The obligatory guess what snake I've just bought thread
So after months of threatening to do so I have finally bought a second snake for my collection! As you regulars will know I've been mooting a few possibilities but I'm really really pleased with my choice.
So what have I bought. Clues-it's not a particularly uncommon snake, in fact is go as far to say it's pretty common.
What makes it a little unusual is that it's a wild type of one of the lesser chosen localities and it has 100% known lineage so absolutely fulfils my criteria for my collection.
Oh and it's pretty as all hell 
So, what have I got?! One clue-it's not a boa of any make or model...

No to both. My favoured store did have some mandarins in not so long ago-don't come across them too often.

Re: The obligatory guess what snake I've just bought thread
El Ziggy has it! A very lovely male IJ carpet from Paul Harris (one of the UK's most respected python breeders).
Ticks all the boxes for me! CB15 and still such a little thing. Seemed calm enough in the store but appreciate the odd nip is pretty much guaranteed at first one he's home.
As yet unnamed and just setting the enclosure up before I fetch him home.
Couple of quick phone shots attached

Re: The obligatory guess what snake I've just bought thread
For some reason (either me being blind or some genuine technical reason) I can't see the edit post button on my one above.
I should say a carpet wasn't top of the list but every time I've been in the store the last few weeks I've been drawn toward this little chap. Just something about him that made me call in love so I took that as a good sign-it's how I chose Auntie Rachel after all.
Plus finding a locality carpet with cast iron lineage is not the easiest thing. They also had a jungle from Paul also but I love the subtly of an adult IJ and they're a little less common in pure wild type.
Once he's home and settled I'll start a proper progression thread but in the meantime through store's stock pic also.
