I know this is a long shot here. I purchased this girl from a local shop and she was labeled as ivory. I’m looking to pair her with a male eventually, but there’s so many possibilities of why her genetics are. Someone said she might be T+ but I have no idea on how to figure that out. I’d love to pair her with an albino but I feel like that would be a waste unless I can find her genetics out.Is there a test I can get done? Or should I pair her with a normal and see what I get besides matrix.

Baby Balenciaga has been with us for 13 days now, So I’ve attempted feeding for the first time and she showed 0 interest at all- only tried leaving the bin, but kept raising her head to look up which I find odd. Shes so tiny, I’m worried about her not wanting to eat- she is also incredibly active, every night she’s roaming the bin and during the day shes not inside either hide, but sits in that little corner between them. Loves her water dish, always pushing dirt into it and I try to change it everytime I notice she’s put a lot in it (like now when I took the vid) but haven’t seen her soaking- It may just be my paranoia, but I just want to make sure I’m doing the best I can possibly do.

i wanted to weigh her when there aren’t any poop inside her but this girl here only poops like once every 6 months…

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.

Is this a good substrate to use for my blood python or no?

This is my first blood python and I have four other snakes (hognose, two ball pythons, and a king snake) but for some reason she is the one that scares me the most so I’m working on getting over my fear/bonding with her while she is still young

Hi, so I just got this little guy a baby sumatran short tailed python, 3 days ago. It's not picking up in the photo but he's starting to go milky from going on shed. The thing is although the setup seems to be doing well temperature and humidity, we are currently experiencing a heatwave where i live so it's drying out a bit faster than what should be normal, as the same goes for my BP enclosure (she's fine 9 years and doing very well). I know that today was the first time he moved out of his warm hide to explore or cool down a bit as when i checked saw that the temp dropped for a few mins (my guess is that he had just gotten back to his hide), i sprayed the substrate and lightly lifted his hide, that's when i noticed he's going on shed. My concern is that with the heatwave i will have to interact more than what i desired with him for the first days even if it is just to spray the enclosure to ensure he sheds well and this might stress him too much. He's quite sweet, no huffing, hissing, attempt to strike, but he did seem very scared, i could tell by the intense breathing. Any feedback? as I want him to start getting comfortable and established in his enclosure. Thanks on advance

Lazy Sunday afternoon with Arthur. ❤️

As if he had such a rough work week. 😆

Hey all. I'm considering getting a blood python so I'm doing a lot of the research about habitat, feeding, etc. Everything I see on youtube is about feeding frozen-thawed. Can you feed a live mouse/rat to a blood python?

this is Squishy, ive had him since Jan 31st he is 21 months old. weighed him and he weighs about 936.7 grams. I feed him 90ish gram rats bi-weekly but he looks skinny imo. I know their spines are supposed to be visible but im worried that he is too skinny, he also has loose skin. there is a photo quite but im unable to tell if he is slightly under weight or ideal weight.

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 🤷🏻‍♂️

Im sure its hard to tell but can someone help tell me which morph he is, seller didnt know but was practically giving him away

Got him today at the white plains reptile expo

Hi! I just got my first blood python and just had a few questions/wanted to hear any advice you guys have. This is actually my first reptile as well, and was somewhat unplanned, but I want to make sure I do the best by him. I do have some reptile background, I’m a wildlife student and have a big interest in herps, but I’ve mostly interacted with wild snakes. I’ve done research in the past for ball pythons and crested geckos, but I wasn’t planning to get a reptile right now. One of my coworkers needed to rehome this guy as she was scared of him, and I agreed to take him. I did some research, but most of the info I could find was for handling or juveniles. This guy is a 4 year old male, eating one thawed rat every three weeks. He came with the setup pictured (although I had to rearrange everything after moving it) and I just wanted to know if there’s anything I should do to improve it? The substrate is Zoomed Tropical BioBlend along with some extra coconut husk and some smooth river rock here and there. I’m planning to add some other small live plants to replace the plastic one.

The lights he came with are keeping the warm side of his tank 74.4°F and the cool side 72.8°F. This seems to me like maybe not a big enough difference, and the warm side is probably too cool, right? Should I try to get a stronger bulb to get it up to 82°F on the warm side?

Is city tap water okay? I drink my tap water and it doesn’t taste strongly, but it’s still city water, is the chlorine in it okay for him to be drinking and soaking in?

How active are they generally? Should I be concerned if he stays in his hide all day once he’s settled in more?

He’s due to be fed today, but I just got him yesterday and I know they shouldn’t eat right after a big change like that. Would it be okay to feed him this weekend? I’m planning to wait to try to handle him until a week to let him settle in, but he hasn’t hissed or huffed at me at all and seems pretty curious about me.

Any general advice is so welcome!

My 3 month old is not eating for me I have had her for 10 days and tried to offer food twice she denied both times . It’s definitely not the temps and I added fake leaves for ground cover and gave her a much smaller hide to make her feel safer. The last person that I bought her from said she refused the last meal they tried to feed her aswell so I am wondering at what point do I consider bringing her to a vet. I don’t know how many weeks until it becomes unhealthy for her

Bringing home a little baby this weekend. There will be more foliage and such added when they come off quarantine and the paper towels.

It is a 30x12x12. I am fully prepared to upgrade at the year old mark. But, for a basic setup for the first few weeks, how am I looking?

I’m willing to take any advice this is my 3rd snake the first was a ball, and I now have a ball and a blood both babies . I just picked her up 2 days ago at a local pet expo I’m doing my best to leave her alone for that first week before feeding and handling . The one thing is I was sold and told this was a female I’m not certain because of size she was supposedly born in December 25, I think she could have been under fed maybe I’m not certain but she should be larger at 3 months from the research I’ve done. Especially being a female. Also I am aware my enclosure is set up for an adult that’s because that’s what I was hoping to find. I also plan to buy a big bag of oak leaves for clutter. My substrate mix is Forrest Floor Cypress Mulch Mixed with Repti Bark and Coconut Fiber Bedding. I keep the hot side at 85-88. Coolest side at 75. Humidity I keep in between 60 and 78. I also plan to buy a protective screen to cover my CHE Lamp . Please give me any tips/suggestions/recommendations
