grumpy little buggers, sitting it out in quarantine until they can move into arboreal bio active setups.


both great healthy snakes, can highly recommend UK Pythons :)

Beautiful!! this forum really has me looking at carpets on a whole new level, love the second one! (starting to feel sad they are so unpopular here)

[lewis13]

Beautiful looking carpets!!! They are great snakes with great inquisitive personalities.

Congrats on the great looking carpets there Formica. I especially like the male. I'm doing my research on carpets now. I may be adding one to my collection in the near future :)

[formica]

thanks guys :) they are awsome, very feisty, but at over a year old, probably with little handling, that's not surprising.

Really nice formica. Any signs of neuro?

not so far, time will tell, will see how they react to a feed in a few days

I feel the same way about everything I see on here!! My list keeps growing, and my patience is shortening!

[formica]

by the far the most defensive snakes i've dealt with, had at least 10 good bites off both of them so far, actually got the gloves out now coz it was getting silly lol

messy buggers too, had to clean them out 3 times in 2 days...looking forward to moving them onto a proper substrate!

LOL Human Pin Cushion! Keep up the good work!:p

[shaunyboy]

good looking great pair mate

you have the ability to produce a varied clutch of stunning looking carpets

Paul at UK Pythons breeds some quality carpets,as does Olli over at Precison Reptiles


cheers shaun

fed them a few days ago, the female didnt show any problems at all in coordination, but the male was completely bent in his strike, he ended up in a knot at the bottom of the enclosure, something I've seen with other snakes who get over excited, so not ready to put it down to ''neuro'' issues just yet, and 2nd strike was fine

still both very defensive as expected, although the female chilled out nicely once she was out (another clean up in progress, damn they are messy snakes lol)

thanks man! yeah I'm looking forward to seeing what they produce! :)



when the time comes, I think I am going to allow her to incubate the eggs herself - any thoughts on this? do I still need to remove slugs? seems like that is a stress she doesnt need....well a long while off yet anyways

[CameronVarnish]

Nice! the first one's eyes :Wow:

[formica]

Nice! the first one's eyes :Wow:

even better in person, awsome silver color :D

he's in shed at the moment, will post fresh shed pics in a few days :)

[shaunyboy]

ive had a few Jags that got overly excited when it came to feeding,the rest of the time they showed no neuro issues what so ever

so i would not worry too much pal


cheers shaun

[Kimmie]
