Description
The Bangka Blood Python Baby is a captive-bred juvenile from a distinct Indonesian island lineage. This snake is for the intermediate keeper looking for a python with exceptional color potential and a manageable adult size. Since adding it to our catalog in early 2024, it has become one of our most-reordered items, with customers often returning for a second.

Your Questions Answered
How is the temperament of this baby blood python?
As with most juvenile blood pythons, they can be defensive. With calm, consistent, and infrequent handling, they typically settle down well as they grow. Their reputation for being “aggressive” is largely outdated and based on wild-caught imports, not captive-bred animals like this one.
What makes the Bangka locale special?
Blood pythons from Bangka Island are sought after for their color genetics. While babies often show muted tones, they frequently develop into adults with very deep reds, oranges, and rich browns, often with high contrast and clean patterns compared to other locales.
What setup does this baby need?
A 10-20 gallon enclosure with a secure lid is sufficient initially. Provide a humid hide, a water bowl large enough for soaking, and substrate that holds humidity (like cypress mulch or coconut husk). Ambient temperature should have a warm side of 86-88°F and a cool side around 78-80°F.
