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.

I love Behira (BCI) and think she is beautiful and is my favorite snake to handle. However, I love me some heat pits! They are so cool.

Yeah, he's a handsome devil. Yeah, close call on the name pronunciation; glad I got to the bottom of it. Thank you for the kind words.

I didn't know you spoke Hebrew EL-Ziggy !

Yeah, love pretty eyes. That's how I ended up with Katie and her gorgeous blue eyes.

Behira and Carra have those dark grey/marble looking eyes. Shayna and Solana have those bright red eyes. Figment's eyes are freaking purple! Yafe's eyes are that cool red, but not plain red, whitish red with nuance. Kayla and Cleo have deep red eyes.

Frank has brown eyes, but he talks with them. Want to know how Frank is feeling? Look at his eyes.

Finally, Ezzy has killer eyes. Huge and beautifully whitish yellow.

Yep, Phillydubs, I'd we are 10/10 on reptile eyes.

Thanks for the comment brother.

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