I want a blood python, but i’m not sure I sould get one. I have kept a king snake, garter snake, blue belly lizards, and also a lepord gecko. I’m interested in a blood python. I’d like to ask your opinions on what is the frendliest/coolest looking species under 5 feet? What size cage would the particular species (in gallons please) need?Thanks for your input.

Either bloods or borneos are good. You get the benefit of a big python without the fear for your life. From what I know of them, which is not nearly as much as some on this forum, they are hardy if you pay attention to their needs (see the NERD and VPI etc. care sheets), they are hardy and they stay a reasonable size. I have retics which NY has outlawed and I love them but bloods seem like a good package - manageable size and great colors. If you like pythons and you're not going to go with a Ball, a Blood python seems like a great choice. There's plenty of information on the web to get you off to a good start.
