Blood Pythons - Misunderstood GEMS! BubbleGum4

[@akamaddog7161]

Thank you so much for this. Short tailed pythons are hands down my favorite snakes. And while I can appreciate all the morphs, normals I find to be the prettiest. I literally haven’t owned a reptile in 40 years and never a snake. I just enjoy the way you interact with your animals and speak to us. Thank you again.

[@NewEnglandReptile]

Very kind. Thank you. K

[@Crafty.Goth.Creations]

The Batiks are incredible. As a quilter, I have used Batik fabrics oodles of times. These truly fit the definition of the word. In case you didn't know, the etymology of the word "Batik" is: Batik is a wax-resist dyeing technique that originated in Indonesia, specifically on the island of Java. The word "Batik" comes from a Malay word that means "to draw with a broken dot or line."

[@JohnAvillaHerpetocultural]

That’s super cool. Thanks for the etymology.

[@NewEnglandReptile]

I had zero idea of its meaning. Thank uuu. K

[@heashburn6573]

I never yawn. I love your excitement. I love your energy and most of all I love and value your empathy for living things. 💜

[@Cath-Dad]

Just reading this made me yawn just now lol

[@hillaryupperman6935]

I LOVE blood pythons. My baby was so defensive when he arrived. Your videos helped me learn to understand his behavior and how to handle him. He loves me now.

[@CrazyArtLady]

Hey guys, remember to subscribe, like the video, and comment. Help Kevin keep motivated to keep posting. I love watching him for his love of animals and wealth of knowledge. His personality pulls u in. Let's let him know he doesn't need special edits to entertain us.

[@NewEnglandReptile]

Very kind, I really do Need the interest to Keep Doing these as it is painfully slow to Grow this channel. I appreciate you taking the time to say that! K

[@catherinehubbard1167]

What gorgeous animals! That “Batik” one with the complicated tapestry of rich warm colors and dark head was especially stunning, but all of them were beautiful. I also like the shape of their bodies better than that of ball pythons, which look odd to me with their bulky bodies and relatively small heads. I don’t keep reptiles, but I admire the people who are leading the hobby and introducing new genes, species, and care knowledge as well as expanding captive bred animals and easing wild collection pressure. Thanks for making this video. I hope reptile keepers pay attention and some attention is spared from the focus on ball pythons. Other species like this have so much potential.

[@NewEnglandReptile]

Thank you. Appreciate your interest. K

[@iwashguineapigsx3355]

Thanks for the glimpse in your retile world. And also for spilling blood while showing off your bloods. They are all just gorgeous! ❤

[@loreneobergfell5507]

Short tailed pythons are definitely overlooked. I absolutely LOVE mine.

[@erikgale7161]

I could watch Kevin running around showing off any of his animals and talking about their specifics for hours

[@jeremyJeremy-i3e]

They are really gorgeous animals. I remember when imports were only available back in the 90’s and nobody messed with them. I am super happy to see how the blood python market evolved. Good Job Kevin! Please keep videos coming, I really enjoy watching and learning from them.

[@robintodd2448]

I enjoy the knowledge that you give to all of us so no yawning on my part. Thanks Kevin for letting us see Snarfle’s a few days back. Please let him know that his googly eyes and sweet smile makes him very handsome which explains why his ladies are always happy to see him. Love your new style of videos ❤

[@NewEnglandReptile]

Thank you. K

[@palmerfamily7073]

Kevin I just want to say thank you , my daughter and I love the channel . Most people say Brian B got them into this , you got us back into reptiles. Keep up everything you do !!

[@NewEnglandReptile]

That is awesome! K

[@lizbradbury3528]

Definitely never yawn when I watch your videos! I’m actually really enjoying the bubblegum videos. 😊

[@michaelmaimone13]

Beautiful blood pythons and we love the bubblegum vibes thanks Kevin for sharing

[@Dovietail]

My shorttails are naturally shy, but they have learned to LOVE basking in the sun in my window - as long as I am nearby to keep them safe. I have a massive female that I use for programs who has never so much as hissed since she got past her initial "wee noodle with a head" phase.

[@mkwells123]

Bloods are so under appreciated and misunderstood. They all seem to have their own personalities. I love seeing your passion for these animals!

[@NewEnglandReptile]

Thank you. K

[@eisangel]

I love your videos. I always learn something new. Please don’t stop. I can listen to you for hours and am never bored

[@RonnN-gf8tm]

Right on!! Hey Kevin hope you enjoy the weekend.. Awesome video.

[@scobo14]

Dude! I really appreciate you taking the time out to film things and share them!

[@VyxenViolets]

I finally got my very first ball python today!! I go to pick him up tomorrow, He's a Black Pastel Yellowbelly morph and he is a GORGEOUS little boy and I'm so incredibly excited to have him in my care. I already have his enclosure all set up, and thanks to you (and other channels like snake discovery of course) I finally convinced my parents to let me get one! My mom is even going to help me take care of him! I'm so excited, and Incredibly grateful to have the ability to research and learn through people like you!!!

