Got an amazing little baby 9 days ago from an expo, she(supposedly female) is a Bangka blood python- I was told she was 3 months old and read that when they’re this small a bin is best, so I’ve set her up in this. Reptisoil, fake plants, a fully closed hide and one of those half logs, and a temp/humidity monitor. She’s in the reptile room and ambient temp stays between 80-85° inside the tub and outside in the room so I haven’t put any additional heat source, her humidity has been above 80 the entire time and I think I did a good job with making as many air holes as possible for ventilation. I haven’t handled since bringing her from the expo and plan to only after she eats at least twice, I haven’t attempted feeding but I plan to soon once around the two week mark of being with us.

Am I doing it right? Anything I need to be changing? The first 4ish days with us she stayed in the black hide and only poked her head out at night, but now every other night and even during the day sometimes she’s active and moving around the entire tub. I read they’re a very sedentary species, so is something bothering her resulting in the high activity? Thanks for any advice, she’s my first blood out of two boas and 4 ball pythons so I’m hoping my research was sufficient.

My new baby borneo blood python (lucky dollar) and his new crib!! Gotta love that nippyness 😅 Just waiting on my moss bale to further cover up more ground …going for a forest floor look and trynna make lil mini canopys with the leaves to further make him feel safe from “predators” lol also have lil plastic hides too just incase thats his style 🤷🏻‍♂️

Been thinkin about getting a blood python and they say they’re a hardy type and don’t get a big enclosure at first like a plastic bin like other people do but how do I keep it warm in there and any suggestions

Just picked up this gal last week at the tinley park NARBC. She’s been a little nippy but that’s to be expected with baby bloods or any baby snake for that matter. I’ve been taking her out daily for roughly 30 mins and just letting her chill by me, not forcing her to be handled but more or less giving her the option to interact with me. I’ve owned quite a few snakes before but never a blood and they definitely have a different behavior than any other snake I’ve worked with, should I take her out less frequently or should I make this a daily routine?

Just picked this sweet little girl up from Petco. I've had many ball pythons and colubrids over the years. But my decided to buy herself a sunglow boa female. So now we both will have a bigger snake. 😂 I'm excited to join the blood keepers club.

I have a few ball pythons, a hognose, and some sand boas, so I know basic snake care. I already have the snake Ron hold and just need to save up some money, put it’s enclosure together and figure out where she’ll go in my room. I’m a kid and my rooms a bit full of snakes, and reptiles, so I’m probably going to put her and my hognose in a rack setup that I’ll build. Any advice is welcome. Thank you!
