    Colin's got one of the biggest jags I've ever seen, may be even one of the biggest ones out there! Sure is a beauty!

    My girl's still a good ways away from the 'big' category but she's working towards it :D

    my current lack of a camera has me without recent pics, these are from back in june:

    http://www.ball-pythons.net/forums/s...ighlight=kitty

    I posted some more recent ones but I forget which thread they were in.

    Edit:

    lol I couldn't remember which thread they were in at first because it was on a different forum!
    Pic taken sometime around the end of september:

    Ugh...why did I start this thread?! It hasn't cured the bug at all! In fact, its made it much, much worse. :gj:

    lol it happens.

    If you haven't checked it out yet, you might be interested in checking out www.moreliapythons.com

    This comes with a warning that it, too, will make your carpet bug much much worse as well, but if you're considering a carpet or want to find others interested in 'em it's certainly worth checking out.

    I hope it's ok for me to give them a shoutout, they're certainly a sister snake community to bp.net :D If an admin/mod thinks it's not ok go ahead and delete this post.

    she may not "big" but shes the biggest i got, and shes got the best comparison photo ever

    http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5.../3-17-09-1.jpg

    shes bigger now tho shes over 5 foot now but i love that picture. had to cut the rest of the paper off and unravel the cardboard to get her out. gave her a A for effort for trying to help me clean her cage.

    Thanks for the website, but for sanity's sake I'm gonna have to refrain from it for now. Once I can actually get a carpet I'll check it out. :D

    And that is one gorgeous girl!

    Keep the pictures coming people!

    Excellent carpets. I'm not a huge carpet guy but pics like that make me change my mind.Carpets have locals or geograpic diffrences right? If so what kind are those?

    Re: Pictures of your BIG Carpets!!!
    yes, mine are jungle carpets(JCP). There are also coastal, jaguar, iran jaya(IJ), diamond, inland and the coveted albino. Im no expert on them, as jungles are my favorite, so i may be missing on this a little.

    I believe when you say albino, you mean 'darwin', which is the subspecies that the albino gene originated in.. I think. Darwins are pretty much nonexistant outside of australia, at least compared to the other localities.

    There are also northwestern and southwestern carpet pythons(again, pretty much nonexistant out of australia to the best of my knowledge), and you might as well toss bredlis in there though current terminology makes a distinction between them and all the other carpets.

    Coastal carpet pythons
    Jungle carpet pythons
    Irian Jaya carpet pythons
    Darwin (Northwestern) carpet pythons
    Southwestern carpet pythons

    I've seen tons of carpets but never got bit by the bug too bad.I really am drawn to the ones that are dark with a cream or yellow color to them.I think the ones I've always liked are Jungle and diamond. Does anyone have pics or possibly a link that would have picks and a description of the diffrences between the various types?
