Yafe - Male Albino Carpet Python

[dakski]

Great news! Katie/SunshineWalker and I decided on another addition.

Below are pictures from the breeder of Yafe, our new, about 1 1/4 year old Irian Jaya and Darwin Hybrid Albino (Het Granite) Carpet Python (his birthday is June 2nd, 2017)!

He actually arrives tomorrow morning! I will be sure to post pictures then, but please enjoy the eye candy below in the meantime.

His "life home" is going to be a 4X2X1.5' Boaphile with two 2 1/2 inch perches going across the tank at different levels and different placement front to back. Jeff is customizing the tank as he usually sells 3X2X1.5' arboreal tanks, not 4X2X1.5'. We go back now and I always enjoy working with him; he goes the extra mile. That tank will be ready and here within 7 weeks. Probably less. In the meantime, I have a 21"X12"X12" setup with two shower curtain rods crossing in the middle to give him somewhere to climb and two hides on the bottom as well. He's only 22 inches right now.

Yafe, pronoucned, "Yah-Fee", is hebrew for "handsome."

I am looking forward to an arboreal and display snake. He is apparently a total puppy dog. Has never shown nippiness or defensiveness, but is a good eater. I will hook train him, but apparently, out and about, just like Behira (BCI - my other hook trained individual), he's a sweetheart. We cannot wait to meet him!

I asked for the calmest most docile (small - IJ and Darwin) carpets he had. Yafe also turned out to be one of the best, if not they best, looking one as well.

The breeder I am getting Yafe from is Star Pythons, https://www.carpetpythons.com. They are German based, but have many animals here and Adam is their US representative and is shipping Yafe to us from the Chicago area. So far, I cannot speak higher of them and of Adam.

Without further ado, here are the pictures.

I love his orange head and the contrast in his body with the deep orange color. He also has some pinks in the white and apparently will get deeper contrast as he grows.
