My new Bredli

From the main forum list, select "other pythons" then "morelia" . Then you need to select what you see to create a thread. Tapatalk for me has a blue icon in the lower right part of my screen.

Evelyn refused food the other day and even hissed a few times when I tried to feed her. She shed this morning. I got her out to weigh her. She has broke 3000g! I let her run around the den and on her enclosure some.

Wow, she's come a long way Fire. I'm getting a 5 month old male Bredli in a couple of weeks. I've heard they're a lot of fun to work with.

oh yeah, EL-Ziggy getting hooked on the Morelia thing! they're still my favorites.

@ Gio- Yeah, my new guy was produced by Nick Mutton too. I'm obviously a big fan of his work :). I finally ordered the Complete Carpet Python too. I guess some of my critters elders are in the book. It'll be nice to show them pictures of their family. ;)

@ Dennis- No doubt that Morelia is definitely the sweet spot for me. I'm afraid to think what things would have been like if I had started with them :). They're so amazing to watch.

The wife wanted to go the Aligator Farm today for mothers day. They have a female bredli.http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...329c1ba1e5.jpghttp://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...5d95dc812c.jpg
They also have a baby diamond carpet.Their bredli is in the underwater viewing area for Maximo, the croc.

Those Bredli grow into some very impressive adults fire. My guy is about 125g so we've got a long way to go!

My wife was like Evelyn is going to get that big? ...Evelyn is that big! Your will be there before you know it.

She looks lovely, my bredli had no issues switching to rats. He ate it the second i offered it. Hope it works out for you too.

Wow it has been a while since I have been on. Evlyn is still a eating machine. She shed not to long ago and is just above 3700g's. I think that is around 7 pounds in English.

I went to Daytona for the Breeders Expo. The wife almost got a Bp. She really liked a candino. I wish I would of had cash to just get it because she changed her mind. But that opened to door that I can get another snake so I am looking at anxethistic jags. I want a jungle but most seem to be coastals. With my luck if I got a coastal it would reach 12 feet and would be the last snake! Lol.

I found a website to print back grounds and replaced the sides of evelyn's tank from where the baby tore it off.

She looks awesome!! It's crazy to see how much she has grown. Good job :) I like the sides of the enclosure also. I'm sure it looks hommie for her haha. I'm pretty sure my next Morelia will be a Bredli. The more I see them the more I love them.

A 12 foot coastal is extremely rare. Your Bredli is only eclipsed in size by the coastals at the southern end of the range. Brisbane coastals are typically the biggest of the carpets. Bredli are certainly up there in size or can be. But they are average like most other carpets.

My coastal is 6.5 feet long and nowhere near the weight of your girl.

Jungles are very easy to find. Nick Mutton, Ed Lilley, Justin Julander and a host of other breeders have pure jungles.

However, Jungles and Coastals share the exact DNA according to the book THE COMPLETE CARPET PYTHON.

This is a 6.5 foot coastal that looks very jungle. She's my mutt. I'm sure there are endless combination possibilities in her makeup.

You, and practically everybody else would have no issues handling this snake.

Remember the giants are very rare.

Your snake is absolutely gorgeous BTW and I've been tossing around the thought of a Bredli or a Brisbane Coastal for my next go.

I am not as familiar with the Brisbane coastals and I am also bias, you need a Bredli!

It would still be my luck to get the "rare one". Bahhaaa







p.s. Nick has 2 males......

I saw some adult bredli's at the Breeders expo and they were asking 4-600 for each, 1 male and 1 female. I don't remember the exact amount but I did a double take when I saw that and could not believe it.

Oh trust me,,, I'm tossing things around, but I'm actually looking for some size. If I can't get it in carpets, I'm already inquiring about scrubs. I would love a 9-11 foot carpet python. I was hoping my girl who is from a 10 foot mother would be close. She is a terrible eater and I think she's pretty topped out.

There is a Bredli at our local reptile shop that is VERY interactive. He is almost cobra like in his movements.

I can see why you have a bias.

Why not grab another Bredli??

You scored big with your first!!

You need an Olive Python! I read that they are gentle giants. I would not mind and do want another bredli but I have a list of a few others that I would like to have before I get another of something that I already have since it is hard to persuade the wife to go along with "another snake".

I've looked into them too.

I really have a love for semi arboreal snake. Boa constrictors fed the proper way are great, carpets are even better and the scrubs even more-so. Olives don't have a prehensile tail although they can climb. I'm not interested in completely arboreal species, I find the mix of the two is what I fancy.

I never know what I'm going too see with my boa or carpet, yet even with perches, 99.9% of the time our royal is on the ground in her hide.

I'll take the first two any day!

So my list is Brisbane coastal,Suriname BC, a scrubby or an SD retic.

