Hi all,

So I'm Herpo, some of you may know me from forums such as BP.net and APS. I'm not new to the hobby, but at not even a year in, I am no expert by any means. I join with my 10 month old mixed carpet python (50% Jungle, 35% Coastal and 15% Murray Darling), Popeye.

His temperament is amazing, as is his feeding response, and at 376g, he is powering through 14 day old quail and weaner rats. His temperament is so good, infact, that he recently visited my brother and sisters school to say hello to the kids and teachers. His good nature was further displayed as around 60 children, probably more, pet him, and he never once attempted to bite, and wasn't stressed at all.

I look forward to growing as a keeper and meeting you all, and hopefully will become a part of the community. Here are some pictures of Popeye.

Cheers,
Herpo

Hi Herpo, I recognise you from APS. Good to see another fellow Aussie join the forums!

Thats a sweet carpet you got there, mutts need to get more appreciation. ;)

They do! We have to manage their genes, and I doubt I'll breed him, but he makes a great pet. I'll be getting a caramel coastal carpet sometime in future.

That would be awesome Herpo, not much on the internet about how Carpets grow.
