Borneo Pythons

I am looking for a medium sized python that would make an interesting captive. I like the look of the heads on blood and borneo pythons but it sounds like the blood pythons can get fairly large? I'm looking for something that would be comfortable in a 4x2x1 enclosure as anything larger eats up too much real estate. Anyone with experience with them care to comment on pros/cons and if you're enjoying them?

Most bloods, Borneos and Sumatran Short tails (black bloods) will be perfectly fine in a 4' x 2' enclosure. There are rarely some bloods that might outgrow that, but not often. They aren't active and don't require a large amount of space. If you were concerned mostly about space, a male would be a better choice. Also, the black bloods are the smallest of the group. I have those and red bloods, ball pythons and a pair of Dumerils. I've had my oldest pair of bloods since 2002 and the bloods are definitely my favorites. They seem more aware and watch you more than the ball pythons do.

I guess it would also depend on what kind of personality you're looking for. They tend to be quite easy to handle outside their cages as adults, though they are quite vocal and make hissing/ huffing sounds when being handled. They are generally pretty easy to read, as far as snakes go.

I love bloods and STPs. As April already mentioned a male of any of the three species would fit comfortably in an enclosure that size. My heart belongs to the Sumatran Short Tail, no doubt! I have 1.3 and adore them and their behaviors. They are the smallest of the taxon.
