JCP Progression Thread!

Yesterday I went to the Portland metro reptile expo and I've been trying to decide what species of snake to have next, and I came across a booth with these beautiful jungle carpets. They we're absolutely beautiful and I asked to hold one of them. For whatever reason I was just instantly comfortable with her. There were two others that had brighter yellows, but for some reason I was actually kind of scared of them. Now, I have no doubt that I'll get bitten by her, but I'm really okay with that. I honestly think she will grow up to be an amazing emotional spray snake. Her name is Hannibal, or Hanna for short. She currently weighs 57 grams. Best birthday gift ever!http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15...0fc557e0a7.jpghttp://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15...39126dff87.jpghttp://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15...43ff920de6.jpghttp://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15...fe9b3f175c.jpg

Hannibal ate today!! I know I was supposed to wait a week before doing anything but she is so calm and actually sleeps in my hands once she's out of her cage. The breeder told me she eats live large fuzzy mice, but all I had was f/t mice and I would end up switching her anyways, but I left it in her cage and left her alone for a few hours and when I came back it was gone and she now has a cute little full tummy😊 can't get enough of her!! Only had her for a day and she is already definitely my favorite snake out of my four other ball pythons.

Nice pick up. I used to have a jungle phase ATB and high white GTP. Arboreal snakes are cool. If I ever get one again it would be GTP all the way. He was nippy but my ATB was the devil. Haha Once his cage was open you had at most 10 seconds to do what you wanted before he was striking at anything that moved. Somehow managed to never get bit by either. Quick hands. Haha

Awesome pick up

Nice! It's great that she is so calm already. They tend to be nippy at that age...it looks like you lucked out. I love carpets too, I want to get a really bright jaguar in the future.

Congrats she looks great. Keep us posted on how things progress with her.

Very nice JCP. I'm looking for a nice jungle myself. Please share more pics as she grows. I love it when they color up nicely. I like her name too. I have a Cal King named Hannibal. :)

Nice little worm! to the OP, im moving to the Portland area in about 2 weeks, well moving back. I was wondering how often do reptile shows happen up there?

Congrats! :)

I love a Carpets too. Hope to get one someday.