AND,,,, Bredli is probably #2 or 3 on that list. I love the carpets.

Your girl is looking good Fire. She's grown a lot.

The epic endevour of you getting your snake home reminds me of my first 3 ball pythons.

The first one I went to the pet store during 30 degree weather to get. I got there, bought him and realized the bus had just passed and the next was an hour away. So I just walked home with him (30 minute walk) in my hoody pocket, under 2 other coats and with my shirt under my hoody pulled up so he was right against my skin. He was absolutely fine when I got home, surprisingly enough, and temped at 80 degrees (a little low, but he wasn't as bad as I worried he would be).

The other 2 I got the day after the biggest drinking session of my life. Then the girl I went to the show with left her leopard gecko and corn snake in their little plastic tubs they send you home with in a cabin, in the sun. They survived miraculously, but my own snakes I took out of the tubs, in their littlr bags, and kept them under my shirt for 4 hours because she wanted to spend some time with thos dude in the cabin, while I hung out next door in the ac and watched TV with his family. Snakes stayed warm and cozy the whole time between my hand and my stomach.

Since then I've never had similar troubles (ordering online, and going with my roommates to the shows to pick animals up and go straight home). But, yeah, I just had flashbacks of those times with your story.

Good to see you pop in Fire. I really appreciate the update on Evelyn. Your Bredli was one of the influences that persuaded me to get one. My male seems to growing slower than my coastal or jungles but he's doing well. He was 52g when he arrived on March 1st and weighed 315g today. We'll have to introduce him to Evelyn in a couple of years. ;)

Evelyn made it through her first Hurricane last week. We did not have power for about 27 hours but I thought it would be out longer. Evelyn could have cared less since she was in shed.
She finally shed sometime this past Mon/Tues night. I got her out to weigh her today and to spot clean her enclosure. She has reached the 4k club, 4062 grams! In English that is a whopping 8.9552 pounds!!! She will also get her. First colossial sized rat from perfect prey for dinner.

Great thread, awesome pics. Thank you!

Thanks
I am back I college so that along with work and family keeps me busy so it has been a minute since I have posted. Evelyn is about 4500g if not more now. She is still in the tank since I have not worked on her permanent home much. I built her the tall and short pitches and she took to them with no problems.

Evelyn is looking great as usual Fire. How much and how often do you feed her now, and how large is her tank? I'm trying to figure out how large of an enclosure my male will need in the future. Best wishes with your studies too sir.

I am feeding her a rat every 1.5 -2 weeks. I ordered rats from pefect prey and it works out that she gets 4 jumbo rats then a colossal sized rat. Both are BIG rats so it works out for 1 to2 week schedule.

She is currently in a 120 aquarium that is considered a tall style. For your male, i would say that you will need height if you male likes to perch and width since he should be 6-8 feet long. Then it will be up to were you have room for a decent sized enclosure and your budget.

I am getting a male Bredli this week. Your pics and info give me a lot to look forward to.

Yeah I'm trying to decide if I should go with a 4x2 or 6x2 enclosure. I've talked to a few other keepers and breeders and they've said a 4x2 should be fine.

We have 4x2's for our carpets Ziggy and I'm regretting not getting 4x3's to be honest. They are no where near full grown but when they hang and eat sometimes they are against the ground. I think that in order to promote better muscle tone I should have gone taller.

Rock, congrats on the bredli and thanks for the complement on the thread. Bredli's are awesome.

Thanks Gio

Biglou, thanks for the help on cage size. I thin capets need room and bredli's need alittle more.

El, don't go too crazy but i would suggest the biggest you can afford or save up for that you have room for in your home. To me, any carpet is a show piece but a bredli is a center piece, if that makes sense and i dont even have a regular carpet.

I am trying to negotiate (wife) to get a carpet though.......lol

They are showing up for me. I did not check all 9 pages but the ones i did are loading the pictures.
Check your settings to see if that may be causing the issue. I have no clue.

Uggh, not good. Seriously affecting my ability to educate myself here.

I see the pictures when using the taptalk app. I logged in today by going through the website and I see the 404 not found for the pictures. I do not know why that is happening. I suspect the album that the pictures has changed because most were inserted into the posts with taptalk.

I needed to clean miss prhiss's enclosure and I ended up seeing how long she is. I marked out a 10' string to use. I measured her 3 times with the string and had her lay by a tape measure to get an idea. It also somewhat confirmed the string. She is a pain to measure but she is now close to 8' long. I would say she is between 7.5 to 8'. She is now 10+ pounds as well. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...413a63fff1.jpg

Evenlyn looks fantastic FM! A good sized girl too. :)

Awesome snake, I only wish I could see the pics from the earlier posts so I could see how she grew up and how her colors have changed over time.

She looks superb!
