New Addition - 2018 Hypo Bredli

Picked up this adorable little guy from Casey Cannon today. He was originally produced by Midwest Serpentarium in July 2018. He is a full blooded hypo male Morelia bredli. His name is Oz.

As soon as he settles in and eats for me I’ll get some
better pics. He looks absolutely amazing when he fires up. I’m in love.

I had to rearrange his tub to put in a few new items that just arrived so I snapped a few pics in the morning sunshine while I had him out. His colors show a lot better in these pics. The blues are incredible - I hope they stay as he matures.

Update:

Oz took his first meal for me today, a f/t small adult mouse. Good sign he’s settling in well.

Oz has officially been with me a week! He’s eaten, pooped, and passed urates. I’ve kept handling to a minimum thus far but I will begin increasing the frequency and/or duration a bit now that I feel he is getting settled.

I absolutely love his curious personality. He will stretch his body straight toward the top of my head to try to climb me like a tree [emoji23]He is very different in demeanor from any other snake I have previously kept. He is not necessarily defensive, but he is a little jumpy if I make sudden movements, and in general he seems to be more prone to speedy slithering than my laid-back ball pythons and boas have been; however, I have no doubt he will grow out of that as he continues to acclimate to his setup and gains size. I’ve begun hook training him by gently stroking him with a small snake hook before I get him out for handling or cage maintenance.

Definitely looking forward to expanding my collection with more Morelia in the future.

Getting comfortable enough with Oz to let go of him for a bit and allow him to explore. Was really cool to see how nimble he was while climbing. WAY different from my ball python, who now seems uncoordinated and fat [emoji23]


Sorry for the picture overload. I love taking shots of him!

Not an overload, keep 'em coming!

Really great pics

I thought some of you might be interested in seeing his current set-up.

He’s in a VE 108-23 tub with two small Reptile Basics hides, plastic foliage to provide extra cover, a ceramic water dish, and a 3D printed perch from Specialty Enclosure Designs. The substrate is a recycled paper liner from cageliners.net.

He spends most of his time resting on the perch, and generally only uses his hides the day after he eats. Depending on how fast he grows I expect this will be his enclosure for at least 6 months or so, then I plan to upgrade him to a 56qt tub that is 12” high so he can have more room to seek elevated areas. Eventually he will have a large PVC cage; either 4x2x3 or 6x2x3 depending on how big he ends up getting.

Gorgeous Hypo Bredli and a sweet looking setup. Everything he needs. I really like that perch. Very nice outdoor pics too. You just can't beat Morelia.

What he said ^^^^^^

Here’s Oz in his favorite hangout spot. He is looking a little chunky because he ate on Monday night.

Oz has been hanging out in his warm hide for the past two days, which is very uncharacteristic of him. He’s also looking a little dull. I have a feeling he is about to go into blue. We’ll see!

Aaaaand my suspicions were correct.

Can’t wait to be able to update with his post-shed pics. I don’t think I’ve been been so excited for a snake to shed. I am sure his colors are gonna pop!




Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

He looks great. Even in shed👍

Woke up to a perfect shed!

He’s now weighing in at 140 grams.

Today is Oz’s first birthday! It was an absolutely beautiful day (high of 83* - which is cool for Georgia in July!) so I took him out to let him explore and get some commemorative pics.

He is growing nicely. 194 grams at his most recent weigh-in. He is flighty in his cage but a doll once he is out. He met his first human child today while he was outside and he acted as curious and calm as ever, showing no signs of defensiveness or aggression. To the kid’s credit, they were very gentle and respectful as well. [emoji23]

WOW!!

One of my favorite carpet species.

I love the look of that snake. There are only 3 snakes on my wish list and the Bredli is one of them.

Oz was looking particularly radiant today. One of the cool things about the hypos is that they fire up and down, sort of like Beardies and Cresteds. I’ve heard Papuan Carpets do this as well.
