Thank you kindly, Zig. He is definitely less of a little noodle now. Glad yours are great as well. Always nice to check in and see their progress.

That is one fine looking Bredli Rock!

Loooking forward to seeing more pics down the road. :)

He's looking great!

I'm actually considering a bredli sometime in the future. It's VERY early in the research phase, but your thread and your boy are partially responsible for me being interested, hahahaha.

Yup!!! Hahahaha. The girl gave me the green light to go bigger!! She's grown more comfortable with snakes in general and sees that I'm plenty capable of handling more, size and quantity wise. Since she had no experience at all with snakes, and was basically afraid, she put some limits in place. Since she's allowing the snakes in our house, I have always been happy to live within her comfort zone. Well, her comfort zone has increased and she understands more now. Soooo...her comfort level increasing = my limits have changed.

So, that opens a LOT of doors for me to add new species. Bredl's being one I'm interested in.

Thanks, Craig. I'm happy if anything in my snake journey can help anyone else here. I took in a lot of what I read here before I made my decision.

Congrats on getting the green light! Lots of great choices out there. I can tell you that for me, already having two ball pythons, I definitely wanted to step up to something in the Carpet Python complex. It's fun to switch up and go from slow moving snakes to one that is more curious and speedy. Having both types is perfect.

What swayed me towards the Bredli was a couple of things that may or may not apply to you. Because my wife is not really into snakes I had to make my decision carefully because 3 was probably going to be my max. Both of the kid's BPs are morphs so I decided I wanted something that could closely represent a Carpet in the wild. I liked that Bredli's are good size and heavy bodied. Plus, he has proven out to be very hardy as described. Sheds are completely not affected by humidity and are a breeze each time. Feeding has never been an issue. Cleaning is as easy as the BPs.

If I opened up my search to other Carpets, I really love the Diamond-Jungle combos, Jungles and the Brisbane Coastal. Any Jag combo looks fantastic but I was wary of any neuro isssues, even though lots of Jags have no problems.

Hope my two cents helps further, enjoy your search!

Thanks! I'm a fan of variety too. I've primarily kept Kings, corns and balls to this point. I currently have a King, BP, hognose and Borneo STP. So I'm looking for something a little different. It almost seems to me like a carpet would be a logical next step, kinda like the best of the BP/STP meets a King kinda thing. They seem to have the length and slenderish bodies of Kings as well as the active, curious demeanor, while having the look and power of a BP....if that makes any sense to you, Hahaha.

It'll be a while still, so time will tell...

He is beautiful !!!

You definitely have to share more pictures now, we want to see more of him :)

Amazing how big he has gotten, I remember the little noodle you got, LOL
