Big girl shed

So I've had this girl for a few months an last night she shed I think she's about seven feet long but the shed is 7.5 feet long do they stretch?http://img.tapatalk.com/d/12/12/05/6ype3ady.jpg
When I found her starting.

Took her out and got a few pics. The bad looking spot on her nose is all better now. http://img.tapatalk.com/d/12/12/05/u5ugadaz.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/12/12/05/8u9ysy7e.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/12/12/05/ary2e9u4.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/12/12/05/amyny6u3.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/12/12/05/dymanury.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/12/12/05/memynypy.jpg
She's so fun to handle ha fast as crap so hard to get pics, sorry for phone pics too.

She's a big girl and very pretty. :gj:

It's awesome how pretty and like-new they come out after a shed. Gorgeous snake !

Thank you it's her first shed with me, she's a rescue an had a bad spot from rubbing on her nose but its all good now ha the nose on the shed is like twice as thick as rest of the shed. She's my first bigger snake and I love her handling time is exciting haha she no longer needs a snake hook so I'm pumped bout that too :)

ok I am going to ask the silly question because although I know some species I dont know them all what kind is she

There are no silly questions :) she's a carpet python. From what I've been told a coastal carpet but that could be wrong still new to the different kinds. She's about seven feet long and was a handful in the beginning but has become quite nice just fast and likes to roam when she's out.

My husband and I where looking at her and couldnt determine here breed but that explains it I have dealt with reticulated, Burmese and balls and red tail boas and tree boas

She's my first big snake and she's fun lol one day ill have a dwarf retic but might need another carpet python first :) i still need to figure out how often she like to eat tho but making progress with her these last few months

She looks good. On a side note, dude, you should vaccuum that chair.:p

Rofl I know I had just cleaned my rat tanks ealier that day and spilled some outta their little house all over the place

Sheds do stretch. That's why you can never tell a snakes length by the shed. My 6 1/2 foot jungle carpet had a shed over 10 feet once.

It could be a coastal but from the color to me it looks more like a jungle carpet.

Glad to see she's settling in for you and looking good, I remember your first post from when you got her. Thanks for sharing!

Stripe down the back is consistent with Coastal markings. Could have other influence since blood lines get crossed far too often. . .

Nice Coastal, my female is an inch or two shy of 9ft now I've had her for 2 years now. She's a good snake never bit me, but has tried during feeding time haha! she'll actually come out of her boaphile and chase me for her jumbo rat.

I hope she gets to about nine feet I like this snake alot ha she's come far since first getting her too she used to try and eat me but now she'll let me carry her.

Carpets are funny, once you work with them long enough you can read them like a book. I've been keeping carpets for 2 almost 3 years now and I can read pretty much any carpet python I come across. It's funny I clean a friends collection and he keeps all carpets and swears they are all mean as heck. I can go in there, pull them out clean and change water like it's no big deal. The look on his face was priceless when I pulled out his "meanest" Jungle carpet and put her in a bin with ease so I could clean her cage.

Ya I'm having fun learning to ready her they are for sure different then balls lol I haven't been bit yet so I'm happy about that
