Hi Elleria!

I own a Red blood python male. They are great snakes and i've fallen in love with them!!!. Mine unfortuantly is very nippy, but to be fair, he has he's days! I have tried most of the tricks in the book, and i'm still working on it.

I have even come accros a corn snake that likes to bite, so it depends from snake to snake!!!

I'm looking to pair him up soon, and then i want some black bloods.. Just working on the funds :lol: !!!

I got mine from creature and critters captive bred but i know Bjorn recently imported some! www.reptilepets.co.za

Let me know if you need any thing else!! Will post a pic for you soon!

Regards,

Quintin

Ha ha... thanx Elleria.. I got mine from that exact same expo.. The little bugger launched out of my hand to bite me in my face, then i just knew i had to take him... Not sure if it was a good idea or not, (LOL) but he sure was the best looking one!

They have had mating from both the "blood" pythons that they have. I am not sure if they have all three "bloods".

They should have babies by the time the expo rolls around. Possibly give them a call and make sure incase others pop up in the mean time. Luckily from them you know they are captive bred and feeding.

Now that is one stunning healthy looking snake.

I hope you are breeding them because otherwise that would be a waste.

Wow, that is a nice specimen, love the colouring.
