absolute gorgeous snake, how old is she ?

Klaire · 02-09-16, 05:01 PM

I don't know the exact age unfortunately i never asked her previous owner, I'm open to opinions

LespaceSerpent · 02-09-16, 09:13 PM

She is absolutely gorgeous! I look forward to more pictures of her ^-^

That's a really pretty CP, looks no older than a yearling.

Herpo · 02-09-16, 10:50 PM

I agree with Sam, no more that a year old I think. She's beautiful, what species?

**EL Ziggy** · 02-09-16, 11:30 PM

She looks like a yearling to me as well. Have you weighed her yet Klaire?

LespaceSerpent - Thankyou

!
Sam - awesome thanks for your opinion

Herpo - Thankyou! she is a morelia spilota cheynei however she is Julatten that's why she is black & white/grey (and tan when she is getting close to a shed) rather than the typical black & yellow

Ziggy - Thanks for the opinion

I know it's very important to do so however if i am to be completely honest i haven't gotten around to it yet, I have been moving house alot lately and this is my fourth time moving within the space of a couple months (Hard to explain why) and i lost my last scales throughout the moves so have been meaning to buy a new one but as soon as i do i will update this thread and let you know

By the way, The container she came with had this sticker on the front with this date, If it's her Birth date when she came out of the egg then that would make her older than a year which doesn't make sense giving her size as i'm sure you all agree so i have no idea what that date would be relating to with her ??

I thought so. Julattens are gorgeous, I love her head! The pattern is one I've never even seen remotely on another python!

Could be the date her egg was laid. Popeye is almost a year old, he's 11 months now, turning a year old in March, and he is probably 1.1m.

Thanks Sam! I love her to bits and already adore her but when other people agree that she is pretty it's kinda like the icing on a cake haha

. Ah ok that makes sense, I love popeye by the way his eyes are so beautiful just like Mercy's they are that awesome granite looking silver. Congrats on his birthday coming up soon

If that is the hatch date she's not much more than one year old now. My IJ/jungle cross is probably a few months older than Mercy, very well fed, and a bit more than 1 meter long. A bit bulkier though, gets more mice than necessary because they breed/grow so quickly.

Klaire · 02-10-16, 01:53 AM

Ah ok awesome thanks for that

. I have heard that they grow quickly and that is becoming apparent quite fast with Mercy as she is starting to get hungrier quicker these past few days and her last shed skin is alot bigger than her first

Thanks, still don't know what to get him lol. There's a progress thread on him coming on after his shed by the way.
