[shaunyboy]

are you feeding it rats or mice ?

cheers shaun

[Norm66]

awesome feeding pics! Thanks for sharing. :)

[exwizard]

Yeah I love Carpets and this one is awesome!

[Hillsberry]

Welcome! What an outstanding baby you have there. :)

[Psynapse]

Ty, it is a nice mouth. Always hungry.

Shaun, I give it mouse and rat (one week one, one week another).

[alessia55]

Ty, it is a nice mouth. Always hungry.

Shaun, I give it mouse and rat (one week one, one week another).

Out of curiosity, why do you switch back and forth between mice and rats every week rather than sticking to just rats?

[Norm66]

Great name for a great snake. Welcome!

[UwabamiReptiles]

Beautiful Jag! He'll be a screamer here in the next year or so. Keep us updated with this guy.

[shaunyboy]

Ty, it is a nice mouth. Always hungry.

Shaun, I give it mouse and rat (one week one, one week another).


imo,you would be better using rats all the time mate

a lot of carpets get a taste for mice and will not cross over to rats

if your carpet sticks with mice,it takes a lot of them to feed an adult carpet

that said,you do get some carpets who will eat anything you offer them,but personally i would play it safe and keep him on rats

cheers shaun

[Psynapse]

Well, in my research in animal nutrition, found some years ago a nutrition tablet with all the compounds of rat and mice. Rats have high protein, tryglicerids and water, but mice get more vitamins in same proportion of rats in weight. If in adults, rats are a must be because of the % weight of the snake, in young they can have easily rat+mice diet and the bonus vitamins that a exclusive rat diet couldnt match. All my young snakes had this diet, even regius (mus musc.+ rattus norvegicus+mastomys natalensis). I think that a diversed diet is more natural and gets less problems. Ofc, noone of them got special tastes that would bring down this diet :yes:

And after 8 months what a huge change at color and size!
