2020 0.1 Jungle Carpet Python Progression

[jmcrook]

I’m seriously considering it, just want to do some more research first. Plus I’ve been tearing up Morelia python radio trying to learn as much as I can before I take the plunge.

I’ll check out herptastic though, AP did throw in some cage locks that I forgot to add and was trying to put for, and was super apologetic about the wait but still, I’m at the 8 month mark.

I’ve seen some differences of opinion but, if I did want to go ahead and put in an order, after quarantine do carpets do well in an adult enclosure when young, or is it better to move them up overtime like some other snakes?

Fantastic! I highly suggest the Carpet Python Round Table episode with Steven Katz and Riley Jimison (and maybe another guest I’m forgetting?). Lots of good info all around. And the Bredli Round Table is great too. Honestly can’t think of a bad episode. I listen almost daily through their back catalog. Happy to suggest some specific episodes as I think of them.

I’ve been moving mine up gradually as I have a number of different tub and enclosure sizes in my room available at any time. It can certainly vary between individual animals, but I know that some other Morelia folks here have gone right into adult enclosures with lots of clutter and hides with no issues. My 2-3yo carpets are in a divided T8 currently. May move them to a divided T25 next or maybe even go right into their adult cages when they arrive.

I just personally like smaller enclosures and moving up gradually as it’s easier for me when spot cleaning and making my rounds through my snake room. I don’t like sifting through tons of substrate hunting for bowel movements and a smaller, but still adequate floor space helps in that regard.
