Carpet pythons

[Raven01]

Carpet pythons are slow growers. I've read of females not laying a clutch until they were 4 years old. Growth rate also has a lot to do with locality too. A Coastal could be 3.5ft - 4ft at a year old where a IJ might barely be 3ft by 2 years old for example.

If you are really considering breeding Carpets then I would recommend this book.

Good luck with your search. Carpets are amazing animals.

^^^ This guy and 3skulls were 2 that jumped to mind in whose Carpets to look at to help you make your selection.

On the subject of how fast they grow? Here's a pic to illustrate the difference in growth rates depending on feeding and temps! These two are clutch mates!

As far as pricing and size etc, I deal primarily with coastals (Morelia spilota mcdowelli) and they are prolly the biggest spilota you can get in the states. My males stay around 1000-1200 grams and 4/5 ft long (primarily due to how I feed them) females can and will get big 8ft or so, and 4-5kilos (1-2lbs, I also keep bps and have gotten used to the metric system). Pricing for just regular run of mill carpets 75-150 is about right, really nice jungles will be about 3x that amount. Yrlings and adults depends!
On breeding. They are about the simplest pythons to breed, you can, and I have, bred them on accident! Males are mature at about 18-24 months, females can be bred at 2.5 yrs but usually take that extra yr and go at 3.5!
Second getting the book, and highly recommend carpets in general!!

That's a pretty broad question. Generally if you have interest in an animal you research it yourself and when you have specific questions you use a forum like this. They aren't usually used to get all the info you can on an animal. That's more of a google type thing.

Dude it's not that serious. Really.

It's a public forum designed to ask questions and talk to other people in the hobby. If someone wants to ask a broad question that's fine. Those of us who are OK with answering a lot of questions will do so. Someone such as yourself simply doesn't need to respond. That being said hopefully someone will have a positive response to the Op's question.

Bredli or central carpet pythons i believe are the second largest locality of carpet pythons. From what ive read they like it dry they are also considered more arboreal then say a coastal carpet which is what i have

Thanks everyone for your kind responses. True it was a open question that I was asking. However I was only asking a general question eg how do you like yours, experience with temperament etc . The things you don't get from a book. In other words just a general conversation. By the way I really like the pictures you all have posted. Thank you all with something positive to say.
