5-10 minutes? That's not long at all for a blood! Mine has stayed in there for hours before, periscoping her head out,looking...
They're swampy snakes and spend alot of time in the water inherintly..My Ball pythons will only soak when they feel they need to, too hot or before shed, but only a few minutes as you stated. My blood also spends time with her face against the glass in her tank, I think the feeling of a boundry is probably comforting to them. I've even seen her drink the droplets of water from spraying down the tank, right from the glass....

yup. Like I said, since he soaked a bit, his colors are coming out beautifully, a tan caramel color fadding into more of a cream color.
Are bloods slow growers, no one has answered this yet? lol

i wouldn't catagorize them as slow OR fast...are they like burms? no... they grow at a regular rate, but it really all depends on your feeding regimen , how you keep them as well as there genes... if you dont want it to grow fast, feed it less, and vice versa...

I thought I posted before but, when I got my blood in september '03, she was 16", now she's 38", 22" of growth in 8 months seems alot.. I also got another ball in August '03 who was also 16", she's now 24"...
Also, most of my blood's growth was since january when I switched from multiple mice to rats..I keep her temps and humidity steady with a good gradient, and handle her daily...
She's really turned out to be a nice animal, and I hope to get another soon, a Maylasian male I hope....

Thats about what I was expecting. He ate for us, and I expect him to stay on a good scheduel of eating. He is a little huffy. but I'll handle him more after he eats 2 more times for us.
Thanks for all the answers everyone, from this post (by newblood2!) and from my own thread from a few weeks ago!
