2018 0.1 Brisbane Coastal Carpet Progression

[Gio]

Howdy, partner!

Yeah, she’s probably twice the mass of the Rockhampton, maybe more. Don’t have a weight on her yet though. I got an extra pair of RBI mini hides for her but she kinda spills out the sides of them. Will give her the small hides I’ve got but they take up more space in the tub. I think she’s got plenty of room in this 11qt but may move her to a 23qt before long.

Definitely a much heftier frame than the Rockhampton too. Even the structure of her head is so much different. Much more broad and flat. So cool to have two of the same species that look completely different.

I say snatch up one of those Brisbanes from Michael Pennell! Drink the koolaid, come join me...

Way back on an Aussie chat board I brought up the discussion about head variation between different species of carpets. The coastals, certain types, seem to be known for wide, flat heads. The Darwins I've seen seem to have almost a puffy, balloon look to the back of their heads.

Bredli have a really chunky look to their's.

JM, I'm tempted to Jewel to the former Wallace cage.

That cage would be exceptional for a Bredli once mature. They have a huge climate variation in their natural habitat and I could really mimic something like that in a big cage.

That said,,,,,, OOOOhh what a female Suri would like in there once grown.
