Pretty typical coloration on a younger JCP that has more traditional wild type looks. I have a couple girls that looked fairly similar when they were young, then after the first 6 months the yellows have come in and are now getting brighter with every shed still. Congrats!

Retics are my passion. Just ask.
Awesome. Thanks. I'm excited to get get. They're going to hold her for me until the end of Sept (for a $25) boarding charge. I asked them to send me more pics of her and also her vitals (hatch date, length, weight, what and how well she's eating). I'm still hatching my plan for how I am going to keep her a secret from my daughter until her birthday.
Well, today is the day. Our new JCP arrived this morning. She's tiny. She looks healthy. I can't believe I kept it from my daughter this long. She's convinced she is not getting a JCP. She is going to be so excited. I can't wait til she gets home from school.
I will post pics later. The mobile upload is not working.
When carpets are hatchlings their colours start dull and brighten up with each shed. I am sure you already know but hatchlings can also be nippy. Make sure you handle it some for her if it needs to be tamed. Wouldnt want her to get a meaningless bite and turn her off of them.
I have also seen some hathlings that stay calm the first few few months then try a bout of acting tough for a bit, and then calm down with proper handling.
good looking little thing. you will enjoy her. i never had seen carpets until i bought an IJ on a whim at a reptile show in april and she has quickly become my favourite herp. love carpets. very active and great display animals. dont hide all day and are fun to handle....
