These guys are fun to keep, though they can be quite aggressive. I have worked with some "docile" bloods, but I always consider them to be unpredictable. They can strike with such force that they "jump" right off the ground at you, launching their entire bodies into the air. And they aim for the face!

And a black headed male. He's my nicest looking blood and also my meanest. The guy holding this python was so nervous, he almost dropped him. What a wuss! He's just a baby:

Thanks for teasing us all with your fabulous exotics trendkill. I've only just started keeping snakes and I've learnt heaps about Aussie pythons but know very little about all the amazing species outside Australia. Keep them coming please!
 
Thanks guys! They're not for everyone, but I think they're stunning. :)

They look great, How big do they get when full grown?

They are a short python, usually topping out at 1.2 - 1.8 meters in length. Males are smaller than females. They're EXTREMELY thick-bodied however, and adults can weigh up to 30 lbs (13.6 kilograms) and will eat jumbo sized rats or rabbits.

nice critters you have there Trendkill.

Thanks! They naturally show a bit of spine on their backs.. if they aren't showing some back bone, that means they need to go on a diet, lol. These guys are easy to over-feed and unfortunately many of the captive specimens I see are obese.
