Are you ready for kevin?

He’s a real stunner, Gio. I’d love to add a Bredli or a pair here, along with several other Morelia species/subspecies... jungles, inlands, red coastals, tigers, etc... trying to exercise restraint in spite of having no one to tell me “no”. I’ll try to live vicariously through Kevin for my Bredl’s fix!

That's one good looking snake! :snake:

Kevin is working on digesting his first quail here.

I wasn't going to post anything until I had a warm day and some pretty outdoor shots.

However, I'm coming up on the year mark with him in April so I figured I'd update his progress a bit.

He looks the same, but I will say this species is quite robust compared to the other members in the carpet group.

Kevin has "boa like" density.

He's out of character here as he's usually perched.

He has a nice quail bulge but the quail actually weighs less than his normally offered large rat.

Nick Mutton loves the hardiness of Morelia Bredli.

I have to agree, these guys are almost bullet proof.

Gio, he's looking awesome.

Yafe, my CP, is often on his perches, but when he eats a nice meal, he tends to go back and forth from perch under RHP to curled up in the corner under it.

Maybe the perches aren't as comfortable with a full tummy?

Very impressive snake- :yes: He looks like he's "all business".

That's certainly a possibility, although he usually stays up high after a rat.

I have a hunch he's headed into a shed in the near future.

The quail was a great change up for him. Added variety is something I try to incorporate into the diets here.

Wild Bredli are very arboreal and avian prey is a staple of their diet in their natural habitat. I'm glad he finally took a quail.

Man oh man oh man, he's looking sharp, Gio! These pics really highlight the bulk he's put on in the last year. Getting that nice beefy Bredl's head the species is known for. Glad he's accepting the variation in menu offerings without hesitation. I think he'll put away most anything you offer him.

Bredli head.

He's starting to develop the "bulldog" head the Centralian's are known for.

This is a typical position to find him in. Perched with his head down scanning the floor.

Looking great Gio awsome colour and markings.
I love it when they start to get that meaty head as they mature and to see them acting wild in hunt mode, that's my gomez favourite position looking down of his shelf too[emoji7]

I love it when boas do this too.

You'll have to get a Gomez shot of that soon!
