Spring 2022 on the deck.
This is the very first time Gem has been outside here. She is a Brisbane, locality coastal carpet python.
I'm surprised how beautiful this non-morph, locality animal is. Her colors really pop. Mother Nature provides my favorite colors and patterns.
She was extremely defensive and bit and coiled my glove hand when we got outside.
That said, she looked beautiful.
This guy, Kevin is a Bredli python and he's a chunk. I could not believe how heavy he was today. This animal has boa constrictor density.
The span of the deck rail here is 8 feet. Kevin is not stretched out, but to get perspective I wanted to mention the length of the span. My old girl, Jewel went the full length and a tad more.
Kevin was also a tad defensive today but he calmed quickly.
These two different species are by far my favorites in the carpet group. I will say I do not have experience with Diamond pythons. I'm sure I would enjoy them just the same.
I have to say these Bredli are not only large and impressive, they are also almost bullet proof when it comes to husbandry.
