JCP plus 3lb rabbit = .......

[Terranaut]

One fat happy girl.
Sheila refuses to eat while gravid. It might be one of the reasons she has given me 2 clutches both heavy with slugs but regardless last year after I pulled her eggs she was ravinously hungry and hit her first meal like a mack truck. She normaly just takes it from the tongs. This year I anticipated her hunger and bought her a rabbit. So yes I forgive the slugs ;)

Wow, that is one huge meal for a JCP. She certainly looks content!

[Donnie]

Nice lump there, I bet that took a while to swallow

[Terranaut]

She is pushing 8' and yes it took her a bit to pack it back :)

Same snake.

From the size of her you'd think she's an anaconda lol That is a serious lump, how long till next meal now?

[Terranaut]

Probably about 3 weeks up to 4. I wait until I see signs of "hunting" from her. This way she eats on her schedule and not mine.
She is a big girl. Many people will not post pics of adult jungles after they mud out a bit. I don't care. She is a great snake. She was a rescue. Funny how an emotionless dumb animal can be changed so dramaticaly when shown a little love. She struck at her previous owner multiple times but as you can see now she is even kid friendly and has done a school show with me. Kids flip when she climbs across them from kid to kid. We love her to death.

She looks great!

[KORBIN5895]

I like your style.

[sweatshirt]

Awesome! She's probably content :p

[JWFugle]

beautiful jungle man. whats her girth? cant really tell based on kids size as comparison. cant wait till my sd retic gets in that size range :D

[Terranaut]

I have never measured her girth. After she has digested the rabbit I will weigh her and get some better measurements.

This is her without the lump.( last summer)

She looks alot brighter in those last pics, has she muddied up more or was it because she just laid or something?

[Derek Roddy]

Hey, I know we just PMd but, she looks great in those pictures. Good weight...not too large.
When did you introduce the male?

Terranaut... generally you are a great forum friend, but how the hell can you make a post about your JCP eating a rabbit without feeding photos. That is just rude lol.

[brylecc1989]

Awesome snake, but I agree with Franks.

[Terranaut]

Sorry guys. My phone was on the charger and my camera was in the car. Her mouth was open huge. She honnestly had more trouble figuring out which end to start with than swallowing it.
Thanks for all the comments guys!!

I am loving the JCP'S more and more these days, between the one i held at the last expo i went to, and the pictures of yours :)

[Terranaut]

Carpets are a snake that gets better with age. They calm down without slowing down. As adults they are by far my favorite. Everyone needs a carpet ;)
