    Our new carpet, Isabel.

    We went to a local shop for some live feeders for our snakes that refuse f/t, and left with this snippy princess! We've been keeping an eye on her since she first showed up and haven't stopped thinking about her since. She's just a tiny noodle, but has it in her head that she is a pit viper. She was never handled and the personnel were terrified of her. After my boyfriend got bit 20+ times and she flung pee everywhere, we knew we were taking her home haha. I'm sure she'll calm down before long. She's wonderful, she even ate the night we brought her home. Unfortunately we weren't able to weigh her due to her squirming, but we hope to soon!

    She absolutely loves her new bamboo climbing bars! She didn't leave them for the first 48 hours after she arrived!

    She looks great. I'm Sure she will out grow that biting stage as she grows. I have two carpets. They are clutch mates. One is a terror the other one is about as calm as my boa's. I guess the calm one didn't get the memo on how to act.

    Thank you! I think she's going to be a wonderful snake when she realizes we aren't trying to harm her. Hopefully she gets the biting out of her system while she's still little. It might actually hurt when she gets larger! She's slowly calming down. Your nippy baby probably will too

    Our new carpet, Isabel.

    Isabel is beautiful, congrats!

    I have a real fondness for Coastal's, I have three Adults. And they are all tame as a newborn bunny.

    You have a great attitude with Isabel and I'm confident that she will be a joy for you.

    Enjoy

    Izzy, meet Lizzy

    Aww, they're beautiful Reinz! It's crazy how adept they are at climbing, especially Etta. I can't wait to watch our little Isabel grow up! It will be nice to handle her and not feel like a chew toy!

    Re: Our new carpet, Isabel.

    Just a few update pics. She is coming along awesome. She was 81 grams when he got her and is now up to 91 with a few meals in her. We have had her for 3 weeks now and she has now gotten to the point where I can handle her and she will not bite me anymore. Sometimes if she is touched when handling and caught off guard she will do a flying head butt type thing lol however she is a joy to have and very entertaining.

    Isabel is looking fantastic. When I got Shag @ 94g he was a little nippy as well but that went away in couple of weeks. Carpets are amazing and fun animals.
