How to Care for Blood Pythons : Blood Python Behavior

[PurpleLashess]

He keeps calling them ball python. :)

@Cullen612 ; please don't get your 9year old a python or boa of any sort. I would definately suggest a corn or a king snake though c: i don't even trust my eleven year old sister with my ball python, because they could unintentionally hurt eachother so... Until he is in his teens atleast i would say keep your son with the corns, kings, and milk snakes. Pythons and boas take way to much care and you will then end up being the one taking care of the snake, especially when it gets to be 4 or 5 fee

is a blood python a good starter snake for a 9 year old or a ball python ???

[TheIceclopsCave]

@Cullen612 Blood pythons are definitely not a good starter snake, especially for a  9 year old. Get him a Ball python or a Cornsnake.

That's a REALLY ugly shirt that guys wearing the damn thing was distracting me from the video.

Funny thing is I'am getting more info from reading the comments below than I'am watching this video PMSL.

In my opinion, while the snake is a baby you should get them out and handle them when they're being aggressive if they're always aggressive. However, I sometimes think that the snake learning that you will leave them alone if they hiss or bite can sometimes be false. I think this view has to be taken in to consideration and used in moderation.

[Jamie12823]

For example: Baby blood python hisses and strikes because it is scared... Pick it up and get them used to it... 13ft Afrock is having a bad day for some reason... Now who's going to pick that up? My point is, it's ok to leave the snake alone sometimes. You don't want to cause too much stress either.

Yeah, bloods are going to hiss and puff and probably bite. If you put them back in their enclosure, they learn that hissing/puffing/biting will get you to put them back, which is what they want. You have to keep handling them (wear a glove if you're scared of a tag, but if you're scared of a tag you probably shouldn't have gotten a short tail in the first place).

[15HeavyMetalHead333]

when he hisses u gotta pick him up and hold him anyway. or hell never get tame

[azemiopsfeae]

When holding bloods/short-tails, it's best to support the back 2/3 of it's body. Handling by the head can/will lead to you getting bit. plus it makes the snake feel insecure.

[hermtito]

uuuuu... u called the blood a ball...lol.

[pepe4330]

please stop making videos your just stupid do u kno how many herps you prolly killed juss cuz of ur dumbness??

[piethawn]

that species is Python curtus brietensteini.... that is a borneo short tail.... only brongersmai are referred to as bloods... and this guy sounds like an idiot.... every idiot has a you tube show.........

[totalwombatfan]

That's what I thought too, at first, but looking closer, I think it is a brongersmai.

But you're right, he doesn't know what he's talking about.

[mrwalkerbx]

i have a question is it ok to keep my blood python with my 2 ball python in the same tank?

[heffylumpz]

no not the best idea.....First of all you never want to house snakes together unless breeding and stuff like that. Due to fighting and hissing ect... also it will probably cause stress on the snakes because the fact that they share the some enclosure and there are 2 different species in there. and the last reason is because they are different species so you never know what could happend because of the temparature and humidity. So house them individually ~ohh ya check our vid :P

[piethawn]

that is not a Sumatran!!!  Even if it was a black sumatran it would not be a blood python...Blood python only refers to the subspecies python curtus brongersmai...recently changed to Python brongersmai...I've been breeding this species for years

[ChondroHead]

Looks like a Borneo Blood to me

[piethawn]

that's not a blood python.....but a short tailed python....bloods are in the brongersmai sub species only

[DaBoaDude]

you have it the oppisite way. thats a sumatran red blood python that he's handling

[piethawn]

no that is not a red blood. you have no idea what ur talking about

[totalwombatfan]

Bloods are a type of short-tail python. So are Sumatras and Borneos, but the one he has I think is a Blood.

[nancynickeson]
