Yafe - Albino Carpet - FINAL - Progression Thread

Looking about as perfect as can be.

Thanks for the update.

Yafe is doing incredible. He's calm and inquisitive, a great eater, handsome, and has shown no lasting effects of his illness when we got him.

Frankly, he seems healthy as a horse. He is over 2kg now and easily 6.5-7ft.

He really is a stunner.

Talk about a total success story- he really hit the lottery when he got you for a "dad"- you went all the extra miles for him & it shows.

We didn't know at the time, but he turned out to be an amazing snake! I would have done it for any of my animals, but yes, an amazing success story. He is awesome and I know he wouldn't be here without help from me and Katie and some great vets.

We really hit the Morelia jackpot with him!

Thank you, as always, for the kind words!

Yafe is doing great and continues to be not only a great snake, but incredibly vibrant.

Looking good!

Yafe's growth has slowed a lot, but he officially hit 2KG (empty) yesterday.

He's doing amazing.

What no new pics? Seems to me a milestone like this calls for new pics.

Patience, Grasshopper.

As requested, Yafe pics at 2kg.

What's he 5, 6 foot? How big do you expect him to get?

6FT+. Probably closer to 6.5FT or more. That tank is a 4X2' and 18" tall. He's coming out about 2 feet and diagonal and front to back easy. I'd have to measure the couch and see him stretched out, but I am pretty sure he is at least 6ft. I think Behira (BI) is about 6ft and he is longer. She weighs substantially more and is very thick compared to him, so tough to compare.

Yafe has slowed down a lot in growth. I do not think he will get significantly bigger. He has been around the 2kg mark for about a year now. Last September he was 1.9kg.

I did just start giving him medium/large rats (which I will do from time to time) instead of mediums only. However, he seems happy and healthy.

He looks great.

Yafe with a friend of mine. He's a big hit because of his size, dexterity, demeanor, and colors.

Yafe shed and looks amazing.

Yafe is thickening up a bit. He is still calm and docile as ever. He is rather long though. This makes maneuvering him around the small reptile area a chore as he likes to explore. This means handling him involves other parts of the finished basement now.

Yafe shed the other day is doing awesome. He is long - these pictures do not capture his entire tail!

Me neither. He's a little over 2kg. His body type is such that even though he is longer than Behira (female BI), he is about 1/2 her weight.

It is amazing how graceful he is and how well he climbs.

He eats medium rats every two weeks, but I mix in larger ones as well. He is doing great.

A couple more of Yafe.

Oooo... So pretty.

Yafe was in his hide last night when I fed but we got a good video of him striking his rat.

He is actually my favorite large snake to feed because he is accurate and patient and somewhat gentle. The boas are all over the place and/or aggressive and inpatient. Shayna, the BP, can be wild too. She does not have the best aim.

Not a great pic, but look at the teeth on this guy!
