Roughly a year ago, I picked up my first blood python, followed closely by an albino/het pair.

They've been eating. (Do _not_ get between a blood python and a warm rat!!)

They've been growing.

They're lookin' good to me!!!

The obligatory "Bucket O' Bloods" shot:

Rambo, my first, was a skinny snake in a pet shop tank a year ago . . . Not any more (with a portrait of our Nation's first president for scale):

And he's still got eyes like gazing balls:

Nemetha is a het. T+ albino with a gentle disposition, who's coloring up very nicely:

She's two years old now:

And classically beautiful:

She came with a male who's still waiting for a good name. "Hunter", maybe?

He's not as bright as some albinos - in fact, he might be what Rambo would look like as a T+ - but I like opening a tub to check out his pastel colors:

Unlike Nemetha and Rambo, though, this guy will only tolerate just so much nonsense:

Before he lets me know, in no uncertain terms, that he's _had_enough_!!!!:

(An interesting shot to try & get, solo - interesting to get that lad back in the tub, too!)

Hope you've enjoyed!

LMAO love that last shot...they all look great!!

Bruce, it looks like they've come along quite well. That last one........call him sparky :D Great shots all.

LOL love the pissed off striking shot!

Thanks, folks!

That last shot was interesting to get - if I touched him, he'd open up on me, but if I stroked him with a stick . . . nothin. So, I'm trying to touch the snake with one hand while holding the camera with the other, and catch him before he shuts his mouth. Then, I had to get him back into the tub. Having left the hook upstairs . . .

~Bruce, who doesn't really know how he avoided getting tagged

Very nice.....name that male Mr T. :yes: I'm postive I like the name...hehe

Thanks, folks!

Just think... the last pic could have been of some REAL blood :lmao:


Very nice snakes- I esp like the mouthy one!!

~Beth

Very nice Bruce. Your Het Albino girl looks almost identical to mine. I thought maybe you stole mine, but your's is 1 year older, so that wasn't possible. LOL.

Small pic.

Gorgeous Bloods! I love the pics.

Thanks, Guys!

Beth, I don't know how I managed not to get nailed - that little buzzsaw has gone off before, but he's got _lousy_ aim if it's not a rat. I've _never_ been tagged by him, unlike a couple of my bloods, my male jungle carpet, my Biak chondro . . . .

Tim, that's a good lookin' blood! I like the melty stripe action she's got goin' on.

Cute name suggestion, Frank - not much of a mohawk, though...
