Finally!

After months of anxiously waiting my JCP finally arrived. I weighed him (31g) and snapped a couple of quick cell phone pics. I'm really looking forward to watching him grow and color up. Here's my boy Shredder!

He's a beauty Zig! I know you're proud of this one. Congrats!

I bet he'll shredd'n rats in no time too. :)

Congrats EL! Some of the best things in life are worth waiting for! He looks fantastic.:gj:

Thanks guys, we're gonna try our 1st feeding tonight. Fingers crossed.

First successful feed in the books!

Nice!

Did I see this correctly?? You are not getting snapped at by the little critter LOL!??

Very nice, and looks to be pretty settled in already.

@ Gio- I was a pleasantly disappointed :). I expected the jungle to be a little snappy but he was surprisingly mellow. He didn't strike at me once and wasn't that flighty either. He was laser focused on his fuzzy though. He needs to work on his accuracy but the intensity was definitely there. ;)

He is so cool. I have one that did not pay attention in Carpet Python school. So he is just as layed back as my boa's. Mine is only three months old. I can't wait to he gets some size on him.:)

Congrats! Where did you get him from and why the wait to get him? That is awesome that he is mellow unless you happen to be dinner.

Thanks Fire. He was produced by Nick Mutton at Inland Reptile who I can't say enough good things about. His customer service is great and his animals are top notch IMO.
I put a deposit on the jungle a few months before he was hatched so that's where the wait came into play. He hatched on 7/30 but we had to wait for him to shed. Nick also likes to make sure his animals have eaten at least 5 times before he ships them out. I'm not always the most patient person so I ended up buying a caramel coastal from him while I was waiting for the jungle :). I'm already looking forward to getting a zebra and a super caramel next year.
