    2018 0.1 Brisbane Coastal Carpet Progression

    Thanks, guys! I still can’t properly describe her exact colors with my colorblindness but I love her palette. Muted hues of red/green/brown are difficult for me to distinguish. What do y’all see on her?

    And yes, I love that lateral stripe down her sides. The sire to that clutch is striped head to tail and looks amazing. I like the really busy, banded pattern Brisbanes too though.

    The one thing I found that you can count on about Balls is that they are consistent about their inconsistentcy.

    I saw a nice video of her yesterday.

    She reminds my of my retic when he was younger and much more pleasant.

    JM,

    I see light browns, creams and some off yellow colors.

    I know you were asking.

    Thank bud! That’s kinda what I’m seeing too but that background color is tricky depending on the light.

    Sometimes it seems to have a hint of red, sometimes a hint of green especially below that stripe on her sides.

    Enthusiastically smashed a large mouse last night. May give her a rat pup next to keep things different though they’re about the same size. Frequency will be increased through the rest of summer into fall then going cut her off, let her empty out, and cool her down a bit for winter months.

    This girl seems to be much more calm and secure when handling as long as she’s got a grip somewhere on a hook or other inanimate object. Fine with me and it’s never bad to have a hook in hand or within reach when handling.

    Also starting to put on some size too. Actually almost looks like a two year old carpet now. Can’t wait til she gets that full, broad, flat southern coastal head as she matures

    Looking good JM.

    Yeah, Yafe hit about 600G and looked so much more "adult." Thicker and stronger body, more adult looking head, etc.

    It's fun watching them grow!

    Thanks bud! Charlotte is still much smaller in comparison but growing nicely and somewhere around 150grams. She’s built up a decent bit in the last 5 months. Arrived at 92grams first week of April. Love this species so much. They’d been a dream snake for 15+yrs and so glad I dove in

    She's gorgeous!! And I know we're not seeing all the subtle nuances that the camera doesn't pick up. She must be stunning in person.

    I weighed Fernie (Bredli) before her meal the other night. She was 200 on the dot, but wasn't fully empty I don't think (tiny poop after last meal). I can only imagine if I was power feeding. She could be taking larger prey easily but I'm still feeding off some of my smaller adult mice and I swear she's still bigger by lunch time than she was during morning checks, hahaha.

    Thanks dude! There’s definitely some subtle color shifts depending on the light. Probably partially attributed to my colorblindness but I feel like I see subtle reds, greens, and golds on her sometimes. She’s absolutely incredible in person. I think she’ll be outrageous at 7’+.
