    My pretty little mutt.

    It was love at first sight with this jungle x jag cross. I most likely won't breed her but she'll look great next to my male jungle. She arrives next Tuesday. Mutts need love too right?

    Re: My pretty little mutt.

    Nice ziggy! How old and big is she? She looks really cool. On a side note I'm considering maybe getting another carpet or a bull snake. Which one should I go with?

    That is one gorgeous mutt!
    The one thing I found that you can count on about Balls is that they are consistent about their inconsistentcy.

    Re: My pretty little mutt.

    Thanks fellas. I think she was posted for sale for like 12 minutes on FB before I contacted the seller.

    @ Term- I'm not sure of her weight but the seller says she's 9 months old and about 3ft. She's eating rat pups so I figure she's probably a couple hundred grams.

    You know I've been on a carpet kick lately and I'll most likely get a female diamond x jungle soon but I LOVE my bulls too. My female bull is a beast. She turns 3 in September and she's already close to 7ft and over 2500g. My male is about 5.5 ft and 1500g. He'll be 2 in July. They're not arboreal but they are pretty active in their enclosures and both of mine will regularly hang out in the open. They sometimes have a little attitude but mine grew out of it quickly. It's a pretty impressive /intimidating display. The husbandry is pretty much foolproof too. Since you have two carpets I'd probably go with the bull for diversity.

    Oh, looked bigger than that to me. Nice find.

    I like the diversity idea but the carpets are really cool and I don't know about the bulls because I've never had one. That being said I really like your bulls and your feelings about them will weigh in a lot on my decision. How are they to handle now that they are so large?

    Re: My pretty little mutt.

    T- Don't get me wrong, my carpets are the coolest snakes I keep. They just move so gracefully. I love watching them climb and balance themselves on branches. My bulls are just more "gruff". They move sh**. Finesse is not their forte. I love it when they thrash and trash their enclosures when they're hungry. And they just gulp down their food. They have a fierce and intense look and energy but both of mine are pretty sweet outside of feeding time and great to handle. Not nearly flighty as the carpets. You really can't go wrong with either critter.

    Re: My pretty little mutt.

    Beautiful animal Ziggy. Not to hijack your thread but I love jungles and have actually reached out to Nick Mutton about possibly acquiring a Zebra from him. My question is where would I be able to find a jungle x coastal? I want something with some size to it and if possible have that jungle look. Anyway, thanks to you, terminal and all the other carpet keepers who have pointed us to someone like Nick. He's got some beautiful animals.

    Re: My pretty little mutt.

    @ Cron- I wasn't really looking for another snake but kept looking at Nick's website, the Facebook Morelia groups and all the classifieds and eventually my addiction got the best of me AGAIN. I was going to buy a female jungle from Nick but the one I wanted sold before I could lock her down. It all worked out for the best though. If you're looking for a jungle x coastal I've seen a few on kingsnake.com and fauna.com . I found my girl on the Morelia Madness FB group page.
