Late Stage Growth Coastal Carpet.
It seems odd that a snake that is 5 years old can go through a major growth spurt, but this girl is doing it.
She is also looking more and more Coastal Carpet Python these days.
Jewel was always a picky eater, strange for a carpet, but she did her thing.
This summer has been a 180. No refusals, eats F/T, live whatever. She is also ready to eat again within a week of feeding sometimes less.
This is how she looks today.
Her coloring is starting to mature and I actually like it. It looks more "wild type" than it used to.
I can easily see the body thickness, and can feel her increase in weight.
She seems to enjoy the deck rail. The retic does not, he actually has issues sitting still lol!
Her head is growing and looking a little more impressive.
I'm not sure I'll have her out, for photos, anymore this year, so take a last look before fall hits.

Richard,
Both you and Phillydubs are right on!
Head size and shape in a mature snake is something!
And Carpets, well,,, they have really cool heads to begin with!

Re: Late Stage Growth Coastal Carpet.
This gives me hope for my girl! She's piling on the weight and length, never misses a feed, and ready to feed again in like 5-7 days. But her head doesn't seem to be getting that bulky look! Still very baby in my opinion!

I think head size, and overall size in most boas and pythons comes later in life.
The big mature heads I see on coastal carpets are usually older snakes.
This girl really isn't that old at all at 5 years.
I believe you will see maturity and changes eventually.

Re: Late Stage Growth Coastal Carpet.
It's one of the many things I love about carpets is their head shape and size!
My girl is not 4 till March so I've got a while yet, just hate seeing her tiny head stretch over large rats!
Jewel is an absolute stunner by the way, beautiful colours

Thank you!
I think people with carpets are most certainly attracted to the head size and shape. Carpets are one of the few pythons/boas that have a head shape that resembles, at least slightly resembles, the head shape of a venomous snake.
They have dinosaur heads with wide fat cheeks, at least some of them do.
My girl isn't quite there yet, but she is doing well.
