How carpets mangle rats

Fortunately he is baby tame when its not feeding time and even when it is hes still fairly docile. I usually have to present him with a rat before he goes total ape on me

Once my girl is out of her cage she's perfectly friendly, hasn't attempted to bite when being handled for over a year (when I pulled her out of her box from the mail :D)... but in her cage is another story entirely!

Yep, I had a male Jungle that I sold recently who was cage agressive, and normally fine once out of the cage. My Irian Jaya Granite however . . . he's not cage agressive at all but once he's out of the cage he's definitely a monster and has taken a considerable amount of my blood ;-) it's ok he's still young! He'll learn.

I love carpet temperaments (I've only had my adult female for couple months tho) If I had the room I would be very tempted to try my hand breeding them I like their looks and their size and everything haha. The striking and eating while hanging from a branch is cool to see as well

Yep, the majority of mine, adults and juveniles, will all eat from a perch. The only exception is my Pure Coastal Jag girl who, for some reason, prefers to eat on top of her hide. . .

Haha she wants to be an individual :) and the first time I seen the hanging and eating I turned into a kid seeing the coolest thing he's seen lol but I'm easily excited and being my first carpet and first snake taller then me I couldn't help but be amazed lol.
