2 new babies came home

[Charlie Smith]

Hello everyone, we just had a reptile show here last weekend 9-24-06 N.A.R.B.C. and AAR= www.australianaddiction.com brought some of their Jungle babies and I saw a couple screamers that made their way to my home. They are unrelated, calm, and great feeders. Enjoy some pics from me, thanks! Charlie S.


these 2 pics are of my male I named Oakley. Of all the babies, Oakley was showing great color already with gold showing up. I think he really stood out.



and the next ones are of my female that I haven't named yet?!




I just love how they look when they're babies after a few sheds. Check out the frown head pattern. She really is a sweetie.

Aww those are a couple cute snakies you got there!

[Charlie Smith]

thanks, these 2 aren't nippy and are great feeders. I think the 3 and soon to be 4 Cheynei have great personalities very alert and seem to be thinking about what to do then doing it. a nice change from ground dwellers to aboreals. mostly I'm diggin their patterns. I only planned on getting 1 LOL now I have 4 (2.2) Oakley, Floyd, Abby, and Hershey

[SnakieMom]

Beautiful! I envy everyone who has one of these.
I have wanted one for the longest time, but I'm honestly afraid of the nippyness. And, they get a little too big for me.
So...I guess I'll just hafta enjoy them through forums like these, where people post all their wonderful stories and experiences!

SnakieMom, hogwash...I see a ball in your avatar. Jungles (IJ's and Cheynei) don't get much bigger than a ball at full size. All 4 of mine are unrelated and from 3 different breeders. Coincidently, the 2 that aren't "threatening" they're sooooo cute are from the same breeder. Since I am new to the Jungle experience I will enjoy handling them to a ball python tameness. I believe people when they say they will tame down with handling since my nippy girl Abby has already started to handle well. I can go from hand to hand where in the beginning she would strike at everything. Maybe some day you will get the fever like I have, LOL--->

awwwwwwww congrats - looking good Charlie!

[ECLARK]

6-7 feet is the average size of an adult JCP, a little longer than a BP. :eek:

Good looking JCP's you have there.

[Blu Mongoose]

So nice!! Can't wait till mine is calm. Have been handling him on a regular basis, yet he wants to strike at everyone and everything!!

[Charlie Smith]

thanks you guys. yeah, ECLARK not much bigger but I would still group them into the "about" the same size category with of course some getting a tad longer (females) than 6' for Jungles/Cheynei.

Blu Mongoose, how much time do you handle at 1 time, 1 hour more or less?

from Andrew Hare. He looks way cooler in person.

Actually, most jungles get to 7 1/2 to 8 ft. The Irian Jayas grow to about 5 1/2 to 6 ft. A little bigger than a ball python.
Most all Morelia babies can be nippy at a young age but will tame down and mellow out with some handling. I notice most all of my babies to settle down as they grow and put on size at about 10 - 14 months of age with minimal handling.
AAR produced some nice jungles this year and Andrew Hare has some of the best looking jungles on the market today!
Glad to have another Morelia enthusaist on board!!!
