I got bitten...

by the Morelia bug...
Which do you guys recommend? Jungle, Coastal or Bredli? I also like Jaguars, but their neurological disorder puts me off.
Any advice? Thanks in advance.

Great bug!

I recommend BOTH!

You will end up with another, but my personal choice would be a locality Brisbane Coastal from Nick Mutton OR one of the members here who has a gravid female!

The coastals tend to be a little more arboreal than the Bredli but they are both quite arboreal. Bredli are close to bullet proof when it comes to husbandry.
Bredli are heavy bodied, and beautiful.

The Brisbane coastals are the largest of the carpets and they are beautiful.

I wish I had a Brisbane, and I wish I had a Bredli.

I have a coastal mix (mutt) of some type and she's awesome.

She's a 7 foot animal and is probably the most pleasant snake we have here.

I'm not 100% certain of her makeup. I know her mother was 10 feet, and father was 8 feet.

I think Jewel is pretty well toped off now.

I love the carpet group and would like another!

Love Morelia! Do yourself a favor and listen to the Morelia Python Radio podcasts, I've learned a ton and those guys are a hoot.

I don't have any, so can't advise directly. But I love to learn about them and hope to have a Boelens one day (though I think they were kicked out of Morelia and are considered Simalia now...they still seem like Morelia to me :rolleyes:).

I completely agree with, Gio. Anyone who loves snakes will love having anything Morelia.

I picked up my Bredli from Nick Mutton, Inland Reptile. He was great to deal with and a wealth of knowledge. I still go on his website to see what’s available and always want one of each.

As Gio said, if you go Coastal, the southern Brisbane locality is something special and will give you your largest Morelia. I was very, very close to choosing one from Nick instead of my Bredli. Hard choice, both great.

Completely different than my BPs. He prefers to stretch out and hang on any of the structure in his tub.

I love Morelia! Im not sure I could add much that hasn't already been said better than I can, but do yourself a favor and check out The Complete Carpet Python.

Click bait!!!!! Hahahahaha! I expected to read that you got tagged!!!

I'm thinking I'm leaning this way too for my next snake....

Thank you everyone for your comments.
Thanks Gio, your Morelia is stunning!! :bow:

Rock, it was actually your thread "This is my Bredli. There are many like it"; that made me want a Morelia... thank you.

I have a few different Morelia (jungles, coastal, albino and Bredli). I was originally drawn to jungles but now coastals are my favorite by far. Thanks Reinz :). I love the jags too but can't get past the neuro thing.

You can't go wrong with any of them really. Although I'd say a pure Diamond is not a bigger carpet. Other than that have at it.

Rock's Bredli is sensational!
