2019 0.1 Rockhampton Coastal Carpet Python Progression

[jmcrook]

Honestly I feel like Aussie pythons are different than all of other pythons. They, IMO seem actually social.

Once theses guys are acclimated to their new environment, they seem to adjust and thrive.

Once I scored my Coastal , I was not able to pick a favorite snake here. I was completely dedicated to my locality boa.

I think the perfect collection is a mix of boas and carpets.

JM scored here and he as a LOCALITY snake. which is very rare in the carpet world

There are very few breeders that focus on the Mother Nature animals.

JM, you have something special!

That’s exactly why I picked her, Gio. Even though I don’t have any immediate aspirations of breeding my animals I’ve come to greatly appreciate “Mother Nature’s” paint jobs in recent years. There’s something special to me about keeping an animal that is very close to its representation in the wild that strikes a chord with me.
Makes me think back to how things were when I started keeping ~25yrs ago when you could only get normals and maybe albinos of any given species. I still think morphs/mutations are amazing but have shifted my personal focus to keeping more locality specific animals.
As I’m typing this she’s coming out of her hide, hopefully to shed, as her eyes have cleared up. Will post more pics soon post shed/first feeding
