Sheds do stretch. That's why you can never tell a snakes length by the shed. My 6 1/2 foot jungle carpet had a shed over 10 feet once.
It could be a coastal but from the color to me it looks more like a jungle carpet.

Glad to see she's settling in for you and looking good, I remember your first post from when you got her. Thanks for sharing!

Stripe down the back is consistent with Coastal markings. Could have other influence since blood lines get crossed far too often. . .

Nice Coastal, my female is an inch or two shy of 9ft now I've had her for 2 years now. She's a good snake never bit me, but has tried during feeding time haha! she'll actually come out of her boaphile and chase me for her jumbo rat.

Re: Big girl shed
Carpets are funny, once you work with them long enough you can read them like a book. I've been keeping carpets for 2 almost 3 years now and I can read pretty much any carpet python I come across. It's funny I clean a friends collection and he keeps all carpets and swears they are all mean as heck. I can go in there, pull them out clean and change water like it's no big deal. The look on his face was priceless when I pulled out his "meanest" Jungle carpet and put her in a bin with ease so I could clean her cage.
