A brief backstory: If anyone here follows Go Herping on YouTube, you likely know about Emerald Scales, which is a business run by two YouTubers who rehome (not strictly, it is a purchase) rescued reptiles. I previously adopted a leo gecko that had missing toes from fighting with other leos, as she and three others were housed together in a ten gallon tank, I believe.

At the time, there was this cute little jungle carpet that they had acquired from a breeder who was downsizing, so not REALLY a rescue. I saw him marked as sold, pending payment, for a while, and recently saw that his price had been dropped.

Well. I've been wanting a jungle carpet for a while, I like to support creators I follow, and it seemed like a good time. So, I am now the owner of a cute, year old jungle carpet python. I was sent a somewhat blurry (lol) picture of him and his recent shed! I can't wait to get this guy! He's arriving August 15th, after my husband and I are all settled into our new house.

I cannot wait. If anyone has any name ideas, I'm all ears! I had the idea to name him JPEG for giggles, but that's still up in the air. >.> Also, I've read SO much about carpet python care, but any special tips or tricks would be appreciated, if you have them.

Here's this pic!
