    Getting Better With Age

    Kevin is growing rapidly now that I've upped his prey sizes. He eats about once a month but I've increased the size of his food.

    His coloring seems to keep improving.



    The length is coming on now. Like, Jewel, his sister species (Coastal carpet mix) his growth seems to be happening a bit later in life. Kevin is a September 2017 hatch.

    Those of you who keep up with the deck rail photos may notice something different. The new, white gutters on the house. You won't see the new roof as its rarely in the background, but very soon the house and deck will have a new coat of paint and this deck rail show will have a newer look to it.

    Thanks Richard!

    One thing, probably my favorite thing about this species, is the shape of the head.

    It's the boa constrictor equivalent of a laterally compressed body.

    I like the variety I have here but I wish I had another boa, a BCC would round out my wish list here.


    One more Kev shot.

    Heavy like a boa.



    The carpet group is very arboreal and said to be "graceful" by some.

    I agree, however arboreal doesn't have to equate to having a light body.

    These Bredli pythons are dense for their length.

    Kev feels like my boa when it comes to density .

    He is my most arboreal snake. He just edged out the retic I had here a couple years ago.




    This species is close to bulletproof when it comes to husbandry.

    He's a bit darker in the winter months but I'm banking on some nice orange colors this summer.

    Updated Photos.

    Thanks to El Ziggy, I decided to join the "Snakes And Exercise" topic with an update to Kevin's progression thread.

    In Zig's thread we were discussing size and I'd asked to see photos of his Bredli. Zig has a 2015 male and I have a 2017.

    I decided to put Kev on the olympic bar and snap a few pictures.

    This bar is 7.2 feet long. Kevin is not stretched out, but he's obviously not 7.2 feet long. He has however grown since the last photos were taken.


    There is no question this species packs more density than other carpets at the same length.


    It was hard to get decent quality photos of him as he was moving a bit. He and I have been getting a long a lot better lately though. He went through a mini phase that seemed to pass as he put on more size.


    He's very dark in these pictures due to the lack of real UV light over the winter. I'm looking forward to getting him on the deck rail in the coming weeks.

    Thanks for stopping in!
