Yafe - Albino Carpet Progression Thread

[dakski]

Yesterdays drama/shipping disaster ended well and I am starting this fresh thread for Yafe's progression.

Link to initial thread: https://ball-pythons.net/forums/show...-Carpet-Python

He's curled up on top of his house on the warm side and left me a present last night. Katie will be home soon and I will clean his tank and she can hold him. I'll post more pictures if I take them.

He seems to be settling nicely and I'll keep everyone up to date on this thread from now.

We took Yafe out today to clean his tank and he's still calm and chill. We ran outside for a minute (not too many 70F+ days left here in CT) and got some natural light pictures. It's cloudy and the sun is not out, but it's better than basement light.

He seems to be settling in nicely. I plan to feed Sunday (today is Wednesday).

Here are the outside pictures and a few inside as well. Notice the nuance and variety of color on his body in the outside pictures. You can better see the different oranges and yellows and the pinks and lavenders in these pictures.

He's only 115G now and his grip is tenacious. WOW!

​Cute face, with killer heat pits!

I got clarification on the pronunciation of Yafe's name. I spoke to my cousin, who lived in Israel, and was in the Israeli Army, before joining the US Marine Corp as an F-18 pilot.

He said Yafe, is pronounced Yah-Feh, not Yah-Fee. Glad I learned the correct pronunciation before he's been here too long. I would hate to call him one thing and then another, it might confuse him!

I'll update soon, especially after he (hopefully) eats his first meal with us on Sunday.

He is a glamorous fella for sure, love the name always a good thing to know how to properly pronounce it I probably mangle it as well. Thank you so much for sharing and best wishes always..

[EL-Ziggy]

Very nice Albino Carpets are just one of those WOW snakes to me, and used to be on my dream snake to have list.

Wow!!!! Totally missed this. Gorgeous stunning amazing pickup Dakski! מעוד יפה! (Ma-od Yafe-hebrew for very handsome).

That was definitely a quick pickup. I know my next snake will be a carpet, I actually held my first one (adult IJ) this past Tuesday at a friends, and they're just incredible. Been stalking Star Pythons on MM for the past 2 months already lol. And those heat pits wow! I know exactly what you mean, they look so bada**. Hopefully I will be adding one after my T10s get here in a month (or 5).

Truly a wonderful, beautiful addition. So happy for you. I wish you lots of luck and a long, healthy, and happy life with the new baby. תתחדש! (Titchadesh-hebrew for something new should bring and be in good health)
