2019 0.1 Rockhampton Coastal Carpet Python Progression

She's looking really nice JMC. Glad to hear she's calming down some too. Keep up the good work.

Two great handling sessions the last two nights. Hasn’t taken a shot and hasn’t had a death grip on my fingers. Still takes a little while to relax though

Look at that contrast!

I'm envious and rather like the small, baby sizes. I remember being so eager to see Jewel grow to a large, Coastal size and she did, but after seeing these pictures I miss the days of one handed handling!

Looking good brother.

I imagine I’ll have the same relationship to her size. Can’t wait to see her at 5-6’+ but also I love tiny little baby snakes, I think partially because I know that size won’t last long.

Having empty tubs in this new rack is making it very tempting to add new Morelia here... should probably exercise some restraint. But honestly 5 snakes wouldn’t be that much more work than 4.

Contrast city there. What a beauty!

I can't pick between boas and carpets.

They are the two favorite species that I keep here.

They cover all the bases.

You are at the Utopia of snake keeping with that collection sir.

Would be slightly more utopian if she would stop biting me lol! The bites are downright comical though. Want her to be broken of that habit before she’s got some size on her.
I think she’ll be much more entertaining to watch in a display enclosure than either of the boas, but the boas are both chill as can be when handling.
Thank you for the kind words! I’m pretty happy with the current critter arrangements here

JM,,

Try a branch when you handle her if you haven't already.

I know this clown ended up being a problem, but Jewel was really broken in easily with the branch. She bit and bit but eventually crawled over my hands when she had a branch.



I miss the early days with Wallace. I wish had some Jewel branch pictures. She came around rapidly after I started using a branch to handle her.
