Carpet Pythons

I know some of you love the Carpet Pythons as well.....enjoy :)

Karma hatched last year on my 40th birthday :) I'm fairly certain Karma is a female, but I'm not 100% sure.
I got Karma when she was just 3 weeks old. She bit the guy I got her from when he tried popping her. So while she was latched onto his thumb, I popped her.
I'll get some updated pic of her fairly soon.

She was just 19 grams when I got her, & took a long time get get eating. She even dropped a couple grams in the beginning. I was worried about her, but she eventually started eating & has been a fairly good eater ever since. She's about due for another weight, but the last time I weighed her, was 2.5 months ago, at 63 grams.

Next is Tyr, my Jungle Carpet male. I took him in as a foster/possible keeper, when someone couldn't care for her snakes after losing her job. I knew right away that I wanted him to stay. He's got a fabulous temperment & I have used him to helped a friend who has had a snake phobia.

I love these creatures! I Had one but had to sell him due to me moving and rearranging stuff. Tough choice though :( Karma changed more then I would have expected, I though the brownish pattern would have gotten more red or lighter, not black?
 
Ooooo.... your guys are pretty! So that's the boy who came with the girl I'm taking home? He's handsome. Although, I must admit, I don't think I've ever seen a carpet python who wasn't :).

I love these guys too!! I'm sorry to hear that you had to rehome yours.
I think the insides of her bands will lighten up, but I'm not sure.

Thank you Irish :)
Yes, that is the one I was talking about. They did not come from the same breeder, but I got them both from the same person. (She got Tyr from CL before I got him.)

Here's a pic of Karma that I took today. I think she's pre-shed. Her shed process is so much longer than the corns.

Next is Daray. He's an '09 IJ Carpet Python. He's poss het Granite. I have a female from the same pair, that is a '10 baby. I hope to prove out the Granite.

Daray has a bit of a 'tude, can you tell?

Lol, I recognize that pose from trying to move around my baby boa last night, to see if he'd shed yet. He was not amused. XD Your carpets are beautiful, hopefully I'll have one this fall.
 
That female 'o mine is pretty! She's an '07, right? At that age, will the inside of her black bands lighten up, or will they stay pretty much pure black?

How much longer IS their shedding process than that of a corn snake? I've noticed that my boas aren't that much longer, but my BP takes forever to shed. The GTP has shed once.
 
Muhahahaha.... Now you're on the dark side, proper....
The addiction is bad in this one...... LOL
Fair play.... I really like the look of the IJ...

Thanks, but I do have a breeder in mind. Only problem is the snake would need to be shipped and I live in Texas. Gotta wait for shipping weather. :cool:

Who's the breeder?

They are beautiful snakes! What are their temperaments like, generally?

Thanks! Temperment varies, jsut like in Corns. More of an individual thing. I have heard that Jungles tend to have the worse temperments, but mine has a great temperment. A couple of my IJ's are pretty bitey, but they're still young. My baby Diamond cross & Coastal have both been fine so far.

Tahlaia is an '09, from what I'm told. She's likely a mix of some sort, so I don't know how she will turn out.
Each snake is different, I think. She is blue-ish now, appears to be getting clear. I think she will probably shed within the next week or so.

LOL ah yes, but this addiction is more limited by space. :)
I have 3 IJ's, an IJ Jag, a Jungle, a Coastal & a Diamond integrade. I wanted a baby female Jungle this year, from the girl who got me into snakes, but her Jungles are not cooperating...no babies this year.

This same friend is working on getting me into GTP's as well. :) I'll likely end up with one of her retired breeders at some point.

Wow... That collection has expanded.... LOL
 
LOL-yeah. I got Karma last July(when she was 3 weeks old),then two IJ's in August, took in the Jungle & IJ cross(that Irish is getting) when someone couldn't care for them anymore in October, then the IJ Jag in January, & I was only planning on the Coastal female, & was waiting for the right shipping temps, & made the mistake of looking at Luke's (Snell) babies again & added the Diamond integrade, & got them in April. The Jungle is the only one big enough for a full size cage right now. The rest are babies/young.
 
Jaguar?? Here's my IJ Jag :)
She hatched last year & is poss het Granite
