Nice! Shredder is beautiful.

**Minkness** · 01-30-16, 08:17 PM

Beautiful!

They both look great but Shredder is really getting some good yellows in

Yep, growing like weeds in a garden, lol. Looking great, seeing the pics of yours makes me think my jungle/cross isn't too fat after all. He/she is bulkier than the Domincan boas and everglades rat, but not as much as the red tails.

Very nice carpets ! Shredder is looking great

Shredder looks incredible! Can't imagine why you named him that, was he a living chainsaw when he was younger?

Chomper looks good too, lots of yellow for a coastal

Thanks Sam. Shredder's a little over 6 months and coming along well. Part of selling the idea of getting new snakes to the family was I'd let my 6 y/o son name them. Shredder is named after the villain on the cartoon show Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. His nemesis is a rat named Splinter. He's the good guy and leader of the turtles. Same with Chomper. He's the T-Rex in The Land Before. I would have named them Lovelace after the penguin guru in Happy Feet and Moto-Moto after the playboy hippo in Madascar. I keep asking him if I can change their names but he says NO WAY DAD!

Classic haha, I must say your boy has great taste in names. What better way to scare the bejesus out of house guests than to say "Here are my pythons Shredder and Chomper, who wants to be first?" Hahah

I must say I like Moto-Moto, gotta play that tune from Madagascar on loop in his tank, I'm sure he'll grow into a voracious breeder.

"I like 'em big, I like 'em chunky"
"I like 'em big, I like 'em plumpy"

I'm sure Lovelace would follow suit

LOL, I love the Moto-Moto song

Last night was feeding time. It was dark and the pics aren't the best but I figured I'd share anyway. These guys are growing well. Shredder, the JCP, is up to 268g. He ate a 40g asf. That was his first asf. So far both of the carpets have eaten any prey item I've offered. Chomper, the Coastal, is 605g. He ate a 53g small rat and a 41g chick.

Gorgeous carpets! Your coastal looks like he's a bit caramel!

**EL Ziggy** · 02-27-16, 03:12 PM

Good eye Herpo. He is a caramel coastal.
