Hitting A Stretch

This girl has been a fairly irregular eater. She's a nut, sometimes she'll take F/T other times pre killed or even more annoying only live. She has gone on 1 month plus intervals for her feeding schedule, and shorter periods other times.

She'll take rats, quail and oddly F/T rabbits now and then.

This month she must be on a growth spurt. She took a F/T jumbo rat 11 days ago and took a live refusal from the royal today, and she looks like she wants more.

I may actually have a good sized coastie after the summer ends!

She looks great. Is fun to watch them grow and enjoy personalities. Don't have a carpet so will enjoy from here.

Jewel looks great Gio! How big is she now?

She will be 5 years old June 28.
I’d say right about 7”.

I’ll have to get the tape out to be sure.

Very beautiful, both snake and set up. I hope she keeps feeding for you, I am patiently waiting for my boys to start really breaking their fast. Best of luck.

Awwwww you have a "teacup" carpet. :P (Sorry, couldn't resist hehehe).

In all seriousness though, she is beautiful! :)

I love me some Jewel. Good to see her appetite picking up Gio. Tis the growing season. My male coastal slowed down last winter but he's going strong now too. Enjoy it while we can. :)

YES,,,

Annoying as it gets when you are trying to get as far away from royal pythons as you can, but she's becoming exciting in her older age.

The good thing is I have a retic that strikes the head of his prey and is half way done eating after the strike because he takes so much in on the initial strike.


I'm not sure how scrubs and olives operate, but the retic scene is something to behold LOL!

That said I absolutely LOVE carpets of any locale and size !!

I'll measure her to see later today. I know Wallace is longer now.

Jewel doesn't have the big triangle carpet head yet, and she is very lean still even at almost 5.

What a cool setup !!

Thank you,

I try to make every cage somewhat naturalistic, or at least my interpretation of naturalistic is.

The carpet cage is in the middle here, below is the boa's and the top is the royal's.

I just measured Jewel and she is about 7 feet long on the button! Maybe an inch more, but she's a 7 footer and doesn't seem at all large to me.

I finally got the MAC issues cleared up and have a few nice RECENT pictures to add to this post.

Jewel slammed this rat, and spent a good deal of time exploring afterward.

Again, she's a coastal mixy/mutt. Likely jungle and something else mixed in. Nick Mutton actually told me one of the parents of Jewel had some diamond traits, but we are all in a guessing game with carpets that have no locality data.

Jewel's mother was found in a bag on the side of the freeway, I was told.

She's a carpet and that's cool enough for me.

Its interesting how yellow she looks in photos, she's not at all in person.

Another note from Nick and Justin's book; The coastals of certain locales have a flatter head. Jewel seems to be in that category.

There is something very cool about the heads of carpet pythons. The heat pits, the pattern and the shape make them rather unique.

Hope you like her newer pictures.

She's 5 years old this Thursday and right at 7 foot 1 inch!
