Hi guys, new to this forum but not new to snakes..

I am getting an adult borneo blood python (that's what the

gentleman said it was) and just looking for some handling tips.

From what I have read, it's best to let them settle in for

weeks before really trying to handle a lot? The man says he

is handlable and tame, but we'll see!

I've read they do spray feces, is there anything to look out

for or watch for before this happens? Is it just the fact

that the bloods don't like to be held for long periods?

I know to really support the body and avoid holding and

restraining the head but if anyone has any other tips that

would be great!

Also, does the girth rule apply here? I can feed my largest

adult boas rabbits, will bloods eat those as well or do they

mainly stick to rats? Is one jumbo typically enough for

an adult or because of the girth do they require more than one?

Thanks, I'm a little nervous but very excited!

I'll post some pics once I've gotten him!
