Excellent display animals, beautiful colors and patterns and a nice size.

I really like these and you've got a beauty!

Keep in mind these guys can take larger meals. Mine is on small rats, and has taken a medium at just under 1.5 years old. You'll be up to smalls soon I'll bet.

I've had a few posts where I'm my biggest fan too LOL!

Yeah, I think once they are rolling, feeding issues are rare. The reptile store I frequent has 2 Bredli's and they are tanks. They are one of the larger Ssp of carpet, and seem to like to chow down.

Nice pictures. I'll bet you're excited every time you check on it!

And that shed really made the colors pop.

Yea i have serpent withdrawls when i am at work (48 hour shift) and usually can not wait to ineract with the 3 that i have when i get home. I have to hold or do whatever with Evelyn last due her being quarantined.

Well I am a huge bredli fan they are my favorite species. Nice to see other Bredli lovers on this forum. It seems like morelia do not get much love here. Bredli are so beautiful in my opinion. Your set up looks really cool. I am in process in building new enclosures for my pair. Let's see more pictures.

I actually was leaning more towards getting a jungle /jungle diamond mix but when i got the green light from the boss, the selection at the fireepxo was limited. Not wanting to lose the chance for another snake i got the bredli instead. The species was on my list to get one day. I am happy it worked out the way that it did though because she is pretty awesome but still somewhat shy. The boss does not know yet that they get kind of big lol.

I think other subspecies of the morelia are represented here but no so much for the bredli i think or members are/have not been talking about them for some reason. I joined a couple of morelia facebook groups and they even have slower traffic and many members are from down under.

I am about to have a month off from work because my 3rd rugrat is due this month. So when i can emerge from the newborn sleep coma that they can cause i plan on working on figuring out the what, how, & where for a permanent enclosure for her.

What, i am taking a bath here! (Do bredli's like to soak?)

I have never seen either of mine do this. That's not to say they haven't though.

This is the first time i have seen her do this. My wife told me this is the 2nd or 3rd time she has seen her soak. Wheni can do day i will get her out to hold her and also check her out.

I'll check my carpet python book, but I believe I went through a chapter that stated one of the Ssp soaked and had a habit of eliminating it's waste in the water bowl.

Have you noticed any waste within a few days of the soaks?

My coastal has not been spotted fully soaking however one night she had her tail end in the bowl and the next day it was a toilet.

As a whole I don't think soaking is a typical behavior.

Check out temps and humidity in case something was accidentally adjusted.

If you suspect those damn mites, jump on the procedures to find and eliminate them.

She has a "present" for me when i get home from work like clock work. I feed her the day before my shift and when i get hole 2 days later it is waiting for pick up. She does not leave in her water bowel which is nice of her to do. Lol
