My deck rails took a beating from the weather this last year which makes the deck look a little ratty and that bugs me but I decided to close out the summer with carpet python pics on the deck rail anyhow.
This is Jewel! She is a coastal, however I'm not 100% sure what is mixed in. Maybe jungle, maybe diamond, or maybe Darwin or some combo of those.
She is getting a bit thicker these days and is over six feet long at 2 years 5 months old. She is still growing rapidly.
Regardless of what's in her genetics, she is looking pretty "coastal" to me and displaying some nice colors. However, her parents are both dark and I expect this girl to brown out a bit in the coming years though she is really holding her color in most areas.
She was moving about constantly and getting any quality images was difficult. I was able to get some shots closer up which was surprising given her obvious enthusiasm to explore.
She really isn't yellow, but more ivory and black with browns and even some red mixed in. Her tail is becoming a burnt red/brown color which was probably her most yellow area early on.
She has a great enclosure so I may take some indoor winter photos at some point, but these give you an idea of how quickly coastals can grow. I bought her last June and she was just a bit over a year old, thin as a pencil and around 3 feet long. Now she is over 6 feet.
Thanks for checking her out!
