2012 female from Nick Mutton. On day 7, she crawled out of her tank and jumped right into my hands, and then devoured three adult mice. We might be in love.
I can't decide on a name...

thats a good looking granite you have there mate
i really like the colours on that one
imo you should try and get it crossed over onto rats,as it takes a lot of mice to feed a full grown adult carpet,sometimes they take that much a liking to mice,its a task to get them crossed over,i offer them rats straight from the egg

Thanks, shauny. Her feeding card shows mostly f/t jumbo mice with a sprinkling of live rat. I just wanted her first meal to go smooth, house rules start tomorrow. ;)

i understand and agree with you,on getting them feeding regular on what their previous owner fed them,before trying something new.....
thats a really good point mate

. . .but does it match the drapes? :D
Silliness aside, that's a nice specimen you've got there.

Girly didn't hesitate to accept her first f/t rat yesterday. Can't wait for her first shed! I will pass along your kind remarks, she definitely deserves it. :)

Also, I'd like to open up the conversation to granite carpets and inbreeding. Before buying this girl, Mutton informed me that IJ granites have been horribly inbred over the years and have fairly severe breeding problems because of it. Apparently, my girl's clutch is 20% outcrossed while Nicks' 2014 clutches will be around 60%. I had not heard about granite inbreeding problems before talking to Inland Reptile, and I still can't find a single search result on the matter.

Too kind! I will pass along your comments to Ms. Fancy Pants. She's easily the sweetest snake I've met. Inquisitive too. If she's awake and I open her cage, she'll immediately pop her head out and come hang with the fam. <3
