the official carpet python census

Does anyone know where you can get coastal jaguars in Canada? It costs a ridiculous amount of money to bring a snake across the border due to CITES, U.S. Fish & Wildlife, then you need an Import / Export License, a veterinary inspection, you have to get a special shipping crate made up, and it all has to be shipped according to IATA Regulations, then it could take 3 to 5 months for all the paper work to clear from both countries. I realize that all of these procedures are in place for good reason and I totally respect that but we're talking about $5000 before the cost of the animal. If you are a breeder and you're bringing up a number of animals then the cost is worth it or if you are rich; which I am not. So I guess what I'm asking is; Does anyone know of a good place to get coastal jaguars in Canada?

Where abouts in canada are you looking?

I just bought a coastal carpet python a few weeks ago and I love it.

I want one so bad!

I don't really plan on purchasing one, just because of two things:

I don't feel like getting nipped each time I try to pick the snake up or when I'm handling it. Never really enjoyed being nipped.. been nipped 5 times. More than half of that was caused by Mr. Meany King Snake..

I'm really into Ball pythons, and hope to have a good collection with beautiful morphs I will produce and purchase.

My 08 coastal carpet python has never struck at me. There are plenty of young carpets out there that are great to handle, I just made sure to ask about temperment of that particular snake before I bought her.

We just got our first Jungle Carpet Python baby today at the Tampa reptile show. We LOVE HIM!

My CCP hasn't bitten me at all. I know carpets can be nippy, but I think they have a bit of a bad rap too because lots of carpets will stop bitting is handled properly. When young they can be nippy but most will tame down with age and handling.

some more coastal carpets...

i voted on this a while ago i think but now my original vote is incorrect as i now OWN a CP.

She caught my eye when i was at the Havre De Grace show, i knew what i was looking for for the most part, but went with an older animal (as opposed to a hatchling) because i can't for the life of me get their color changes and the parents werent around. She's a striped Jungle x coastal cross i believe. And she does have a full stripe. She's calming down with handling and im sure i'll get to the point where there is no need for the glove but she does like to go for the face when she's in a mood..

she's still pretty itty bitty, heres a pic of me being a pansy and holding her with a glove. Her name is (Lady) Prestor.

her little head marking looks like a bomb lol
