    Lizzy on the Monkey Bars

    Last night was play day for Lizzy, my Coastal Carpet Python. She's at least 7 ft and difficult to photograph with an iPad or cellphone because she is in CONSTANT motion.

    I did manage a few shots that exhibits her markings well. She is a Sweetheart and would eat the tongs if I left them in her tank.

    She is a ton of fun, I highly recommend a Carpet, but caution it is not a snake to sit on the couch and watch TV with.

    The one thing I found that you can count on about Balls is that they are consistent about their inconsistentcy.

    Beautiful snake.

    Your taste in music isn't bad either. "And All That Could Have Been" is my favorite NIN album. The rawness of the music being performed live blows away the sterility of the studio mixes that are just track laid over track laid over track.

    I have to confess that this was my daughter's room and now a guest room. However, I've never been one of those Dads that yelled at their kid to turn the music down or ridicule their music. In fact I've always enjoyed her taste in music. I trust her judgement quite often.

    Gorgeous carpet Reinz. I'm really excited to be adding one to my collection in a couple of months.

    That's great to hear!

    Have you narrowed it down to which type? Jungle, IJ, Diamond, Coastal, etc?

    Picked a breeder?

    Are you going for a hatchling, juvie, or just wait and see?

    Cool

    I've had my heart set on a Jungle or Zebra for a while now but I've seen seeing some gorgeous Coastals lately (yours included). I really like Nick Mutton's stock at Inland Reptile. I usually raise my snakes from hatchlings but I'm open to a juvie as well since I'll have a better idea on how it might 'color up'. You know I'll be sharing pics once the deal is done.

    I hear ya.

    I was going to go Jungle, nothing to get in the way. Then I saw My Girl, and it was just meant to be.

    Best of luck in your hunt!

    Re: Lizzy on the Monkey Bars

    May I ask how old is she? I got my first coastal a couple months ago. March 29 to be exact.. She was quite small.. She is a great eater. Putting on good size. She definitely has more energy than my ball pythons. Lol..she bit me every chance she had.. Now all she does is mock strike when I get her out the cage..so definitely calmed down alot faster than I expected. I've heard people say theirs calmed down after there first year of owning them..so I'm pretty thankful.. Also picked her up at a reptile expo for 50 bucks.. Can't beat that deal at all..

    Sounds like yours is coming along very well. And the price, how could you refuse?
    Please post some pics!

    Lizzy is 5 yrs old.
