Second carpet

Yesterday I got pictures from the breeder of the jungle carpet hatchlings I've been waiting for. It was a really tough choice but this is the one I chose. He's eaten 4 times so he should ship next week or the following. He was produced by Nick Mutton at Inland Reptile. I can't say enough good things about Nick and his top notch service, amazing animals, and his valuable contributions to our hobby. Here's my boy Shredder.

Re: Second carpet

That's what im hoping for too G. If he's anything like his parents and grandparents he should turn out nicely. Fingers crossed .

Re: Second carpet

That's a nice looking jungle there, Ziggy. Just had a feed in that photo I think.

Re: Second carpet

Thanks y'all. Carpets have grown on me FAST! I've only had my coastal for a week and I've already seen a big difference between him and my colubrids. He's considerably more active, I don't think I've seen him on the floor of his enclosure for longer than a minute, and he rarely uses his hides.

Re: Second carpet

He's here. Shredder arrived at 10:15 EST this morning. He was curious but not defensive at all. No striking or musking. I weighed him (31g) and took a couple of quick cell phone pics. I'll get better photos later. He last meal was 9/15 so I'll attempt to feed him in a day or two. I think I'm onto something good with these Morelias.

Re: Second carpet

Great looking snake. Im pretty hooked on carpets now too. My max is taming down quickly.
But both carpets still hide just as much as any of my other snakes.
