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...

Craig, you really have a great collection! You really nailed it regarding Carpets. They are excellent creatures in every way and certainly, I feel, offer so much to anyone involved with them. I’m excited for you no matter what you choose!

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

Thank you very much, Zina! As you wish, I included a few photos from right now.

It’s true, he has gotten much bigger when I look at the old photos. It’s hard for me to tell sometimes up close but I think it’s time for him to get into a full size enclosure. After I feed him tomorrow I am going to check his weight, if he obliges.

Such a beautiful and unique snake !!

Definitely a star in any collection :) You did good !!

Thanks!! I'm excited already even though I'm only in the early research stages.

Yeah, all this talk of new snakes has me wishing for a new one too!

Hey Rock! I'm a newer member here, since you first started this thread, but am loving catching up on Alpha. He's gorgeous!!

How big would you say he is now? Weight/length? What size tub are you keeping him in and do you have any plans to move him to another type of enclosure?

Rock please!! STOP posting pictures of Alpha.

... It makes me want a Morelia so bad!! :D

You actually have to get that one outdoors in the sun!

I'll bet the pictures would be unreal, and from what I've read, real UVs from the sun a few times a week can make their colors pop more.

I'm eager to see this one outside!

Thank you very much! Great questions, I've been wondering myself. He's been doing so well I honestly haven't tried to weigh him this past year. As for length, I would definitely say he is now somewhere between 4 and 5 feet including his tail. Feeding him today, I'll get him near a tape measure this week!

The tub is a 62 qt. It's worked up to this point but he's ready for bigger and I'm thinking about what size his permanent enclosure should be.
