Thanks a bunch for your input! I've read references to bloods being a bit more likely to huff and chuff. I've read so many general guides and caresheets that I wanted to know a bit more of what people have actually experienced with their animals. Your post gives me hope that I'll be able to understand blood body language as easily as I can predict my Boa's.

I've seen such a mix in color variation in bloods, that's part of why I find them so fascinating. Looking through VPI's galleries always leaves me so dazzled. So many have those lovely charcoal heads, but others tend toward cream or red tops. It makes me excited to do a lecture on wild morphological variety and using this as a base for further domestic controlled breeding for desirable pet traits.

Thanks again!
