Lost A Jewel, Found A Gem!

**Gio** · 04-22-2022, 02:36 PM

This girl hit 2 years old on April 12.

She's put on some size but this locality seems to grow slowly. She's still bitey and twitchy but I think she's slowly settling down.

Hopefully I'll get some outdoor shots of her soon.

I agree with Rich. Gem looks GREAT brother!! That enclosure is super cool too!

I'm getting the crew ready for the winter season. These are probably some of the final photos of the year.

Gem is looking good these days. Like the late Jewel, her colors are holding up.

Not a morph and doesn't need to be with this pattern and color scheme.

I imagine at some point she'll start to display some reddish tinge which is common for the locale. Side note, the water is clean here, the glass needs a wipe down but I knew if I opened it I'd miss the photo OP.

Other than her snappy attitude, (slowly improving) she's fantastic.

My buddy JM has a half sibling of Gem and his male looks similar. I'd like to see more of this locality around the forums. They are somewhat rare, but not overly hard to get once you know the right people.

Gem will get one more winter of feeding before she joins the rest of the snakes here in a seasonal fast.

I expect her to put on a bit of size soon, though I'm in no rush to get her large.

I'll post up again in the spring.

Well, nobody's perfect!

She looks great & obviously enjoys the activity, & staying toned.

I had a few stray photos from inside the cage.

This should be a wrap now until next spring.

Its hard to believe Gem is a locality and not a morph.

Thank you Mother Nature!

April 12th was the 3 year mark for this girl.
As stated several times in this thread, Gem is a Brisbane, locality Coastal Carpet python.

She was in shed during her actual birthday and finally shed out a few days ago.

She has grown a bit. Unfortunately the weather is still too cold for the deck rail pictures.

Here are the gym pictures of her.

I'll post a few more when I'm not as busy.

Happy Birthday girl!

It's obvious she's been working out!

Lookin' good.
