Reptile & Amphibian Forums

i have a bunch of constrictors and i was just wondering if your bloods were as tight skinned and hard as say to a ball or a boa. my blood is definitly heavy and big but he kinda feels like jello? i dunno let me know what you guys think
Thanks,
Jeff

Hey,
Your question is not new to this forum, but one that actually comes up quite a lot by new or would be owners of Bloods and Short-tails. The answer to your question, is Yes! they do have a tendency to feel squishy or soft, but don't be fooled by that, as these guys are by no means soft around the belly. They are known or prone to have a higher fat count for an animal its size, fat to muscle ratio, however, that is not something that has been scientifically quantified. At any rate, these guys can pack a wallop of a bite, and are notorious for having remarkable speed and agility, when they hone in on a prey. So watch your self around the fat boy, he may not like what you're thinking.

BRAVO ANGEL!!!Speaking of fat boy,the very last time I fed my male a live rat.I put in a jumbo,preety big one just to see what he was capable of.He was so fast,the fastest i've ever seen him move.He kept rolli'n and rolli'n cause he could'nt get a good hold on this rat,lucky he didn't get bit.That was the last time I fed him live.It was a rookie move,and preety dumb,since I really love my blood.I was soo suprised I didn't know bloods had it in them and where so fierce.I heard stories but never believed them cause c.b are so puupy dog tame.I never looked at bloods the same after that.By the way my males name is USUL a.k.a BIGGWORM.USUL is Frank Herbert's novel DUNE.It's the Fremen language for the BASE OF THE PILLER.Oh well,sorry for getting carried away.I don't think you guy's really wanted to know that.
