I've been busy these last few weeks, but thought I'd give an update for everyone who was following my "Which One For Me?" threadIt probably will not come as a surprise to anyone that I've chosen to get a Jungle Carpet Python!! I don't have him yet, but will have been e-mailing with the breeder and got to speak with him over the phone yesterday. Great guy, incredibly helpful and patient with me, and I feel great about buying from him.
This is the baby I picked, with the help of the breeder and 3skulls/Rich (who is amazing for answering my questions and being such a great help - thanks, Rich!!). Photos are all courtesy of the breeder, Nick Mutton at Inland Reptile.

His father is a CVR Zebra and his mother is a Leary female. I'm looking for a more high contrast, bright and cleanly colored snake, and this seemed to be the best clutch for what I'm looking for. The family tree, for those interested -
I'm incredibly excited! The breeder is a very cool guy who's been wonderful to talk to and went out of his way to answer my questions, whether it was about JCPs in general or a few of the available babies in particular. Also, a million thanks to 3skulls and everyone from my original thread, who answered my questions and shared their experiences with me!
Pick up date is at an expo on January 18th. Now to make a list of supplies!