[@JohnAvillaHerpetocultural]

Rad! Welcome to the club! Just keep in mind, it’s a hobby that leads to a lot of escalation. I said for decades that I had no interest in giant snakes aaaaaand now I am raising a Burmese python 😂 It starts with ball pythons and ends with you wondering how to go about acquiring a T-rex 😂

[@NewEnglandReptile]

That’s awesome, love your true excitement! K

[@VyxenViolets]

@@JohnAvillaHerpetocultural oh don't misunderstand, if I had the financial means and the space for a Burmese I would ABSOLUTELY have one. I love those beauties. Maybe even a few retics!

[@JohnAvillaHerpetocultural]

@@VyxenViolets God how I wish I could have retics. Here in Massachusetts there is a law against almost everything. It’s a miracle I am able to keep Burmese pythons here. Luckily New England Reptile Distributors is a couple hours from me. They have some really sweet retics and they do tours.

[@VyxenViolets]

@@JohnAvillaHerpetocultural Hey i'm from Mass too! I plan on getting whatever liscence(s) necessary in the future to be able to take care of all kinds of snakes, including venomous ones once i get properly trained how to handle them and get a few years experience dealing with them!

[@miparo6088]

You never make me yawn and seeing you interact with your snakes is a quarantined way to bring a smile on my face. Thanks for doing what you do!

[@highjinx6519]

FYI Autocorrect screwed you if you meant guaranteed.

[@NewEnglandReptile]

You are welcome. K

[@cmcreptiles2146]

Love the bubble gum videos. Watching one of the old videos on bloods convinced me into purchasing a T- albino blood from you back in 2018. One of my favorite animals. Thank you for everything you do for this wonderful reptile world.

[@NewEnglandReptile]

Very kind. Thank you. K

[@HoboiousMojoious]

I have been in love with short tails and blood Pythons! Thank you for sharing these wonderful critter🥰

[@carolcox6408]

I had overlooked blood pythons, Kevin, but not anymore! The mag pie, batik, albino, each more interesting than the last snake. Thank you for sharing them with us.

[@Dovietail]

Blood pythons are the apartment dwellers' BIG SNAKE. They are WONDERFUL - they are puppy dog tame and trusting as adults if handled regularly and kindly. 😁🥰😍

[@imurhcklbry]

Kevin, this was an awesome video. I really like the bubblegum series! I am in Montana, and I've noticed there is no one selling bloods at our local expos. I've got a giant female blood, so I got a male goldeneye slackline from Gobbles. He is gorgeous, and I can't wait to pair them! ~Lynn, Passion4Pythons 💜🖤💜💜

[@357mikec]

Bloods have been on my bucket list since I got my first snake

[@Lovell93]

We love all the videos of all the different snakes! I personally enjoy and love all snakes, no matter the species, so I'm always down for videos like this!

[@NewEnglandReptile]

Same here! K

[@misskacy5832]

Wow! All of them were just incredibly beautiful 🤯😍 I also want to tell you that bubblegum video or not, I find your videos not only informative but entertaining. I truly hope you get an explosion of subscribers in the near future. Not only do you have a lot to offer to the world, but you are incredibly deserving of the benefits that come along with that. IMO and others' opinions as well, I'm sure. Best bubblegum video producer yet😆👍

[@SqueezyQueen]

That golden eye is a Absolute stunner!!! Great blood babies! T neg have always been my favorite blood morphs! Thanks for another great video ❤

[@karyannfontaine8757]

I am more than interested. I love Blood Pythons and have a full grown male and a female Marter . The male came from a Golden Eye sire and his mother is a pure bred Marter. The young female is getting some amazing colour as is the older male. I also keep a Charley, who is a Python Curtis who is a 2018. My males, Benedictine and Charley always were and are very sweet natured. The younger females, the Blood gave herself the name of Bloody Mary and the Black counterpart, "Slasher", will calm down when they realize I will not eat them. I love these unique and wonderful snakes. Very important to make them feel secure, by supporting their body when held. They are my favourite snakes. Thank you Kevin for featuring them. It takes monsters to kill such magnificent snakes for their skins.

[@NewEnglandReptile]

The skin thing is just insane. K

[@kismitj]

gorgeous snakes, love their heads and how heavy bodied they are.

[@zyephenz8466]

Awesome stuff. I love Blood Pythons, and I kinda want one, but... they also kind of intimidate me! I find them harder to read than my boas. Great vid, Kevin! Show some beautiful boas next!

[@YTTeezy]

Id love to see a video like this on Amazon Tree Boas, love the raw not super edited videos like this!

[@Blueboy57]

Love seeing bloods and STPs on your channel. Definitely my favorite species. Building my relationship with my blood python has been such a rewarding experience. Balls are easy. I had to EARN the respect/trust of my blood. And i have you to thank for the lift and turn method and building "threads of trust". Keep up the great work.

