He said high humidity not that they didn't like humidity

Inaccurate information. Blood pythons require humidity. They like very damp environments.

It's Bo-id not boyd. Also, you should support a blood python's entire body, more so than most snakes.

I hesitate to get involved here: Looks like a Borneo to me, but I have seen red bloods that look darker like that at that size. Too tough to call from here. Most people consider Borneos and Sumatran Short-Tails types of bloods just the same, so if any of what he said was accurate it would still apply- but it isn't, so it doesn't. I can't imagine anyone basing their animal care on one 2-minute video though, so let's stop being overly dramatic. Let's play nice everyone. That's all I'm gonna say.

@Slyther83 I know, and he said Surinam, in south America. Bloods are from SouthEast Asia.

I love burrowing snakes. Kenyan sand boas are my favorite of the burrowers. Technically, you maintain humidity for almost all snake species, but most burrowers tend to live in more arid climates. Arid meaning dry.
