Brand spankin' new coastal(courtesy of Colin!)
I want to give a HUGE thanks to our very own Colin Vestrand (Atheris Reptiles) for this cute little beauty! My first venture into morelia! She arrived this morning, the packing was immaculate, and she's in perfect health, energetic and loves to climb. She's about 2 feet long and pretty skinny compared to ball pythons!
I've got a feeder thawing for her, but other than that I haven't pestered her too much despite how tempting it is. She's got some personality to her and huffs and puffs, but no strikes at all so far. I was almost hoping to get my first python bite, so far no "luck" in that department! lol.
Here's the good part, photos! I apologize my camera isn't great, my apartment lighting stinks, and I didn't stick around too long to try and get perfect shots.. but I did manage to get a quick one that is in pretty good focus:

This one was sent to me by Colin:

Anyone looking for a morelia spilota mcdowelli, I'd highly suggest hitting up Colin :D Thanks again!!

Colin has some very amazing coastal carpets. Great pick up. :gj:
Re: Brand spankin' new coastal(courtesy of Colin!)
She's beautiful! Congrats!
Re: Brand spankin' new coastal(courtesy of Colin!)
Congrats on that, looking good ;)
Re: Brand spankin' new coastal(courtesy of Colin!)
I love the nostrils on carpets. Such a pretty girl!
Re: Brand spankin' new coastal(courtesy of Colin!)
Vert Nice!! Can't go wrong with Colin! He's got some great carpets. :gj:
Re: Brand spankin' new coastal(courtesy of Colin!)
glad you are so happy with her!
it's always sad shipping them off, but at least i know she's in good hands and i'll get lots of updates on her (hint hint). i think her white underside is really going to start to pop in contrast to her dorsum, just like her dad.

Don't worry Colin, there will be plenty of picture updates of this girl!
Re: Brand spankin' new coastal(courtesy of Colin!)
I love the head! Gorgeous colors, too. Congrats!
Re: Brand spankin' new coastal(courtesy of Colin!)
not the best pic, but he's since passed away and i don't have any on this computer. pure white belly even though he was fairly dark... one of my all time favorites.

Nice pickup. Colin is a great guy.
Cant wait to get more!
Re: Brand spankin' new coastal(courtesy of Colin!)
Sucks about the passing. At least we have an offspring to oogle over. That high white is beautiful.
Re: Brand spankin' new coastal(courtesy of Colin!)
Sorry for your loss Colin, I have yet to lose a herp but it'll be a horrible day/week/month.
Re: Brand spankin' new coastal(courtesy of Colin!)
Have fun with her man. And be prepared for her size, although it will be a while from now.

Don't worry I'm counting on it ;)
Re: Brand spankin' new coastal(courtesy of Colin!)
Day two down. Five to go.
It's SO hard to not play with your new snakes and let them settle in!
Re: Brand spankin' new coastal(courtesy of Colin!)
I just want to say... I love BP's but, to me, carpets are on another level. As far as beauty and character goes. Have fun with your new snake! I know I am :D
Re: Brand spankin' new coastal(courtesy of Colin!)
sweet pickup! I wonder if colin will be pairing any bredli???
Re: Brand spankin' new coastal(courtesy of Colin!)
don't have any bredli... yet. wanted to pick up a pair, but i'm trying to focus on mcdowelli. i did get a nice pair of irian jayas though.
