Re: New little red

Awe what a cutie!
I can't wait till next year when I finally can start collecting my snakes. I definitely plan to get a couple bloods.

I concur. Bloods don't like extreme humidity, although for some reason a lot of folks will tell you that they like things dripping wet, but those people are what I like to call 'wrong' :P

70-85% humidity is just perfect. Too high for too long and you're in for respiratory issues quickly. They also don't like high temperatures, often seeking refuge from anything over 85 degrees or so.

As for aggression, I assure you than any snake can be approach if the keeper knows and respects the animals needs. Even the most volatile Blood will eventually gain trust and calm down in the right person's care, but these are not for everyone. If a body is looking for something they can yank out of an enclosure, manhandle and toss back when they're bored of it, they'll likely pay dearly for that with a Blood, and rightfully so

Re: New little red

Your baby blood python is ADORABLE! So darn cute. If I ever get something besides ball pythons, I want it to be a blood python. I'd just make sure to handle it a ton to keep it used to that. I'd hate to have a 20lb biting snake!
