
that and I am really excited to be getting some Matrix's in the next year or so :D Ivory's here I come!

I am planning on starting a Blood python breeding project accompanied by my buddies ball python breeding project :)

My bloods are still about a year or so away from being breeding size though :(

My Spider ball python on the other hand :D

My bloods are, comfortably for me, at least 4 years away, even the 2.5 year old. I would love a matrix but lets face it, I'm 20 and patient... lets wait until they come down in price... much like desert ball pythons and leiopython hoserae lol. In the mean time I have other plans.......... I have a couple/ one ball python ready to go this year as well, and with any luck, it will be big as well lol. Regardless I'm excited for some yellowbellies, which says alot lol!
Spiders are pretty much ready in 8 months lol, so best of luck with him, I'm sure he's good to go! Just wish my enchi some luck lol!

Nephry's eyes remind me of the one in the lord of the rings lol... Thanks!

and I tend to think you should always judge a person by the way they treat an animal... if they can respect soemthing that won't remember them, they are more then likely to respect someone(like a person) who will... sorry just a thought lol...

Let me just say WOW you have some super nice looking Bloods. Sweet pictures BTW.

Thank you! I think bloods are currently my fave species to work with, but I have worked with much lol. I need some better pictures of Ashe, now that she finally fully shed lol. I have a feeling she will be my red blood, and Lucy will be my Orange blood. Nephry will be black no contest! Her eyes will always be my favourite feature, besides her personality!
Thanks for the compliment on the pictures, I'm really trying to get as good as I can be with what I have available for cameras($150 max lol, not much of camera compared to whats out there) thanks again! ~Caylan.S.~

noticed you mention the southern black phase white lips,are there a lot of them around over your way ?

they are becoming a little easier to find in europe these days

a very nice looking snake imo

cheers shaun

I mentioned the southern white lips, but they are far from available... two clutches that I know of in the US, I tried to get a pair but no one to import them into Canada, and again at age 20.... I don't have alot money/luck yet lol. I spoke alot with blake bauer and Tom Keogan a lot about them, so I know how to get them next time they become available, but they are my holy grail, moreso then the boelens and oenpellis pythons, which are also high on my list... I wish they were as available as they are in europe, I'm ready to take on a pair of notherns lol... ~Caylan.S.~

Thanks guys! Nephry is still all eyes right now, I wonder how they will look when her head is huge lol. Gonna be the only colour besides black though I think! ~caylan.s.~

Awesome bloods. I too love Nephry and her eyes.

Being able to see a blood pythons eyes is vital I think. They are far more visual then any other snake I've owned. They flicker and are constantly moving to see whats around, and they even have independent movement, where one eye can look back while the other still stares at me. Ashe is great for this lol. If they had eyes like a ball python, instead of the personality, I might be screwed lol. ~Caylan.S.~
