How It Compares
| Feature | Ivory Blood Python (#112324-01) | Competitor A: Standard Blood Python | Competitor B: “Premium” Ivory Morph |
|---|---|---|---|
| Morph Purity & Color | Consistent ivory/white coloration, no muddy patterning. | Wild-type red/brown coloration. | Often marketed as ivory but can show yellow tinges. |
| Build & Condition | Solid build quality. We’ve found no visible tooling marks or rough edges on the units we inspect. | Variable; depends heavily on breeder. | Generally good, but often at a 50-70% higher price point. |
| Feeding Reliability | Established F/T feeder. Critical for a smooth start. | May be offered as “feeding on live,” requiring conversion. | Usually F/T, but not always guaranteed. |
| Seller Reputation | From our reliable partner with consistently positive feedback. We vet them personally. | Widely available from many sources of unknown quality. | Often from high-volume online auctions with less direct oversight. |
| Value | Strong middle-ground: premium morph traits without the extreme markup. | Lower initial cost, but lacks the unique ivory aesthetic. | Highest cost, with diminishing returns on actual quality. |
Stand-Out Features
This isn’t just another python. Having personally unboxed and inspected this specific line, the first thing you notice is the clean presentation. The ivory morph eliminates the typical bold reds and browns of a standard Blood Python, replacing them with a stunning spectrum of creams, whites, and very light pastel tones. It’s a striking animal that maintains the powerful, heavy-bodied look Blood Pythons are known for, but in a radically different palette. The build on these is consistently good—we don’t see the spinal kinks or minor scale issues that can sometimes pop up with other morphs. They arrive alert, well-hydrated, and ready for their new home, which is a big part of why our customers report such high satisfaction.
Strengths and Weaknesses
✅ Pros:
- Exceptional Coloration: The ivory gene delivers a clean, eye-catching snake that stands out in any collection.
- Proven Reliability: Based on both manufacturer specs and the feedback from our first buyers, this animal has a strong track record. Our 4.8/5 customer satisfaction score across the initial five sales speaks to trouble-free arrivals and transitions.
- Established Feeder: Starting with a juvenile already taking frozen/thawed rodents is a massive advantage and reduces beginner stress significantly.
- Solid Build Quality: In our handling, the physical condition is excellent. No visible tooling marks, rough edges, or congenital issues on the specimens we’ve checked.
- Strong Demand & Availability: We keep 20+ in stock at all times because backorders kill us on this one. That high turnover means you’re getting a fresh, recently arrived animal, not one that’s been sitting in a holding tub for months.
❌ Cons:
- Species-Specific Temperament: Blood Pythons, including ivories, can be defensive as juveniles. They are not always a “lap snake” and require calm, confident handling.
- Husbandry Requirements: They need high humidity and precise thermal gradients. This isn’t a “set it and forget it” species like a corn snake.
- Adult Size & Space: While not gigantic, a 4-6 foot, heavily-bodied python needs a substantial, secure enclosure as an adult.
Best For
Buy if: You’re an intermediate keeper looking for a visually stunning, captive-bred python, or a committed beginner who has done their homework on Blood Python care. You value a proven feeder and solid genetics from a transparent source. You want a morph that’s impressive but not at the very top of the price pyramid.
Skip if: You are an absolute first-time snake owner looking for the most forgiving pet. You are on a very tight budget that doesn’t account for a quality PVC enclosure and humidity systems. You want a snake solely for frequent, casual handling sessions.
Your Questions Answered
Is this a good snake for a beginner?
It can be for the right beginner. Blood Pythons require more specific humidity and temperature control than many common starter snakes. Their temperament is also more defensive as juveniles. If you are a beginner who has thoroughly researched the species and are prepared for its needs, this captive-bred, established feeder is an excellent choice. If you’re looking for the absolute easiest first snake, a corn snake or ball python might be a better starting point.
How is the temperament on these ivory morphs?
In our experience handling them, they are typical for well-started, captive-bred Blood Pythons. Juveniles can be nervous and may hiss or strike defensively when first approached. With calm, consistent, and infrequent handling sessions (after a proper settling-in period), they usually calm down considerably. They are not inherently aggressive, but they are a more defensive species than many others.
What size enclosure does it need now and as an adult?
For this juvenile, a 10-20 gallon long enclosure or a similarly sized plastic tub is sufficient for the first several months. As an adult, plan for a minimum of a 4’x2’x2′ (120 gallon) front-opening enclosure. Blood Pythons are heavy-bodied and terrestrial, so floor space is more important than height. A secure locking mechanism is non-negotiable.
What are you feeding it, and how often?
This animal is established on frozen/thawed rodents. For a juvenile of this size (approx. 1.1 oz), we recommend an appropriately sized fuzzy mouse every 7-10 days. Always feed inside the enclosure using tongs, and do not handle for at least 48 hours after a successful meal to allow for digestion.
Is the ivory color stable as it ages?
Yes, the ivory morph is a genetic trait. While the exact shade may intensify or develop slightly more creamy tones with age, it will not revert to the standard wild-type red and brown coloration. You are getting a permanently light-colored snake.
