r/BloodPythons

I know this is a long shot here. I purchased this girl from a local shop and she was labeled as ivory. I’m looking to pair her with a male eventually, but there’s so many possibilities of why her genetics are. Someone said she might be T+ but I have no idea on how to figure that out. I’d love to pair her with an albino but I feel like that would be a waste unless I can find her genetics out.Is there a test I can get done? Or should I pair her with a normal and see what I get besides matrix.

Baby Balenciaga has been with us for 13 days now, So I’ve attempted feeding for the first time and she showed 0 interest at all- only tried leaving the bin, but kept raising her head to look up which I find odd. Shes so tiny, I’m worried about her not wanting to eat- she is also incredibly active, every night she’s roaming the bin and during the day shes not inside either hide, but sits in that little corner between them. Loves her water dish, always pushing dirt into it and I try to change it everytime I notice she’s put a lot in it (like now when I took the vid) but haven’t seen her soaking- It may just be my paranoia, but I just want to make sure I’m doing the best I can possibly do.

i wanted to weigh her when there aren’t any poop inside her but this girl here only poops like once every 6 months…

Got an amazing little baby 9 days ago from an expo, she(supposedly female) is a Bangka blood python- I was told she was 3 months old and read that when they’re this small a bin is best, so I’ve set her up in this. Reptisoil, fake plants, a fully closed hide and one of those half logs, and a temp/humidity monitor. She’s in the reptile room and ambient temp stays between 80-85° inside the tub and outside in the room so I haven’t put any additional heat source, her humidity has been above 80 the entire time and I think I did a good job with making as many air holes as possible for ventilation. I haven’t handled since bringing her from the expo and plan to only after she eats at least twice, I haven’t attempted feeding but I plan to soon once around the two week mark of being with us.

Am I doing it right? Anything I need to be changing? The first 4ish days with us she stayed in the black hide and only poked her head out at night, but now every other night and even during the day sometimes she’s active and moving around the entire tub. I read they’re a very sedentary species, so is something bothering her resulting in the high activity? Thanks for any advice, she’s my first blood out of two boas and 4 ball pythons so I’m hoping my research was sufficient.

Is this a good substrate to use for my blood python or no?
