Yafe at about 800G (795G dry to be exact). He's doing great.

I can't believe how much brighter his yellow is than adult albinos in the species I have seen. I've admired carpets for a while, but never seen an albino adult somehow. What a handsome guy!

Has he been lifting weights? He's getting positively beefy! :D This noodle has come a long way! :gj:

He still has a little growing to do, but his yellows are very deep and rich. He was much more orange and peach colored when he was younger, but although more yellow, the richness is still there. There is still some remnants of the orange coloring on his head and neck area.

Nice looking snake.

Really good size too.

Growing boy! He loves his perches!

Thank you JM!

He's got personality to match. He's really a great guy. He has his huffy moments, when I touch him with the hook and then my hand to get him out, but he gets over those quick. He's never struck at me, or shown any aggression, especially once out of his tank. I really lucked out - he's a dream.

Saw him yawn the other day and I am sure that even at 800G, he could do some damage with those curved daggers! Good thing most carpet pythons grow out of the bitey phase, and according to the breeder, he never really had one. Loved his oranges and asked for the best eater/nicest snake combo. He was over a year when I got him and the breeder had handled him a little bit, but still.

He also developed that massive RI within 24 hours of having him (Fedex lost him for a day in the cold). Katie and were worried that once he felt better, he might be a little more aggressive, but not at all. Stayed a sweetie and never held against us the injections and nebulizer treatments, etc. What a mensch. He eats great, but is calm as can be. Just what we wanted.

Handsome fellow too. Katie said tonight that she cannot believe how handsome and stunning he is. He's grown so much and was so sick after we got him, she really cannot believe what a success story he is. She's really pretty indifferent with the reptiles, especially the snakes, and the bigger they are, the less interested she is. She's not afraid, just not her thing. So that comment coming from her was huge, not to mention, she GAVE him the injections. I held, she injected.

Couldn't be happier with how Yafe has turned out. Hoping for many more years with this great CP!
