2019 0.1 Rockhampton Coastal Carpet Python Progression

[jmcrook]

Holy cow man!! I leave the forums for a couple months and you get a new snake!! Grats on the new worm, looks pretty awesome. If you love carpets, I would definitely add a jungle carpet to the list. Allison was awesome, should have probably kept her but it is what it is.

And I hear you on keeping yourself in check lol. I have been getting the itch to fill my last T15 and I have really been wanting that Peruvian BCC. Luckily I haven’t seen anything yet but I think Brian Vuillemboa might be having a litter this year.....might be bad on my wallet. Also still thinking about those ETBs but haven’t talked to Ed Marino yet.

Anyways grats again man.

Thanks dude! Good to see you posting around here again!

Trying not to make hasty decisions but man do I want more snakes hahha. Bredli and Brisbane are so tempting but so are more boas. I feel ya about the Peruvian BCC. Those are incredible, super hard to come by, and like $1500 if you can get them lol.

Gonna wait for this semester at work (my classes start tomorrow) to get underway before make any decisions about new critters. I’m already going to be stretched pretty thin

Yeah, I quit my old job and started a new one where I run an automotive shop for the owner as he runs his second shop. So I’ve been pretty busy. And yeah, not sure about dropping $1500 again yet as I just dropped a little more than that for each gila and beaded lol. My wallet took a huge hit on the “trio of trouble”. And a basin ETB would wipe me atm as those are around $4-5k for a uscbb one 😭

Take your time, half the fun is just looking around for that perfect one also.

Nice to see you again.

There used to be a reticulated trio with the three of us here.

I'm the only one left with one of those.

I will post a Wallace update eventually. He's probably topped off in size. He's OK as a pet but a lot of work and caution go along with his care.

JM has the carpet bug, and I really am happy he does.

If I did everything over again, I'd have two boa constrictors and 2 carpets.

JM, I can't wait to see this one in a naturalistic cage setup with the perches!

Thanks. I’ve been busy so really didn’t have much time.

I tried catching up and read about your recent dealing with Wallace. Retic are a lot of work. I miss Caesar but honestly, as active as relics are, anything over 6 feet was just something I wasn’t really comfortable dealing with solo. An 8 foot boa is MUCH different than an equal size retic.

If I was to redo everything, I would have started with gilas and GTPs sooner and just stuck to pure local boas like BCC, BCL, BCO etc. Although all my critters were definitely learning experiences and I don’t regret owning any of them. Luckily none of them were really defensive
