Still avoiding a shot of my mug,
But I do have a couple handling shots of Jewel, the coastal carpet mutt. She's a touch over 7 feet, and has put on some size. She eats regularly now and her thickness has increased because of it.
I have heard some folks talk about carpets being slender and light bodied. While that is true in a sense, they are very capable of being heavy and thick while still being very healthy. There are even some giants out there in the wild.
Jewel, by most standards is average.
Its flavor of the day when picking a favorite in this collection, but Jewel is consistently the best handling snake here. She just seems "friendly".
