the official carpet python census

consider yourself part of the club.. :)
so other than your winnings, you don't have any carpets?

Derek had a space problem so I had a few of his NG. Those are back with him. The Irian Female that I created the Carpalls with is out on a breeding loan. The rest all all Womas, Wall, and a Misc menagerie. Of found Ball pythons

gotcha... well then maybe you need a red coastal mate for the one you're getting... i know where you could find one. :)

If I could of swung It I:) would of.

Man there are some sweet looking carpets on this thread!!!
Here a few pics of mine.

Yes, many have told me that :)

The only large snakes that I'm interested in are RTBs, Bloods, and of course, Carpet Pythons. I've handled a big one twice (it was the same one, but who would notice?), and it was a nice experience. It also made me add them to my future snakes list.

I have 2

I'm currently organizing to get my 1st herp. I've always wanted a BP, but I've taken an interest in Carpets as well. I think BP's are nicer looking, but some carpets are attractive.

Here's my new baby. Aw, isn't it cute!!!!

Since I voted months ago that they were on my wish list......I got my first Carpet today! I'll post a couple of pics later on. Little IJ btw:)

WOOT WOOT! Welcome to the club! Post some pics now!!....I mean, PLEASE! :P

We have 4 Jungle Carpets....and LOVE them! Very cool. 'tude when they are young, but a great snake to handle and devilish looking to boot!

I find it ironic that I had voted in the original poll "I have no plans to keep carpets" and now am in possession of one.

...and find myself becoming more and more fascinated by them the more I'm learning about them....

oh boy, like I need more snakes.

Here are a few of mine....

Pretty cool snakes, but most seem a little big for me. My lifetime rule is to never keep anything that needs anything larger than a 4x2 and rats. No 6x3's or rabbits for me.

I dont hear of many breeders who feed their carpets rabbits? The ones I know all feed rats, and a 4'x2' enclosure can house an adult Jungle Carpet Python just fine. :)

Well then, maybe after college. The jaguars and hypo jaguars are mindblowing.

I only have one ball python but am considering getting something larger within this next year. I'd love to get a Jaguar. I hear the females can get up to nine feet but are not too heavy bodied so you can still handle them by yourself. Is that true?

yeah, if you know what you're doing it's not a problem... if you're inexperienced, then i would not recommend it i guess.

here's a large adult female coastal jag that's as big around as she'll get most likely... she's still growing longer though. i handle them by myself all the time.

I keep my JCP in a 3x2x2. He's doing great :)

I plan on sticking with my single Ball python for maybe a year before I would consider getting a larger snake. That will give me plenty of time to master the husbandry of of my ball plus research and prepare for a larger animal. That is a beautiful Jaguar you've got Colin. Does she have a good temperament? I was considering a Red tail boa but the Jaguar carpets seem more beautiful and manageable and less common as well.

Wow!!!

wow what are the red ones?
And did you let mama hatch her eggs or just put her in with them for the cute pic?

I cant believe how big they can get, glad I got a male so he should stay smaller. He's a jungle and my only one, had him just a week now. He is so cute and so far super friendly. He is also polite when it comes to taking his food. he strikes but not hard, just sort of gently takes his mouse.

This is Stang

thanks, she's a peach... unless you smell like a rat, she gives nothing but love.

Does anyone know where you can get coastal jaguars in Canada? It costs a ridiculous amount of money to bring a snake across the border due to CITES, U.S. Fish & Wildlife, then you need an Import / Export License, a veterinary inspection, you have to get a special shipping crate made up, and it all has to be shipped according to IATA Regulations, then it could take 3 to 5 months for all the paper work to clear from both countries. I realize that all of these procedures are in place for good reason and I totally respect that but we're talking about $5000 before the cost of the animal. If you are a breeder and you're bringing up a number of animals then the cost is worth it or if you are rich; which I am not. So I guess what I'm asking is; Does anyone know of a good place to get coastal jaguars in Canada?

jeff favelle.

Thanks. I'll check him out.

:D Just picked up an Iran Jaya feamale baby at the local reptile show this weekend. I will post pictures soon!

well less than a year ago I voted that I have no plans to keep carpets but now I'm looking at them pretty hard. I just have to get the 'ok' from the girlfriend to get a large snake.

so can i change my vote now that I have one? lol.

I don't currently have any Carpets as I am really attached to my Balls and the couple Red Tails I currently have. I would love to add a m/f pair to my collection but I REALLY have to draw the line and just concentrate on what I have. I will have 2 Salmon RedTails I might breed later down the road as well, and i may try my hand at breeding my Balls. If I do that, there is no way I can find the room for a pair of Carpet Pythons.
They surely are gorgeous though and I would LOVe to own a pair! maybe someday when i get more room.

Where abouts in canada are you looking?

I just bought a coastal carpet python a few weeks ago and I love it.

:( I want one so bad!

I don't really plan on purchasing one, just because of two things:

I don't feel like getting nipped each time I try to pick the snake up or when I'm handling it. Never really enjoyed being nipped.. been nipped 5 times. More than half of that was caused by Mr. Meany King Snake..

I'm really into Ball pythons, and hope to have a good collection with beautiful morphs I will produce and purchase.

My 08 coastal carpet python has never struck at me. There are plenty of young carpets out there that are great to handle, I just made sure to ask about temperment of that particular snake before I bought her.

We just got our first Jungle Carpet Python baby today at the Tampa reptile show. We LOVE HIM!

My CCP hasn't bitten me at all. I know carpets can be nippy, but I think they have a bit of a bad rap too because lots of carpets will stop bitting is handled properly. When young they can be nippy but most will tame down with age and handling.

**BUMP**
some more coastal carpets... :)

i voted on this a while ago i think but now my original vote is incorrect as i now OWN a CP. :D

She caught my eye when i was at the Havre De Grace show, i knew what i was looking for for the most part, but went with an older animal (as opposed to a hatchling) because i can't for the life of me get their color changes and the parents werent around. She's a striped Jungle x coastal cross i believe. And she does have a full stripe. She's calming down with handling and im sure i'll get to the point where there is no need for the glove but she does like to go for the face when she's in a mood..

she's still pretty itty bitty, heres a pic of me being a pansy and holding her with a glove. Her name is (Lady) Prestor.

her little head marking looks like a bomb lol
