Yafe - Male Albino Carpet Python

[dakski]

Oh wow! You made a great choice....

I held another member's carpet python a couple months ago and immediately was hooked. I think I can speak for many on here, that we'll be looking forward to the progression thread on Yafe. Congrats again to the both of you.

Believe it or not, the only Carpet I've held was a full grown Coastal. Chill dude and easy to handle. About 7-8FT, but totally manageable. I love the look, the feel, and the arboreal/display nature of them. Wanted something not too big though, which is why I went with a IJ/Darwin Hybrid. We will see when he arrives, but supposedly, his mood is awesome as well and he is chill and docile.

Congratulations ,Very nice indeed,
Really look forward to the progression thread on yafe
I really love his orange head and them deep heat pits just stunning

Lol - yeah, I miss the heat pits on Behira versus the pythons. You are long Boas Rich, so I imagine not many heat pits around your house. . I totally agree on his orange. It blew me away. Most carpets I've seen are like BP albinos; yellow and white. Shayna, my Albino Spider BP has very little white and is two shades of yellow. Cool up close, but I miss some of the contrast she had as a youngster. Yafe is called a bi-color albino. He's orange and yellow and then has the pinkish/lavender whites. As he grows the contrast/distinction should only get stronger. It's subtle in his body, but his head blew my mind. Had to get him!

Such an accurate name! I look forwards to seeing more pictures of this handsome dude

Thank you. I actually named him. Katie named the past few additions (Behira, Solana, and Esmeralda - who is hers, so I cannot argue that), but she picks great names, so no complaints here. No doubt in anyone's mind on the forum, especially mine, that there will be many updates and pictures going up on this thread. If anything, I tend to overdue it, not the opposite.

Congratulations on the stellar new addition. I love his banding. I've spoken with Josh at Star Pythons a few times. They produce some amazing animals and you definitely picked a beauty. I think you two will really enjoy the Morelia experience.

Yeah, as mentioned above, the banding will get more pronounced with age. I was also looking at a Albino Granite, like Yafe's mom, but although beautiful, and had incredible subtle detail, I missed the contrast he has. Oh, and that orange with the yellow and the subtle pinkish coloring, wow!

I am super excited. Katie is even going to help unbox with me. She's never done that - always at work, but she gets to go in late tomorrow. We are really excited about his color/pattern, but are psyched for his personality. He's supposed to be super calm, but curious, and apparently he likes to wrap around wrists and hold on! Sounds more like Behira than like Shayna or the corn snakes. Going to be cool to have a different personality as well as a display snake.

I will update ASAP tomorrow, and, obviously, cannot wait until morning!
