hello everyone I need your help please on a carpet phyton

hello my name is Annie and I was giving a carpet phyton morph from my lil brother for Xmas he know they love I gave for snakes all types I don't have a problem with setting up there tanks or feeding them but my problem, is he is a beast lol that's also what I named him or her don't know yet my problem is I don't know what type of, carpet phyton it is, can someone plz help me he is 7 feet long

That doesn't really help. Many carpets can be 7 feet long. A pic maybe? And also, maybe try to read over and edit, because reading the first sentence was a challenge in itself.

By "Beast" do you mean just big or that he strikes at you trying to bite?

We really need pictures to give you accurate information. However, at 7 feet long chances are that it is a Coastal Carpet or an intergrade/mix with Coastal in it.

What is the age?

No I named him beast because he loves to eat lol
And I do have pics of him on the site too

To post a pic you have to load it to a place like Photobucket. Then copy the "img" code and paste it into the comment box here. When you hit the "Submit Reply" button it will magically turn into a pic in the thread.

I went to your profile page to look at the pics.

Best I can tell is he appears to be some type of Coastal or Coastal intergrade. And he sure is pretty. I love the colors.

If he is truly silver/grey, he may be Xanthic. But don't quote me on that one, I'm not very good at calling morphs.

Congrats

You're welcome.

It looks like a good sized healthy coastal you have there.

Much better pic, not an Xanthic.

He is a great looking snake!

He is a sweet heart but my problem is he is use to eatting live and im not in nyc to be able to get him his jumbo cat looking rats because the rats in rhode island thats they sell are lg frozen rats im wondering how he would take it will it stress him out because of eatting frozen

Frozen should not bother it.

All seven of my snakes were live feeders only when I got them, four of them being Carpets. Previous owners swore up and down that they would only eat live. They all eat frozen now.

I believe that skipping a feeding attributed greatly to my success.

When I got my BRB I was told the same thing. He has been eating F/T for a good time now. I think some just don't do it right.

I agree with both the above posts. WAIT IT OUT and your snake will eat.

I have a 2.5 year old coastal mutt/mix that has taken a 1 pound F/T rabbit. You don't have to get hung up on one type of prey. I have found quail will be taken with great vigor by stubborn eaters and you could scent the F/T rat with quail to keep the rat streak going.

Give it time and you will see the conversion.
