[MoreliAddict]

Hi all!

I would like you to meet my pet (no plans for breeding) Spot.

Let me know what you think of him ;)

Thanks for looking!

I love his blue tongue! I really like the pattern on him. Is he a baby or an adult?

[Swany]

Wow hes lovely :-) How big, and how old is he ?

[shaunyboy]

he's a very nice looking granite mate

his colours are great

who bred this guy ?

cheers shaun

[MoreliAddict]

Thanks for the kind responses

Spot is a male, Irian Jaya, hatched June 2010 (a year and a half old). He's maybe 2.5-3 feet and i'm hoping he reaches 5.5-6 feet

[Norm66]

Wow, very pretty. His pattern reminds me of the new US military 'digital' camouflage for some reason.

[MoreliAddict]

^ahahah good call! I can see that

and thank you!

[millertime89]

When I get into carpets, I think we'll have to set up a breeding loan, he's stunning.

[Hillsberry]

Wow he is outstanding! :blink:

[Kayla90]

My honest first statement to his first pictures. "OH he's so cute!"
LMAO I honestly looove Carpet faces.. I can never refuse mine ... I wish I could hold them more often .. :(

[millertime89]

after I get my sd retics that I want I've got to snag a few carpets.

[MoreliAddict]

thanks all for the kind responses

i'll keep everyone up to date with Spot in the future

[marvelfreak]

Beautiful Granite. Just be careful Carpets are very addictive.

[UwabamiReptiles]

Granites are beautiful, I can't wait til I can add one to the collection. I look forward to seeing updates.

[Freebody]

Looking good mate! i like the pure irian jaya granites best, Seen a couple this year, but mixed with coastal now... dont ask me why lol

[MoreliAddict]

Thank you!

I am not a fan of mixing coastals into the granite lines either, it's completely beyond me why people are doing that. From what I've seen the Coastal blood dulls out the color, and you don't get the greens and purples that you can find in nice irian jaya granites.

a pic of Spot earlier today mistaking my arm for a branch:

ya thats what i thought in the pictures i seen. its like diamond with jags, the snake would have been 10x better looking had they kept it pure diamond...but thats my opinion, and i guess as an owner with a 1.1 snakes, and you want to try breeding for the experience of it all, you do what you have to. :P

[Freebody]

hes got alot of yellow on him, i like it, my little guys is much smaller, so hes nt as bright. keep the pics coming :)

[MoreliAddict]

let me know if im getting a bit relentless with these lol

most likely granite jag siblings mate

someone will have put a pure coastal jag over a granite

granite jaguars are great looking carpets;)

cheers shaun

They are doing great! really starting to color up now that they are finnaly starting to grow. i do not cool mine to be honest, i read alot of stuff, some people swear on it, and some dont. Not being able to make up my mind I asked mark what he does, he said he chose not to, so as him breeding these fine snakes i decided not to as well and everything seems great so far :)

[Quack]

Amazing carpet!

[MoreliAddict]

he's in shed so expect some after-shed pics soon!

he wanted nothing to do with me today lol

[red ink]

Very nice carpet mate

[DragonsEye]

Handsome devil!

[MoreliAddict]

thanks for all the nice comments people!

he just took a nice f/t rat last night even though he's mid shed (i love it when he's hanging from his perch and snatches it right off the tongs). Hopefully he'l shed over the weekend and i'll have new pics up next week...

[CK SandBoas]

What a beautiful Carpet!!! I love his pattern, and he's just got the cutest face as well :)

[MoreliAddict]

he's still in shed and his colors are very dull. brought him out for a quick cage clean and shot a quick video.
enjoy!

[krystle]

Wow he is gorgeous!

[shaunyboy]

imo granites bring a lot to the table regards carpet genetics,granite jags being some of the best looking mixes of the granite gene:D

cheers shaun
