This is my Bredli. There are many like it...

Beautiful snake. Congrats. Hope he arrives all safe and sound.

Much appreciated. I hope so as well. First time receiving and animal by air drop. Every video I've seen makes it out to be no big deal but I will be a little bit cautious. Plus, I really only have a slight idea of how large he will be as a 2015 birth!

Awesome addition!

Thanks, Thom. I think so too. I was interested in a lot if not all of the carpet python complex. My thinking was, if I can only add one more, which would be the most unique and valuable to me. Bredli everytime, Brisbane coastal close second. Third was basically every other carpet.

Which means if I add two more it will end up being at least 6 additional. Then, minus one, because my wife will grab one of the return flights out!

Congrats, he's beautiful!! Getting a brand new species is always extra exciting!

I think this departure will be the start of something special.

Not only is that a beautiful snake, the species in general is one of the most rewarding IMO. You will see terrestrial as well as highly arboreal behaviors if you set the animal up properly.

Bredli are one of the largest of the carpet group. Only eclipsed in size by the southern, Brisbane, locality coastals.

I have a short list of snakes I would like to add here and you have one of the picks!

Congrats!!! Keep this thread filled with pictures and updates.

Thank you, Gio, and well said. I am hoping it is exactly as you have written and everything else that I have seen so far. Looking forward to my kids reactions as well. They have really enjoyed the BP additions.

Brisbane? Love those too. Almost won out due to potential size and the fact that both the Brisbane and Bredli are legitimate "wild" examples that I wanted to add next to my BP morphs.

I will definitely post updates!

Thank you, and that is definitely a big part of it. New species, new continent. Really excited.

@ Rock- I was keeping colubrids and decided I wanted a new challenge. Morelia was the perfect fit for me. I was originally seduced by the gorgeous black and yellow jungles and knew I had to have one. I was waiting for a breeder to hatch a jungle clutch when I saw some pictures of another forum member's (Reinz) coastal carpets that blew my mind. So I got one. Then came the jungle, the Bredli, another jungle and finally an albino. Needless to say they've become my favorite species to work with. I really think you'll have a lot of with your guy. Who produced your Bredli btw?

Amazing collection you have. Jungle is what caught my eye first as well. Then a jag. Wanted both. Coastals and Bredlis solidified Morelia for me and then I found an Inland... Long story short, a Super Caramel Jag almost made it's way home but I kept thinking I should start with a Bredli.

Great question, Nick Mutton. I really like what he produces and he was very forthcoming and informative over the phone. The lineage runs through Nick Stark via Lazik line male and females. My male comes directly from a Stonewashed male and a Lazik line female. From my overall understanding that means as a het offspring he should look like a normal Bredli but I'll keep my eye out to see if there are any subtle differences.

Very nice.. And love your Thread Title, caught my eye .. "many like it, but this one is mine"

I kinda thought it was a Nick Mutton animal but didn't want to assume. The picture looks like the ones he takes and I window shop on his site a lot . He's great to talk with, do business with, and he produces some really nice animals. I got the first 3 of my 5 carpets from Nick. A Coastal, Jungle and a normal Bredli. I know you said your male was het for stonewash but he looks more stonewash than normal to me.

Thank you, Sully! The title did seem to resonate with me.
