    Awesome pickup my man!!!!! Kevin is a handsome dude!! His colors are awesome. I dig the hypo a lot, it's beautiful, especially once they lighten up towards the front but maintain the dark back section.

    Fernie is in shed, I'm expecting Wed or Thurs night. I can't wait to see her new colors.


    I'll be keeping my eyes on this thread for sure!!!

    Congrats!!!
    Well,

    You do have a beauty yourself so I didn't want to feel left out.

    I did get a few more pictures when my kids came down to check Kevin out.




    His colors are crazy. The coloring and pattern are very interesting. I am happy he darkens toward the last third of his body and there are still some blacks present.


    He's going to be put up for a bit so this series of pictures will do it for a while.

    Gio,

    Kevin looks amazing!

    Mazel Tov!

    Keep us updated. Cannot wait to watch him grow more, but he's already a great size.

    Those new pics are awesome!!! You can see his size better and the lighting shows of the color gradient.

    As much am I'm loving my two, I can't wait for them to get some size on em. They're so darn cute when little, but so impressive with some size.

    How is your crew?

    This guy seems to look much larger in pictures than he is.

    I'd say 3 and a half feet is where he's at. Granted these are not a giant species, they are one of the largest carpets. By comparison, the SD X Dwarf retic was pushing 7+ feet at the same age. Kevin will be 3 years in September.

    I think Nick keeps his potential breeder males smaller than a normal pet owner would and I'm somewhere in between the two.

    Kevin will get a bump up in prey size and frequency for the spring/summer here and then I'll likely fall into the system I use with the boa constrictor here.

    Feel free to post a photo or two of you Bredli here.

    I'd like to see them!

    My crew is solid. Still missing Django the King, but such is life. It's part of keeping pets. I actually just sit at his grave for a few minutes and said "hi" in my way.
    Everyone else is good though.

    I'll get some post shed pics of Fernie posted in a few days. I'm sure I'll be excited to show her off
    And I just took some outdoor pics of Cornell, stay tuned, sorting through them now before posting a few of the best of the bunch.

    Both of them are doing EXTREMELY well. Fernie is chill as can be. I often joke I could go into Tyson's (BP) enclosure blindfolded and get him out. Fernie is already the same way. She's well past the point that I even consider getting tagged. I can touch her head, rub her tiny chin, whatever and she's fine with it. Curious, but docile as can be.

    Cornell is coming around well too. He's still a little skittish, but basically just spooks and "S's" up if I or my fiance move too quickly. No strikes or defensive behavior at all though. I'd be pretty surprised if he even struck at this point. He will occasionally strike at the camera though, apparently he's camera shy. Hahahhaha.


    When you got Kevin out the second time was he super docile? He looks like he was curiously checking things out by his extension in some of the pics, but puppy dog chill. I really think you'll enjoy Bredli. They check pretty much every box you're looking for.

    Wow! This day keeps getting better! What an AWESOME addition Gio! Kevin is a stud! It's cool that you get to bypass the baby snake stuff and get to enjoying your animal in it's prime. Great pics and a great choice bro! Congrats! After the rehoming of Wallace I'm very stoked for you. A big snake without the big attitude.

    Thanks everybody,

    And thanks Zig! The main reason I went this route, other than the fact I have always wanted a Bredli, is the age factor. Don't get me wrong, he's still young and timid but I'm at least able to skip tiny mice as feeders and other micro organisms that one would offer.

    Bredli have a great reputation for being mellow, but somehow I still think a baby would gladly take a few swipes at me if given the chance.

    How old is your Bredli?

    While we're all here, I might as well add that over the last few weeks, I've talked to Nick Mutton a bit. He's quite social.

    THE COMPLETE CARPET PYTHON II

    Is not too far off I am told. So if you are a carpet fan, get ready!

    Conrats on your fine looking animal Gio. Looks like you have a keeper for sure.
    The one thing I found that you can count on about Balls is that they are consistent about their inconsistentcy.

    Congrats! He's gorgeous. I'm glad he's fitting in so well, and maybe he'll mellow out a bit more in a few years.

    I played with the idea of a carpet python for awhile before I got River, and I held a few in person. They definitely acted a lot like River did when she was a baby. She's still interested in getting into stuff, but with size she's gotten slower so that helps out. XD I still need to keep an eye on her, but she's not off my body in the blink of an eye anymore. haha The carpet I held was grabbing EVERYTHING within reach and I basically needed to be another branch for it crawl onto to get it back into its tank.
