the official carpet python census

so with all the increased activity in the morelia section, i figured it'd be fun to take a little census on the matter...

whether you keep them now or you have no plans to keep carpets, feel free to respond as to why. :)

whoot first to vote!
i have a male and female Jungle...
=]
i plan on getting another within the next year

Im addicted to snakes.

All your snakes are belong to me!

Holla!!!

That was a yes by the way. I do plan to own some carpets.

Usually I'm not a fan of hybridization but some of the crosses (im not talking carpondros or anything really weird) are amazing.

Also, I feel there is a lot of untapped genetic potential for these medium sized pythons.

They are hardy and lay moderate sized clutches.

i want your snake!
my jungle is jealous of his stripes!! ahha

Not only do I keep carpets, they are the ones I have the most of and the biggest love for out of all my snakes.

We currently keep:
1.1 coastal
0.1 coastal type (don't know what her bloodline is)
1.1 coastal jag/Irian jaya sibs
3.2 Irian Jayas

I'll be adding in two more IJs this summer - an IJ jag female and an 08 female.

I don't think there's a better snake out there for someone to keep!

I have 2.4 Adult JCP's in my collection...I'll end up keeping 1.2 out of the two clutches that I produced this year...Can't beat a good looking Jungle...

Well, Colin, you know how I voted!! :D

dude, that last one is smokin!

whats its percentage?
looks like it has some diamond... =]

100% pure Python Pete JCP - No diamond blood...I'm not a fan of crosses, intergrades or hybrids...To be honest - I like my Vandeventer line JCP's better than the Python Petes...

Thanks! :P He needs to help out around the house some more...get a job or something...he could at least help throw me some nice striped babies! geeze is that too much to ask!??! :weirdface:rofl::gj::salute:

i just realized how scewed these numbers will be... since most people who bother to read the poll will be carpet owners... oh well, good chance for us to show of some carpets.

i agree, some of the PP's you see are amazing, but a lot of them have considerable browning. from what i've seen of the vandeventers, they're much cleaner.

i'll get some pics up tonite of some of my guys... their summer colors are startin' to pop!

i want one......they are lil bad A$$'s when they are little. I hear they calm down when the are older. is this true:snake:

haha yeah he'd prolly like it lol

I have a pair of Irian's. I was hoping for babies this year, but so far no luck on eggs.

I have 1.1 IJ's, no plans to breed them but that is subject to change!

I want one! but I'm gettin a BCI in a couple weeks and won't really have room for more than 2 snakes where I'll be living :/

I think I have about 60-70 carpets but I never count anymore. Here are a few of mine.

Nick...are ya going to have lil baby granites this season? :P

No, they bred a few times early on but nothing came of it. My female was borderline in size, they should be a lock for next season.

Nick

I've got 5 coastal carpets myself. They're big enough to breed, I just haven't gotten around to it yet. Maybe next year if Ive got the time.

that IJ looks quite a bit like a darwin IMO; with the smudgy head pattern and red coloration.
