i made up my mind.

[Iceman]

for around 7 months i thought of getting a blood python..and after reading care sheets over,and over,and over,and over again,i decided im getting one..
but i will not buy it from my local reptile shop,because seeing the bloods there how they were,turned me away from bloods completely,and the person at the place said its 99% chance you get a mean blood, 1% chance you dont..then i started reading the care sheets,and everyone here's comments about them,that changed it around..every blood in the cage at this place strikes at the glass when someone is near it..(well most of them)
at henry piorun's website it shows quite a few bloods,and in the description's it says there calm and easy to handle..from the information i got, i will believe that..

now what im wondering is any advice you guys have for me?
like male or female(or pair,lol)certain kind?
certain age?
and what do most people use as substrate..cause i use newspaper for my snakes now,but i prefer a more natural look,like actual substrate.
i would like any tips from people who have bloods..
let me know
