Meet Sheila, my '10 Irian Jaya Carpet Python. Her coloring is more contrasted and brighter gold than the typical IJ. She eats rat pups very well and is as tame as can be. Her line originated the eastern half or New Guinea side of the island. I picked her up along with Mick, my '10 male with future breeding plans when they get older. In the meantime, I will enjoy them as pets like all the rest of my snakes.

Ty guys. Alessia, that was the first thing that caught my attn on Sheila was her high gold and then come to find out it came naturally. That to me is a bonus.

Very nice IJ, can't wait to see her grow and see her colors start to pop.

looking good Gary, my brother is thinking of getting an IJ, any idea when you'll breed them?

Probably in about 2-3 yrs. They're only yearlings so I have a ways to go.
