Small debate

Guys,

If you were in the dilemma to choose between red blood python or half dwarf hypo burmese python what would be your choice?

I currently have a suriname red tail boa and a normal ball python.

Re: Small debate

Hard choice. I think I'd go with the blood python, personally.

Re: Small debate

Burmese personally. I'm not too fond of the blood python pictures I've seen. I think they're ugly. But seeing as I am fairly new at even liking snakes (I mildly tolerate them lol) I wouldn't trust me.

Re: Small debate

I personally would go for the burm, as I've never been too fond of how heavy-bodied bloods are, and I love hypo burms and a half drawf would make it even better, but thats just me. It's all about your personal preference.

Re: Small debate

Blood Python, hands down. Burms are too big for me.

Re: Small debate

Half dwarf hypo burm. All the beauty in a snake that will stay under 9ft most likely. Probably under 8. Better attitude too.

Re: Small debate

Really, it depends on what you're looking for!

I personally have a blood python as well as a Retic (close enough to a burm, I think, for this comparison to be valid lol), and if I were to get another python it would ABSOLUTELY be another retic (or a burm) because I love the giants and how active they are. My blood is a gorgeous display animal, but he doesn't have as much personality as my retic and also has more attitude.

Re: Small debate

I'd get both if i could, but if i really had to pick I'd go for the burm. Labyrinth and hypo are my favorite burm morphs.

Hypo dwarf burm. I have a blood, and I like him, but they are just too inactive.

Re: Small debate

I'd go HD Hypo Burm everytime but .... I'm biased as I'm hopefully getting one myself next week

It's a HD Hypo male and expected to top out at 6 foot , 7 foot max .

I understand that HD have nice placid temperaments like their parents whereas the Dwarf Burms tend to be nasty little beggars ..
