Hello I'm Holly, I reside in Seattle WA. I'm a college student studying Criminal Law and I also have a 3 year old son, Enzo. Frankly I'm so new to the whole snake biz that I haven't even bought mine yet! I'm far too picky so right now I only have the tank set up.
Mostly why I'm introducing myself is I'm looking for the perfect Bloodred snake. I've talked to a few people and have found that Old School Bloodreds(that's my favorite color) hardly exist these days. I also like the Cayenne Fire(sp?) but it's not really in budget to drop hundreds of dollars on one. I know it's borderline impossible to look at a hatchling and determine what they will look like as adults BUT, if anyone does know of a breeder who breeds Bloodreds well, it would be so appreciated.
My ideal snake color(I'm no pro so excuse me while I don't know the specifics or correct terms,) is that deep blood red color(obviously lol) but I have seen some turn out to be more yellow or orange and that's not what I'm looking for. I've also seen some turn our to be a "dried blood" brownish color(I don't really like that either.) I just like the solid beautiful red. So if anyone knows someone who is breeding something like that and could point me in the direction for my first snake, that would be awesome.
Thank you so much!
 
Hello and welcome!
There are still one or two members on here working with old school bloodreds but I can't remember who off hand. I'll think about it and get back to you. Also in the for sale section on here, the member gelshark had a gorgeous adult male blood like you are looking for. I was very tempted myself. I haven't looked at the ad in awhile, so I don't know if he is still available or not.
 
Awesome thank you for the advice and I would love to hear back from you about who still works with them!
 
Well here is the ad I was talking about, you'll have to ask if he is still available.

An adult is going to cost more but if you are really set on getting one that looks a certain way, I'd recommend getting an adult, so you know it's going to look the way you want. A breeder can give you a very educated guess on a baby but could still be wrong on the adult coloration.
