Who's Got The Largest Carpet?

[Austin C.]

I can't remember her hatch date.

Here she is about a year ago.


I'm hoping she will be a monster. I don't "power feed" I do feed once a week, but her meal doesn't even leave a lump.

I love Carpets

What's your version of power feeding? because I start hatchling Carpets off on day old rat pinkies every 5 days for the first year and then every 7 days and once adult 6-10ft size once every 2 week. It's almost impossible to overfeed a baby Carpet python unless you feed it every 2 days, as they have a pretty high metabolism. Carpet pythons are known for being able to take prey items far larger than the widest part of their body. Like I said I start hatchling Carpets on day old rat pinkies and move along from there as this decreases chance of your carpet being a "Mouser" which is a pain in the butt, and rat pinks have more nutrition than mice. I've been keeping nothing but Carpet pythons for the last 3 years and have dealt with over 150-200 Carpet pythons from work to my personal collection.
