Cool Calm Carpets
-
Wow, you've got my top 3! All incredible. Is your coastal a Brisbane locality?
-
Lovely Zig,
Wow the Bredli head is getting big!
Such a cool collection there.

Re: Cool Calm Carpets
All beautiful creatures but I especially love the jungle...what a stunner <3 thanks for sharing!

Re: Cool Calm Carpets
Thanks Y'all. I love me some Morelia :).
@ Rock- The coastal is a caramel. He's getting a little dull so he'll probably be shedding soon. All of those guys came from Nick too. ;)

Nice! Caramel was my second guess. Yours is stunning.
I was super tempted by all of his caramels. A striped caramel was sold before I pulled the trigger a little over a month ago. Then I was distracted by his Brisbane and Axanthic and I was really in trouble! Tough call for me to pick the Bredli over a Super Caramel Jag he still has. I think that one is going to be beautiful!!
No doubt, he produces great stuff.

That Bredli will get pretty darn big. The males combat in the wild, and they can certainly attain the same sizes as females.
The local reptile store here has a pair of Bredli, and they are as thick as the boas.
Nick has great stuff and he's very well researched.

Re: Cool Calm Carpets
I know that Bredli are supposed to be among the larger species of Morelia but my guy is actually growing at a much slower pace than both my my jungles and my coastal. I've had my Bredli for a year and 2 weeks now. He was 6 months old and 52g when I got him on 3/1/16. He tipped the scales at 610g on 3/10/17. Contrast that with my coastal who was an 85g yearling when he arrived on 9/2/15. He was over 1542g on 10/15/16. Same with my jungle, 31g on arrival 9/22/15. Not even a year later on 8/20/16 he was 1020g. They're all on very similar feeding regiments that I modify as they grow. I wonder if the Bredli grow and mature a little slower than other ssp. I'm curious to see the differences over time.

I am also curious as to what you find.
My coastal is long, but so lean. She maybe be pushing 7 feet (6.6 inches or a tab more) but she is nothing compared to my boa.
I know she is a mutt so I'll see where she ends up.
I'll bet your Bredli grows a tad slower. I'll have to re-read the book and see what their average rate is.

Gorgeous snakes and setups !!!!!!
I like all of them :)

Re: Cool Calm Carpets
Wow, Zig, looking great!!
What size meal is Trinity taking now?

Re: Cool Calm Carpets
Thanks Rock. She eats medium rats every 7-10 days. Sometimes I'll give her chicks too.

Love it man!

Thanks, Zig, your husbandry is on point. They all look strong and healthy.
