Kipling (JCP) updated photos...

Kipling the (approx 8 month-old) JCP had a shed last weekend, so I decided to take some photos of him... I took him over to the door/window for some natural light, and he thought the blinds made a cool climbing vine! :D He's doing great btw, eating like a pig and growing nicely - still fairly skinny, but getting noticeably longer and brighter.

Really nice pics. He has a great pattern & the colors are nice & bright. He's really cute peeking through the blinds. Looks like he's gonna' turn into an awesome jcp.

Thanks! I thought nobody would ever reply to this thread, LOL. :P

When I got Kip they said he'd get more yellow with every shed, and I thought maybe they were full of it... but so far it seems to be true, and I can't wait to see him as an adult!

Its amazing how different carpets look in natural light, they really are beautiful. And yours looks great...

Gorgeous carpet! I hope to have one some day, when I have more cash to spend on snakes LOL. How are they tempermentwise?

Thanks! :) It really is hard to capture their colors on "film," especially when using a flash - it just washes them out completely. That's why I decided to head for the natural light, but the blinds & sunshine were too tempting for him. :D

Kipling says thank you. ;) The general consensus on carpets is that they're often nippy babies, but mellow out with age and frequent handling. Mine will occasionally strike at the tub, if I wave my hand past unexpectedly... aside from that he's a sweetheart, and quite curious when you take him out. He'll stretch his skinny neck as FAR as he can, to get a whiff/look at whatever is outside the tub. Super cute little guy, and I can't wait until he's full grown!

P.S. They're also semi-arboreal snakes, so it's good to provide them with a climbing branch (or something like that). Kip has a branch in his tub, and spends probably 90% of his time on there!

Btw, can anyone here tell me if he looks like a "pure" jungle? When I got him they said he's possibly not, and could have some coastal or jaguar in him... he's my first & only carpet, so I have no idea! :confuzd:
