My new Bredli

Wow! She's gorgeous! I had never heard of this type of Python.

Thanks. Bredli's are somewhat popular I think but not as popular as the other carpets. The first time I learned of a carpet was a person I know wanted me to see what was available at a repticon. He wanted a jungle and they had one. So I looked up info about carpets and from then I knew I wanted one.

Evelyn has a new coat and is growing like a wild fire. I had to put her in a tote with a lid to weigh her. She would not stay still in the open tub I normally use. The scale reads 1284g.

It looks like all the overtime at work is about to end. I hope once my shift goes back to normal that I will try and hold her more often and get her new enclosure finished.

Great looking snake! I'm looking to add a jungle or diamond cross to my collection.

I almost got a jungle diamond cross from this guy. http://www.mysticreptiles.com/morelia.html
I held one of his at the Daytona breeder expo. I knew that I was going to the firexpo in Orlando and held off. I was hoping he was going to be there but he wasn't so I ended up getting Evelyn.

The JD cross do look awesome and the one I held had a really good temperament.

She looks great!

I hope you get to spend more time with her soon.

Thanks for the pictures!

Thanks for the link fire. He's got some nice looking animals on his site and good reviews on BOI. I'll definitely keep him in mind.

Evelyn was move to new temporary quarters until I can finish her enclosure. This is my 120 gal aquarium that I recently shut down after 10 years of fish. I made some lids to fit the top so that if I ever get fish again I can still use the tank.

Evelyn has reallly been checking the new place out. I thought she would go in the hide box for a bit but she has been hanging out on all above ground surfaces.

Nice setup! You did great with the top.

She sure is a great looking Bredli.:)

She looks great. How old is she,,,? I can't recall.

Also how long is she? She is one of the larger species and I'm just curious to know where she is in the length department.

She is a really nice looking animal, and a nice change up from the "typical" stuff like I have.

Thanks about the lids. The right one gave me trouble because I tried to angle the corners. The left was not as bad and fits tight that I have to pry it open so that worked out so far.

Evelyn is around 4 foot. I only do She is some where around 2 - 3 years old. I was told she was 18 months to 2 years old when I got her and that the seller had the info at home. He ended up not having the records which ticked me off.

She got a rat today and is people watching from her stump.

She is really nice. I have a 2 year old coastal that is about 6 feet long. I feed her large rats, or the quail and chick equivalent. I suppose she eats every 3 weeks to a month when I use the larger prey.

Your girl looks great and I hope you enjoy her as much as the others you have.

I measured Evelyn today just to see. She is around 5 1/2 ft. It thought she was shorter but I was wrong.

They are a bit deceiving when they are light bodied and growing. My girl doesn't seem as long as my 3 year old boa constrictor, but she is by a bit now.

I like the "somewhat" more slim build. They move a bit more graceful and tend not to knock your cage decor to bits when they decide to get groovy.

Although I just fed very heavy and she is giant right now.

My feed schedule at the moment is I feed Evelyn every 5 days with a medium rat. Now due to being at work so much, sometimes skip a feed day because I run out of time trying to take care of stuff when I am off. I have always done the 5 day cycle if my snakes are juvenile. So Evelyn and Pryor are feed every 5 days and my BP is once a week.

I watched a animalbytes video yesterday where the caught 2 scrub pythons that had each eaten a chicken and if was funny seeing the long snake with that big of a food lump. It looked like the had eaten a cinder block.

That's about what my girl looks like, a football in her middle.

I will feed very heavy once in a while, and then wait a month, maybe longer and feed a small item then wait another long bit.

I don't typically use a "schedule" but more of a feast or famine method with mixed prey type and different sizes.

I suspect she is in her growth spurt now and will not eat again until she is cleared out and has had a shed which could be into mid August.

I will not duplicate this last feeding however, it was a one time deal.

Evelyn shed the other day so she was weighed. I though she would have been a little heavier but I since I have had missed a feeding here and there due to work this is where she is at.

I fed her after weighting her. She cruised around for a little while after finishing her dinner. She kept ending up back where she ate the rat so I think she was wanting 2nds. I might treat her to 2 medium rats next time I feed her.

Next time I am going to put her in a bag to weigh her instead of the box.

Thanks, it was something I build quickly until I finish her permanent home.

I guess dinner was on the dry side. Evelyn ended up eating half in her water bowl for her first rat. She looked like a wide mouth shark trying to swallow the rat and stay out of the water at the same time. I also gave her a 2nd rat for this feeding. She then went to her hot side hide so I think she was fat, full and, Happy.

She's looking really good Fire. I like the cage setup too. She's got her own little jungle gym in there. :)

I love the water feeding! Awesome

I got a GoPro Hero 4 Silver the other day to film when I scuba dive and whatever else. I made a video on how I made the lids for the 120 gal. aquarium that Evelyn is in.
https://youtu.be/Efv77TIurNA

While I was at work this weekend, I found the Lift & Turn Compression Latches that I have been looking for to be able to secure the lid. I need to call the company due to the thickness of my lids to see what will work but at least I found them. Plus, that means I can play with my gopro some more if I am able to make the latches work in securing the lids.

That lid worked out well!

I installed the lift and turn compression latches on the lids for Evelyn's enclosure and they are awesome.

Here is part 2, https://youtu.be/Ug53gNa6-RU

Nice video Fire.

Evelyn had a big day yesterday. She went to repticon Jax. and completed shedding. She had cleared up and was active but did not shed yet when I got home from work. I decided to take her and she had her shed half off when we got to the show. I had her in a backpack that she seemed to like. She kept wanting to go back into the backpack but her tail would be out on my shoulder while I was walking around.

She got her shed off and decided to come out to see what was going on. When she did this, people right behind me let out a yelp with the appearance of a big snake coming out of my backpack!

She seemed to have a good time exploring and everyone that saw her asked questions about her. I wanted to get pics but I also had my 3 kids so I was not able to.

Her current weight is now 2,193g. The pic has higher but that includes the box she is in. I was able to get her skin most of the way stretched out. The eye caps on the head are cool.

For the last pic, she was fed today and I had set her hide up on the board. She ate her rat then got I to her hid as it was, lol.

How long is she now?

What a pretty girl.

Last time I measured her she was around 5.5ft.

Some people at show would ask if she is a carpet and a couple asked if she was a jungle. Only 1 person actually called her a Centralian. I had to tell most that she was a bredli. Many seemed to kind of know what she is after I told them bredli. I think a few might have gone home to see about adding 1 to the collection.

Way to be an ambassador for the breed Fire!

That's so cool. We need more people to be interested in carpet pythons. Yours looks great.

Good job! :gj:

So I feed Evelyn today and then she decides to be active after eating a medium sized rat. Oh and she has started to open her mouth and go after the rat now. I guess she is expanding her capabilities to include lunging and striking.

Visiting the new friend. http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/10...32f6d366b8.jpg

It was really nice outside today so we made the kids go out and play. I brought Evelyn out and stuck her on the baby swing frame. She apparently enjoyed the sunshine and how warm the Frame was because she just sat there. Later the tranquility was upset when I started swinging the baby in the swing. Evelyn started to look for a way down. http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/10...ddef0cd8d1.jpghttp://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/10...322b1164c2.jpghttp://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/10...db1a04c613.jpghttp://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/10...57e66de779.jpg

Nice pics Fire. I realize that no matter how much I may want to, there's no way I can even have just one of every beautiful snake I see. I have to just learn to be happy with what I have and admire the others from afar. :D

My M-I-L got this large roll of paper for the kids to color on. I think it is what newspaper is before print. I thought of this a few months ago and it has taken that long to create the Crayola masterpiece. It is suppose to be the area that bredli's come from with a few added rainbows and strange other critters. But hey, it is suppose to be Australia where there are many strange critters.

Today I got the kids to add their finishing touches and I filled in the canyon walls and sky. Then just now I finished getting it taped to Evelyn's enclosure. The paper sucks to color on and tears easy but it turned out.

My heat lamp is off for the photo op.

That is really cool! :)

I knew I should have done this sooner! Normally Evelyn goes between her bars and her hids. Since I put the paper up, she has been hanging out on her boards. She is there still now after being feed.

It seems too that she has been checking out the scenes colored on the paper. I think she likes the rainbow.

She appreciates fine art! :)

I thought Evelyn was in shed even though she ate her rat the other day and I never saw her eyes glazed over. She had a perfect shed that I found today. I broke out the scale and Wow. 2100 to 2900 grams. I may need to also find a new way to weigh her lol. I might see how long she is now if I get a moment to attempt to measure her. It is also time to get her some new hides so that she does not look like a square turtle.

She looks good.

My younger Coastals recently shed. Neither one got cloudy eyes. The only reason I knew that they were going into shed is because their skin got darker and they both acted dead to the world for almost a week.

Now my older Coastal, Lizzy, always get milky Zombie eyes. As seen below.

http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/12...ded70a2df8.jpg

Her eyes are actually more cloudy than it looks due to direct light shining in her eyes.

Your girl Evelyn is looking fit and trim there Fire. I like her perches too. Which size RBI hides are those?

Looking good!

Both of you guys have some nice looking snakes.

I am curious to see what Evelyn's length is.

My coastal/most likely jungle is a touch over 6 feet at 2.5 years old. Believe it or not she has eaten a 1 pound or slightly under rabbit. I'm still debating on placing her for a true locality Brisbane coastal from Nick Mutton.

It may or may not happen though. My daughter started crying when I brought it up.

I agree that carpets are a little tougher to tell when a shed is coming on. I can spot it weeks out with the royal and boa constrictor.

Congratulations and he looks awesome. I have not checked yet to see if you have done so but you need a follow along thread for him.
If he has an good personality, you are really going to like having a bredli.

How and where would I do that. He has an amazing personality very curious and calm. Thank you.
