Snakes & Exercise

[EL-Ziggy]

Zig,

You have a male Bredli too don't you?

I'm close to getting my guy out for some pictures when it warms a bit. My fella is a September 2017 hatch. He's not overly long right now but he is quite the dense package of muscle.

I read a thread a while back that you were expecting your Bredli to be your largest carpet. How's he doing these days?

I'm missing my Jewel. She was an 8+ footer before she passed. My newer crew members here are not there yet, and there is no rush but I wouldn't mind seeing your male Bredli since we share the same species.

Brother Gio,

Jewel will always be the Queen of Carpets on this forum to me. We all miss her. She was a beautiful specimen. I have to admit that I'm a bit disappointed with my male Bredli. I really thought he was going to be a big boy, but he's actually the smallest of my 5 carpets. I have no idea why this guy doesn't grow like the others. He's kind of a finicky feeder but I still thought he'd put on more size. He'll eat mice anytime but only eats medium rats occasionally and I usually have to scent them. He's a 2015 animal that I got in 2016. Here's a picture of him and one of my 2015 JCP. The JJxJCP in my original post is a 2016 animal. As you can see there's a huge difference. The Bredli is about 5' and still pretty thin and both the jungles are 7'+ and much thicker. The Bredi is one of my son's favorite snakes though so he's not going anywhere.

2015 Bredli w/2009 kiddo.
