Justin,


It's not about competition here, it's about sharing the animals that we share our lives with and love, and yours are gorgeous! Thank you for sharing pictures of them, I especially love your mojave!

Great looking snakes! That Bee is sweet!

Robins dead on ... no competition here ... just a bunch of people that are insanely passionate about ball pythons and love sharing and viewing pictures of beautiful animals ... looks like you're one of the crew!!! ;)

Amazing animals and great pictures! ... Thank you for sharing them and don't stop there!!!

wow... those are HOT. i especially like your mojave!

wwwwwwwow!

good looking Bps, I myself am hoping to get my first morph this summer as long as my finacial plans hold that is.

Thanks guys. I really don't feel insecure about my snake compared to Adams, just trying to compliment Adam. How about this girl's colors? Not a ball, but this is a little more of our specialty.

I am quite happy with our snakes, but I appreciate you making me feel welcome. I need to post here more often. I'll have to get pictures of our other morphs sometime.
Look forward to being more active on these boards,
Justin

Welcome to BPNet Justin! Gorgeous snakes....keep the pics coming! :)

Great snakes and pics I like the female Spider the Mojave is very nice as well Keep the pics coming :sunny: :) :sunny:

Wow, your snakes are awesome. It is never a contest here (unless you're talkin BP/Herp of the Month pics..) But if it were, yours would definately hold their own!

Beautiful BP's :rockon:

Wow!! Really really kick butt snakes! That bee blows me away. And that mojave! I love the carpet also!

I've said it before, and I'll say it again....nice snakes Justin!! I hope the JCP girl we got from you guys starts looking like that carpet soon, thanks again!! I love the head pattern on that female spider too, any way I could talk you out of her? :D

-Evan

Hi

first off al :P Amazing jungle hehee i have also a jungle to :P..And i love that mojave and the spiders to :P.. I just love ball morphs :P

Gr stijn

Awesome snakes Justin, gotta love them near 1000g '06s.... do you get accused of giving yours steroids as well? I do :confused::P LMAO

Evan, Sorry, I think the spider girl is staying here. If we change our minds and decide to sell her you will be first to know. I think your jungle will turn out very nice. I am excited to see how she develops.
Uncle F, I haven't been accused as of yet. A young snake can eat about anything you put in front of them. I only feed these girls once a week, one or two good sized rats, so that is not overfeeding by any means. They are just very good feeders. They do stop around 1000 g usually, so I am sure these girls will slow down a little. It always seems they slow down just before they get to a reasonable breeding weight. We'll see how these girls do. I hope they continue on how they have been.
Thanks again, everyone.
Justin

justin what are you feeding your spider I am very amazed at the 800 grs my spider is a 06 and is 308 nice set of snakes

Great looking bee there. Can't wait to see my piping in a year or so.. thanks for the pics.

that bee is nicer that adam's!

Whitesnake,
I am just feeding medium large rats. She has eaten every week and is a fairly early '06. She takes a couple rats a week.
Basuka,
Thanks, we really like our bee. He is turning out really clean and nice. We have had an offer from a pretty big breeder for him because of his looks, and that was pretty flattering as well. Thanks again for the nice comments.
Justin

Nice collection! That carpet is spectacular!:sunny:

What type of carpet python would you recommend for a new carpet keeper, that will stay 4-6ft. I was thinking possibly Irian Jaya/West Papuan for a little project. Any other recommendations?

-Jason

Awesome pics... those are some huge '06 babies...

Justin, I dont think my post came across how I wanted it to LOL.... I was saying that I too have '06s that size. Hell, I had an '06 CH that hit 1000g in December LOL

People online hear these weights and ages and say I have to be "power feeding"...people who know me in real life, and know what I feed my snakes, accuse me of underfeeding LOL

Rock on buddy, and good luck this year :)

That bee is really clean... Nice snakes! best of luck to you next year going for that white snake! ;)

:rockon:

Jason, Irian jayas are nice and stay smaller. I like them when they are small, but am not the biggest fan with the adult colors. I really like the het granite we have and he has some awesome lavender and other pattern elements that are very nice to look at. You really can't go wrong with a nice yellow and black jungle. They have great personality and are really nice to look at. They may get a little bigger than your 6' cutoff, but they are worth it. I think spotteds and childrens pythons are underrated and are very fun pythons with some great personality. Depending on your wallet, womas are also great, and are becoming increasingly affordable. I am just a huge fan of most pythons and would probably keep them all if I could.

Uncle F, I understood your post and it is mine that was probably confusing. That's the beauty of online forums. It's so much easier to be understood face to face or on the phone. I have had many a powerfeeding discussion over the years and many people think there is some magical growth rate and anything above that is powerfeeding and anything below is underfeeding. I also keep mine a little hotter than most, or at least give them access to hotter temps so they can choose and they grow like wildfire (until about 1000g) and do very well. People read too many care sheets or just get their info from other people instead of listening to their animals. I think we are on the same page, brother. Best of luck with your projects as well.

Thanks for the information Justin. I love the looks of the Centralian Pythons, as well as a black and yellow jungle, however are they going to be much more to handle than a BCI of the same size? I assume they are a bit more slender than a boa of the same length making for easier handling. Hmmm... I'll have to read up a bit more. I'll have to use you as a valuable resource in the future!

-Jason

Jason,
Yeah, jungles are a lot more slender and small compared with a BCI, but centralians are pretty heavy bodied, similar to a BCI. Centralians are so calm and easy going, but are very hardy feeders and do very well in captivity. Jungles are a little high strung as babies and calm down as they mature. I guess I am getting a bit off topic, so shoot me a PM or email if you want to talk carpets more.
Later,
Justin

Beautiful! That JCP is smokin!


Love that bee as well... all of your animals look very clean! ;)
