Right now she is in a bin with 82 degrees ambient.....After she is fed I will add a hot spot of 88-90.

I keep mine at an ambient temp of 80-82 with the hot spot of 88 to about 90. Are you only going to provide the hot spot after a meal?

She has a hide with sphagum moss and a dry hide.Newspaper substrate.

The sphagnum moss is moistened? Does she have a water bowl?

I wont be feeding her for at least a week or two, after she sheds and settles in.

Once she sheds she should be good to go on feeding. I've picked up five 2010 baby bloods over the past month and a half and all of them have fed as soon as they were offered food, one just a couple of hours after being brought home.

From what I understand there are three species of blood.Malaysian, Borneo and Sumatran...Is this correct?
I was told she was Malaysian (the fiestier python of course)


Actually, there are three species of the short tailed python: blood pythons (from Malaysia, Thailand and one side of the island of Sumatra), Sumatran short tailed pythons (often called black short tails or black bloods) that are found on the other side of Sumatra and then the Borneo short tails.

There are also populations of each on some of the smaller islands in the area.
