We don't often visit this forum, but when I realized there was a special Blood section, I had to come check it out!! When I first read about the bloods, I was breathtaken. So, we went to look at babies and realized they were very nippy .... and we decided the snake wasnt for us (My boyfriend and myself). But, I kept researching and realized some specices calm down. I didn't want a full adult already ... which was all that was available ... But then I found out that a local high end reptile store had just flown in a pair of sub adult bloods. first leo wentto look then he took me. the male sure was a fighter! but the bigger, beautiful female was calmer and didnt seem as agitated. So, after 'handling' her for about an hour, we purchased her! She is from Bob Clark with lines from Sumatra. She is around 3 feet long and we havent gotten the weight measurement because our scale doesnt go that high! I would guess between 10 and 15 lbs. And, here are her pictures!!!
Just to clairify, the cage those pictures were taken in was just a holding place for a few minutes until I attached the heat pad to her 55 gal.
Anyway, are there any suggestions, comments, anything special? I slept with a shirt the night before we got her and put it in there with her so she can become familuar with me. And we are going to leave her alone for two weeks until she settles in.
