Ok, a "Borneo Blood" can be a hybrid P. breitensteinixP.brongersmai, a mislabeled P. brongersmai (aka red blood) since no "bloods" are from Borneo, or a Borneo Short-tailed Python (P. breitensteini) mislabeled as a blood python.

If you are going to see these things, freaking get your information correct! I say something this past weekend sold as an extreme borneo blood that was a hybrid. You want "real" borneos know what makes one. Buyer beware!

Sorry for the rant, but it really rubs me raw.

BTW, the photo is a REAL Borneo Python, P. breitensteini...no artificial fillers or preservatives
