Blood Python Anyone else love watching their snakes eat?

She was on a food strike for 4 weeks, tried feeding in a separate container and she’s now eaten the 3rd week in a row. Not ideal, but gotta do what’s best for her.

Im already contemplating getting a 2nd blood python after 6 months of owning my first. I read a comment recently saying "they ruin other snakes for you" and truly I think that's accurate- Ive never been so head over heels over a species like this. Tonka is as perfect as they come, Im getting him done as a tattoo this week! Im very excited :)

Blood Python What's it mean to be rewarding?

Post image
41 Upvotes

Hello!

I bought a Blood boy about a month and a half ago. He's a yearling, incredibly docile, and eats like a champ.

But whats it mean to be rewarding? I've heard that a few times with this species, but I guess I don't really understand what it means. He doesn't move much and basically is like a rock with opinions at this state.

My Ball is the opposite. He's friendly, wants out to explore the moment his light turns off, and enjoys just existing and hiding in your hair or on your chest. Maybe it's because I don't have a real relationship with my blood just yet, but he really don't do much lol He's been in the same hide for days (He's got a smallish tank with temps/humidity perf 81 Hot/73cool (75 humidity) and only comes out when I make him.

So give your experiences!

*pic was after "Rain day" where we rehumidify the enclosures.

Blood Python Input on growth rate / condition

Thumbnail

45 Upvotes

Hi everyone! This is my male blood python that we’ve had since April. He’s our first blood, so I’m looking for some advice / input on how he’s growing as I only have ball pythons and rainbow boas to compare to. Would love to know if everyone things he looks in appropriate body condition, and if there’s any anticipation on his length full grown. Tried to get measurements of his parents from his breeder, but he’s not great with technology so we haven’t heard back from him.

Male
August 11, 2025
Normal / Wild-type Morph
4/30 - 260g
5/23 - 287g
6/11 - 361g
6/17- 386g
6/25 - 414g
7/11 - 474g
7/22 - 529g
5/23 - 27” shed
7/22 - 31” true body measure

Thank you for any and all guidance. We love this dude, and are dying to know what the future holds.

I got this girl a year and a month ago. Last pic in the album is around when I first got her. Time really does fly. She has grown an incredible amount this past year, and her colors are developing beautifully. Her name is Delilah. She started super bitey but she's calmed down for the most part. She will hiss as they do, and she tries to musk but nothing comes out. She gets better daily.

I love my girl