[@NewEnglandReptile]

Love to hear this! K

[@china_sickness7005]

The golden eyes are absolutely gorgeous. If I ever get a blood python, that is definitely the morph I’ll be looking for

[@mayakoyama9130]

I love blood pythons, T- albinos are definitely my favorite! Your albinos are awesome.

[@celtzen]

Thank you for showing those off! Blood Pythons are one of my favourite species - only reason I haven't seriously looked into getting one is maintaining humidity with good airflow - way too dry where I live even with room humidifiers. Such beautiful stocky snakes that solid compact build :-) same reason I love Rhinos and Gaboons. Take care up there and have a great week!

[@panda18770]

Beautiful snakes! The caramel colors on the last 2 to 3 snakes were absolutely amazing!!!

[@JackieBinkley-l1w]

Beautiful ❤ I didn't know very much about Blood Pythons - when you mentioned that they are not money makers it probably explains why. I am learning so much from these vids. Bone structure, behaviour, husbandry.. Feed me! Feed me! P.S only yawning from your soothing voice and being so relaxed. Thanks Kevin. Greatest appreciation 😊

[@NewEnglandReptile]

You are quite kind. Thank you. K “soothing voice”. Hmmmmm

[@ingeniouspixie]

You've added another one to my list of snakes "I need to adopt"!! 😍🤩

Excellent Kevin! Blood pythons are gorgeous!

[@C-Serpents-Exotic-Snakes]

Great video Kevin! Man some of those strikes though 😅 you got some super stunning bloods there!! I got a baby blood python brongersmai 2 months ago and it’s chill as a cucumber so far so I’m digging these videos and learning a lot about them 👍

[@gerald4055]

I really like your new format, it’s great! Those are stunning bloods😍.

[@NewEnglandReptile]

Glad you like them! K

[@J-_-]

Me earlier on in the video: OMG, that's the most beautiful / insane blood python I've ever seen! Me later in the later: OMG, that's the most beautiful / insane blood python I've ever seen! You have an amazing collection Kevin but it warms my heart to know you love them all because you love animals like I do.

[@NewEnglandReptile]

Yes I love love animals. Thank you. K

[@87PontiacGP]

Keep going, Kevin. You're a huge benefit to not only this hobby, but for animal keeping as a whole. Love your videos, no matter what form they take. Blood pythons are great, love my little one i have to death. That new albino line looks killer as well! I need more bloods in my life. They really have made me much more of a blood guy. Awesome examples!

[@NewEnglandReptile]

Very kind. K

I love hearing you laugh at the babies like everything they do is adorable. It brightens my day! Thank you ❤

[@ifishdoyou]

Thank you so much for the one bubble gum video I couldn't wait for you to make🤩🤩🤩 Can't believe the personal "blood sacrifices" you were willing to make to give us an up-close-and-personal view of these gorgeous snakes!

[@NewEnglandReptile]

Haaaa. Yes a bit of blood playing with bloods is not uncommon. K

[@paint.droplets2961]

I often ramble about how I love snakes so I always thoroughly enjoy listening to you do the same :) it makes me very happy

[@laurieolson8533]

Great video on your beautiful snakes! Thanks for sharing!

[@mk_cichlids]

I got a baby red blood many years ago. He was already a strong feeder but was very cranky at first. I just fed normally and handled him for about 10-15 minutes a day when I got home from work. Within two weeks, that aggression disappeared completely! He would still do the typical blood python huffing and puffing when you first picked him up, but he was always tame after that. I highly recommend them as pets, especially if you have any experience with other snakes that might have a little attitude.

[@NewEnglandReptile]

Well said! K

[@robertm5067]

I got my first blood python from you guys a few years ago. He’s my favorite to work with

[@NewEnglandReptile]

I’d say that is exactly what is happening. K

[@CrazyArtLady]

Love your videos, Bubblegum or not. The best part of any of your videos are u, Kevin. Your personality and love for snakes is the secret ingredient. I love learning all about them. It's pretty amazing when a person who has a fear of snakes loves to learn all about them, husbandry, illness, breeding, and simple info because you make it interesting. I know my fears are unrealistic yet the phobia is real. As a child of around 4 my cousins had milk & corn snakes. The cousins held me down & put them on me and then would agitate the snake to bite me. Think I was only bit once or twice but it caused a life long phobia. I came across your videos over the summer and decided to watch in hopes of confronting my fears. In the past I couldn't even stand to watch a snake on TV, it would typically result in nightmares more often than not. I thought it was getting a lot better, but then I freaked out when there was a garter snake under my car this fall. So I'm not as far along as I'd like to be, but one day, hopefully, someone like yourself will help me build some threads of trust and I can completely overcome this ignorant phobia. Keep up the great work, keep posting. Your love for reptiles and animals is refreshing!

[@NewEnglandReptile]

This is very interesting, your interest but fear. I appreciate you educating yourself to overcome that!! When you finally get there you are going to be like….. I was afraid of this??? We may hype up Fear in our minds that we later find was never the substance of nightmares! Keep it up! K
