My new Bredli

[Firemaniv]

I went to firexpo this past weekend. I have been wanting to get a carpet and was leaning towards a jungle/diamond mix. The show did not have much in the way of carpets. I finally checked out this female and decided to get her instead. I think i made an awesome decision. She is in shed, had to ride around in my pocket to target, cracker barrel, stay in the htel bathroom, and finally the 3 hour ride home. Although alitle shy, she has been curious and has not tried to strike. I got her from ahp exotics.

I am leaning towards naming her Evelyn.

I am going to offer food tomorrow and see what happens. I can't. Wait to she how she looks after her shed. I wanted a name to go along with her having the markings on her face that reminds me of a skull. My wife suggested Evelyn from He-man.

Success of feeding today. I offered the first mouse and she was hesitant at first till she figured out what it was. She ate that one kind of slower than i thought she would. I offerd a second and she snatched that one like a fat kid taking candy!

I wanted to try a rat but no one had any rat pups sized for her. I will order some but i have read that it can be a pain to switch a carpet from mice to rats so if you have any advice on doing so please share.

First of all congrats on your find. Get you a frozen rat thaw it out and rub the mouse a little,with it before you feed it to the snake. Try increasing the amount of scent of the rat you put on the mouse. Until she gets use to the smell and then you should be able to switch her over. This has worked for me with mouse eating ball pythons in the past.

I gave her the 2nd mouse and then had to go get kids from school. I took her floor hide out so when i got back she was perched on her branch. I will have to get a pic. A facebook member of a carpet python group i am in said that her bredli had no trouble switching from mice to rats. I think i will order them and start just offering them and see what happens and go from there.

My carpet is a garbage disposal lol she will eat anything you put in there but i feed live

[Firemaniv]

I hope mine will be too. I feed frozen/thawed and that is what Evelyn took today. The breeder does frozen. He had a male bredli for like $100 because he was being a pain and still only took live.

Since she is still a juvie, i am going to do a 5 day feed cycle for a while.
Here is her on the branch still now after she was feed this am.
