Getting a JCP

[snakeaholic]

Hi I'm picking up a 6' JCP tonite. He is very tame and feeds well. Also is coming with a custom cage with heat. I'll try and get some pics as soon as he gets settled in. Right now I have balls and corns. Can you give me any pointers or info. I think I've read everything so far on the web about them.

Nice deal - shame you get to miss out on all the juvenile nippiness!

Mine are still wee lil tykes - so any advice I might have would be well beneath that fella's usefulness unfortunately. What is it feeding on? I know they are a lot less . . "dormant" than balls when handling - very mobile snakes nor as slow and deliberate as balls. Tell u smore tell us more!

My Coastal is still a youngin and rather fiesty but he sure can move when he wants to. Alot faster than Jay or Bob.

The majority of young carpets are little devils.. Your being that bi g menas you probably get a pretty tame one if the previous owner handled it at all...

There are a lot of misconceptions about young JCP's being nippy. True they are more prone to nippiness (that a word?) than your BP's or BCI's but I have yet to actually come across a nippy one young or old. My baby is very docile as are those of my friends. So either we all lucked out or they get a bit of a bad rap.
