the official carpet python census

[Colin Vestrand]

I plan on sticking with my single Ball python for maybe a year before I would consider getting a larger snake. That will give me plenty of time to master the husbandry of of my ball plus research and prepare for a larger animal. That is a beautiful Jaguar you've got Colin. Does she have a good temperament? I was considering a Red tail boa but the Jaguar carpets seem more beautiful and manageable and less common as well.

thanks, she's a peach... unless you smell like a rat, she gives nothing but love.

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?

well less than a year ago I voted that I have no plans to keep carpets but now I'm looking at them pretty hard. I just have to get the 'ok' from the girlfriend to get a large snake.

[mainbutter]

I don't currently have any Carpets as I am really attached to my Balls and the couple Red Tails I currently have. I would love to add a m/f pair to my collection but I REALLY have to draw the line and just concentrate on what I have. I will have 2 Salmon RedTails I might breed later down the road as well, and i may try my hand at breeding my Balls. If I do that, there is no way I can find the room for a pair of Carpet Pythons.
They surely are gorgeous though and I would LOVe to own a pair! maybe someday when i get more room.
