I still think your Olive beats them all but thats just me :D I do like that little albino one and the jungles though.

Macklots pythons bet Olive IMO lol ;)

Re: What's not to love?
@ Sauzo- Don't get me wrong the Olive is great but he's gonna be a bit more than a handful in a few more years. This boy is a MONSTER when it comes to food. He's still mostly on mediums but can smash a large rat effortlessly.

They are nice but personally i have really started liking the clean patternless or low pattern stuff like Olive pythons and goldenchild phantom retics or even just plain goldenchild with the strip of little pattern along the dorsal.
Dont get me wrong, i still love crazy pattern stuff but i have no patternless or low pattern stuff so i've been liking them lol.

Damn you had me sold after the first group, very nice. Yes definitely some beautiful pythons. The first one is absolutely gorgeous. So was the first runt. Thanks for sharing.

Oh I hear you there saw a Super Motley reticulated python a snake that was formed in dreams lovely on ever level ;)

Zig,
EVERYTHING is sensational.
I'm envious and love the way you stay true to the "down under" pythons.
You are a scrub candidate if I ever saw one.
The feed response seems to be intense and widespread amongst the larger, leaner more active pythons.
I had Jewel out this afternoon and I thought of you.
LOVE that Bredli sir!
-
Re: What's not to love?
@ Sauzo- Adult Olives range from 8-12 ft. So I'm thinking I'll end up with a 10 footer.
@ Gio- Jewel is definitely one of my forum favorites. She helped push me further over the edge into Morelia. I'd also LOVE to find a CBB Moluccan Scrub but haven't had any luck. I've got something else cooking though. ;)

10 feet isnt too bad.
Is Ziggy working on a Black headed Python or Woma!!!?? :D
Man, i was pretty close to pulling the trigger on a Woma actually. Saw a guy on Kingsnake that had a clutch of them and had them up for sale. They were so tiny and so cute. I almost caved and got one for my spare T8.......but i really need that chest freezer.....plus i still do kind of want another GTP or ETB and if i pull the trigger on that woma, means no GTP or ETB.

Whatever one I'm looking at for the moment is what I like the best...they're all gorgeous! The carpets are stunning, but so's that Olive! :love: (too big for me tho-
my 'granite phase' Antaresia maculosa is a similar color but only THINKS she's that big-)

Do it JM!!!! You deserve it!!! Dont deny yourself the privilege of being one of the elite!!!!
And i know, I'm a bad influence....i've always had no self control lol.

Re: What's not to love?
The kids are looking KILLER, Zig!! That is one super impressive group there!

Re: What's not to love?
Great collection tree el ziggy, all look so cool and healthy,
my boas hate being on shiny surfaces like the floor or the table as they have no grip and tend to hunker down to try get some traction

The carpets look great!!! The hardwood does too!!
The snakes and the house look great, Zig!!
So many people share their collections and I almost always have one or two that "jump out" as my favorites.
But your collection, I seriously can't pick a favorite. I guess if there's a gun to my head I pick the Bredli, or jungles, or olive...wait, Bredli, no, jungles, ugggh, Bredli for sure, I think....
Hahaha, you already know I love your taste in snakes!
They look great! Hope the move is going well and the fam is settling in nicely.
Thanks for sharing, as always! :gj:

Jungles for the win! Gawd - so gorgeous.
And you two better spill it, it's no fair keeping secrets! @El-Ziggy, @jmcrook

Those are some gorgeous snakes! I'm completely jealous of your collection, especially not-little-for-long olive!
Cant wait till I have my own place, only then will I be able to dive into the amazing world of Morelia!

Awesome looking carpets el-ziggy! What is the albino one?
Since everyone else is being so secretive I'll share some of my upcoming plans. I'm currently working on getting/waitlisted for an axanthic IJ. Also recently I got on the waitlist for a Garrett Hartle retic.
-
Re: What's not to love?
@ 67- The albino carpet is a bit of a mutt. She's part albino Darwin / part zebra if I recall correctly. Ir sounds like you've got some beauties in the works too.

An axanthic IJ is going to be a gorgeous animal!!! I've tried looking for some axanthics carpets myself, but I think they're above my pay grade.

Re: What's not to love?
@ Craig- The move went well and we're settling in nicely. Even though I can't find my roku remote for the stupid/smart tv in my bedroom :mad:! I'm really looking forward to finishing up the critter room. I want a nice sleeper sofa and I'm good.

Even if she is a mutt as you put it she is still gorgeous! The critter room looks nice btw.
Craig - The carpet I originally planned on getting was an axanthic jag or a tiger jag. After I happened into my granite IJ I realized I like smaller snakes and the initial cost could be justified when calculating the housing and feeding cost of a coastal. Hopefully things can work out in obtaining the next IJ.

Re: What's not to love?
Thanks Rich. He was easy to get off the banister. Getting them out of trees is a totally different story. :)

Your cage room is really nice too. My wife and I have the same color walls, trim and carpet here are home. However, the snakes don't get the privilege of staying on the main floor.
I'm pretty much digging everything you have going on there!

Re: What's not to love?
Thanks a lot Gio. If only I had your cage decorating skills! I'd be pretty stoked. My enclosures need a major makeover. The challenge is I started out with colubrids so I bought a few T8s. Then I fell head over heels for carpets and rehomed my two kings. I still miss them but I realized I prefer working with larger animals. Now I have to reconfigure my caging needs and available space. I have one dedicated critter room and the three new additions are in a guest room for QT. Mama bear only let's me keep one snake in our room but between us that's probably gonna change. That's why now is a great time to close the collection and upgrade my enclosures. That's another reason I went with a couple of boas. Since they grow slower I'll have a chance to gradually add larger enclosures. I foresee a few 6 and 8 footers in my future. Woo Hoo!

Re: What's not to love?
I just realized you got a nice little carpet python team. Keep up the good work I don't see adult albino carpet pythons that much so im looking forward to it.

Very good!
The backgrounds and perches are pretty simple. The backgrounds do cost a bit though if you go with a higher quality unit.
I think your cages look great.

Thanks Ricky. I haven't fed him a rabbit yet. He eats mostly medium and large rats but can easily eat jumbo rats. I just try to keep him lean and mean. :)
-
Amethystine next?
Edit that is a scrub python I guess lol.
Great carpets, is the last one a morph?
-
Re: What's not to love?
-
Re: What's not to love?
Thanks Justin. Chomper is a caramel coastal.
You're right about Morelia Amethistina and scrub pythons being synonymous. I forget they're in the Morelia family sometimes. :)
Not quite as chill as a carpet.
This boy is a live wire.

How often do you feed your adult Carpets?

Thanks brother Dave. My adult carpets get fed every 2-3 weeks on average during the warmer months and every 4 weeks during the colder months. I could probably feed them every 4 weeks all year round.
-
WOW!
Everything is looking good Zig.
I am in the heart of wrestling season with my son and don't get on the boards too often but I'm always curious to see what you have cooking.
I'm happy I checked in!
I want to hear more about the scrub!
-
Re: What's not to love?
I forget when the change was made, but scrubs actually changed from being Morelia species to Simalia along with Boelen’s Pythons and the various scrub subspecies. Either way, you’ve got a real looker there, Ziggy. Hope he mellows out before he becomes too formidable [emoji6]
