New JCP

I have a new (0.0.1) JCP... little bastard tagged me 5 times while I was holding him at the Repticon. :)

Pics to come soon.

I just bought a 5' irian jaya carpet and she makes me mighy nervous.

Here he(she) is! His(her) name is Digit, I think...

Why thank you! This is my first... and it is the first time I will have no problems leaving a new snake alone for a week to adjust - he tries to bite *everything!*

Looks more Coastal to me. Nice looking carpet!

Ya know... I was thinking that at the show, but the breeder insisted it was a JCP. Do you think he(she) will still yellow up a bit for me?

Hard to say, carpets are deceptively dull as babies...but sometimes they will surprise you!
If this is a jungle jag sibling, you could very possibly see some yellows :)

I agree it's got coastal influence for sure. I'm thinking you've got an intergrade in your hands there (not that there is anything wrong with that, just letting you know what I think you have!)

My coastal definitely has some yellows on him, but they're a far cry from trophy jungles and diamond/jungle intergrades.

Oh I hope she yellows up a bit for me. :) Do either of you have pictures of your adult coastals or coastal intergrades? I would be curious to see them.

No matter what she/he is, though, I love the little demon child. :)

(Edit: The breeder also said that he thought there was some diamond in the mix as well... I must just have a cute little mutt!)

Well, it is a boy! :D

And I am happy to say that the fecal direct and fecal float came back negative for parasites. Woot.

(ps: bump for pics of adult coastals and jag sibs)

Nice little JCP, I also have a mean little Irian Jaya but I handle her with gloves on till I feel comfortable bare handed.

Aw! IJs are cute. :)
So far I have had luck by pulling him out of his tank with the hook and gently setting him down in my open hand. It is working so far, but I really don't mind being bitten while he is this small.
