As with retics, years back wild caught bloods gave the species a bad rap. However, every snake is an individual with its own personality. Bloods are big, strong constrictors that just are not big in length. They can be very aggressive but this is in response to being scared and feeling threatened. Bloods are shy creatures that hide most of the time. Frequent, proper, gentle handling will usually result in a tame blood. They are firmly ground dwelling snakes and don't like heights. When holding a blood support as much of its body with both hands. In my experience the Borneo Short Tailed Pythons-called "Borneo bloods" are some what more docile than the true red blood pythons and might be a better one to start with. Bill.
