Reptile & Amphibian Forums

I have two questions. Does anybody know what two back issues of Reptiles magazine were about Blood python care and breeding. I'm wanting to track them down. I was also wondering who Marter is? I'm really wanting to track down somebody that produces nice "red" bloods. I'm really wanting to get ahold of a display quality screaming red female. I just haven't a clue as to where to look. As soon as I get some pictures I will post some of my new girl. She is 6ft and just under 40lbs.

that would be kevin Marter. just scroll down through the posts until you come across one that is signed by kmarter. unfortunately, i contacted him about a week ago and he said he has nothing for sale. but that was last week so he may have some stuff.

as far as reptile mag is concerned, the january 03 issue has a decent sized article on taking care of bloods.

Hey,
As Jeff said, he is the man, that is if you're looking for the perfect Red Blood. There is no one else that I know of, that is producing such extraordinary reds like KM. He be's the man!

after visiting kevin's house twice, i can confirm that he is that man also.

as i have two other animals acquired from him...

as far as your reptiles magazines, i have both issues you speak of, and i may even have an extra copy of each issue.

the january issue spoken of in the post above can be found on proexotics site i believe, but is not as in depth as the barker's two part article.

WOW!, Thanks a lot guys, I really appreciate the nice comments. Jan./Feb. 1996 are the 2 issues, good articles, plus great pics.That sounds like a pretty big female,I'd love to see a pic of her. THANKS again guys!
