Thought you guys might get a kick out of this.
Second Jungle clutch this year. Looking forward to working with more Carpet babies this year.

i would have got bit. well probably not because id be to afraid to reach in and pick her up without a oven mitt on haha

Haha...thanks guys. I'm usually around to gather them before they coil but, this year...I've been super busy and not around as much. It's much easier if you can catch them before them go into mother mode. LoL.

Had another female drop last week

Fun time of year. And, nice to have some carpet eggs in there next to the BHP eggs. Gives me a little variety to play with. lol.

So cool! How big/old is mom?

Derek Roddy · 04-29-15, 05:19 AM

Both mothers are 6 years old this year and sisters. I'd guess they're both about 4 and 1/2 feet.

Oh shes still on the smaller side then. My jcp is pushing 9'. she was that long when I got her and apparently her previous owner got 2, 21 egg clutches out of her. Thats why I'm so dissappointed I got nothing this year. But Ill be trying again next year so we will see what happens.

I've seen some bigger Jungles around. I like to keep mine about the size that they occur in their native habitat. You'd be hard pressed to find a true "jungle" over 4 or 5 feet in the wild.

I know thats the typical size for them. which is why I was absolutely blown away when I saw her in person the first time when I bought her. But she was beautiful healthy and had a great temperment so I brought her home that day.

Carpets are great. love em.

Smoooth lol. I feel like I would've gotten bitten for sure. I caught a little bit of the post of Facebook. This is the 3rd time she's done 10 eggs right?

Derek Roddy · 04-30-15, 10:00 AM

Second Terrell. Gonna give her off this next year. I've noticed that my females seem to drop about the same every year...give or take one or two.

Hows the new additions settling in?
