very nice jungle mate much better quality than the ones on offer in the uk.we have to travel to europe for the german bloodlines of jungle to get the yellow as nice as that.keep an eye on the whistling when she breathes as imo its the first sign of an r.i. i had a jungle that whistled from one nostril as she had a bit shed stuck up it.the vet and i had to reverse flush it out with a catheter.might be worth checking the inside of her mouth for mouth rot as that would be a sure sign of an on going r.i.if in any doubt then get the vet to give her a health check.jungles are one of my favourite carpets.
cheers shaun

Congratulation on your new snake. She one beautiful jungle! Now you won't be able to stop at just one. Carpet are addictive. My jungle make a noise that sounds like a wheeze or hiss. She only does it when being held. I had her check by the only vet that would look at her around here. He said it was nothing to worry about unless it got worst. That was 7 years ago and she still does it every now and then.Then a month or so ago on Aussie python and snake.com they were talking about how carpet (mostly jungle and coastal) do this when stress or pissed off. I got to thinking about it and she always do it when she doesn't want to go back in her cage or wants to go one direction and i won't let her. But i would still get her check out just to be safe.

Thank you. She is very pretty. I will watch her. If it doesnt get better I will go to the vet. But she might just be stressed. I mean I would be stressed to. Imean she went from her home to the Expo to my house. Alot of stress
