Jungle Carpet Python Appreciation thread!

[KUJordan]

I agree that not all Morelia are nasty. My friend has one that is the same size as mine and it is the sweetest thing you could imagine. It's more placid than my brother's ball python. I am just sore because I think my JCP is better looking than those of my friends, but I can't do anything with it...at least they can all hold theirs...

Well I have found that with a little work and patience,, pretty much "All" of the Morelia can be tolerant (I say tolerant because even though a snake seems calm and placid, THERE IS ALWAYS a chance of bein bitten) of proper handling, THAT BEING SAID........ Please handle at your own risk the bite of a larger Morelia is kinda nasty, I've been bitten a few times at work and not only does it hurt but it bleeds ALOT...
We have a couple of younger ones in at work now, that I am currently taming down the best I can, as younger snakes they will tend to be a tad bit nippy, but the more you handle them the calmer/More Tolerant they'll become...

Just my personal experience....

like I said I was just being grumpy and my feathers got a little ruffled.... tends to happen a lot more lately actually... hrm...

but I saw this baby that was a little bit bigger than abby at a show and it was starting to turn yellow... so I'm guessing by her next shed she start turning.. ^__^ I'm really excited!! wish I could be there for the molt.. we're driving back up to indiana this next few weeks so maybe I will get to see her... :clap:

Ok so i dont have a jungle carpet but i do have a pair of Irian Jaya carpets.

this one isnt a carpet but i figure we might as well include any other moreila as well. He is a Biak local gtp.

Nice Pix! I had one that ate only mice as an adult, I should have turned it to rats a bit sooner but it was very nice.

That is an amazing looking carpet you have there...boy or girl?

Also on a sad note, my jungle carpet seen earlier in the thread died 2 days ago...he suddenly stopped eating and I found out he had mites. I treated him for the mites but still he refused food until the end. I'm thinking now that he may have had something more serious than mites like internal parasites because I fail to see how a case of mites would cause his demise...although I could be wrong because he was quite young.

My little male:

Out of the four snakes I have, he's the calmest.

I suspect he isn't a full M. spilota cheynei. Probably has some other Morelia spilota in him.
