Boger,
As someone who has seen what Katie and I, and Yafe, went through when we first got him, and sees how healthy and vibrant he is now, I really appreciate that.
I think many people who have the means and desire could have saved Yafe, but I am really happy he ended up with us. Good fortune for all!
Re: Yafe - Albino Carpet - FINAL - Progression Thread
Yep, Bog you are absolutely correct about the growth rate of snakes. They grow throughout their lives slowing ever so slightly as they age. It’s known as “ indeterminate growth”.
:D
Re: Yafe - Albino Carpet - FINAL - Progression Thread
Here are some pics of Yafe. He's still growing a little, but I am not sure how much. He's easily 6ft now and I imagine he will thicken up but not get much longer. The breeder guessed he wouldn't be more than 6ft. We will see. Still a cool guy.

Re: Yafe - Albino Carpet - FINAL - Progression Thread
It’s fine if he gets bigger. He’s a chill guy and I have plenty of food because of two BI’s and a dwarf BC. So it’s not like I’ll have to order food just for him.
I am glad I went with the 4x2’ and not a 3x2’ though. The other snakes in the stack aren’t complaining either.

You may see another foot of growth in the next year or two.

He only got Yafe in 2018- :D I'd say easily another foot & a half, for sure, in coming years. Likely more, ultimately, & depending on a long lifespan, wouldn't you? :cool:
I just read a source that says they're known to get up to 14 feet!? :O LOL -I knew there was a reason I never looked into carpet pythons very far...

Great news! Katie/SunshineWalker and I decided on another addition.
Below are pictures from the breeder of Yafe, our new, about 1 1/4 year old Irian Jaya and Darwin Hybrid Albino (Het Granite) Carpet Python (his birthday is June 2nd, 2017)! ....
