I'm looking to get a big python of some sort, and i've basically narrowed down my search to either a blood or a burmese. (previously, i've stuck with colubrids, and a children's python) i'm aware that most people here are probably partial to burms, but i was wondering if anyone has/had kept a blood also, and could give me a side-by-side comparison of the two. i like the look of bloods, and i also like that they don't get as long, but all the adults i've seen at local shows have looked pretty crappy, so i'm inclined to think they may be somewhat dificult to care for. burms are much more availible, and i've seen a number of quite healthy adults. which do you think would be best for a first "big" snake? i've also been thinking about anacondas... any opinions on those?



thanks-
