hi, im new here but ive had my blood for just about 2 years now.he's not aggresive and quite docile. but unfortunetly he dosent seem to have much red on him. he's still orange and tan. im just wondering if he's gonna turn red in his 3rd year or is just going to stay like that. unfortunetly i couldnt see his parents when i bought him. if i can figure out how to put up pictures ill post a few.
ok any info would be nice.
ohh also how do i keep hummidity high in a 19" wide,22" high, and 4 foot long container. right now its about 60% humidity.
thx

Not all blood pythons turn red. The most common color is tan/brown. It is possible to get red/yellow and brown hatchlings out of one clutch. Some specimans show red real early and these appear to be very vibrant as adults. Others start out orangish and turn more red as they age. Usually by Age 3-4 they have shown most of their true color. At least this has been my observation and experiences.

thx for the info.
this is gonna sound dumb but how would i go about putting pictures of my snake up for people can see.
thx

I use damp spagnum moss as a substrate in part of my cage. I make sure it's only slightly damp and I mist with warm water every other day to keep it moist. My bloods love the stuff and spend most of their time in the spagnum. A hide filled with some spagnum or wet paper towel would at least give it a moist place to go to when it needs it.
