3 HOT Snakes
I was bored tonight and decided to take a few crappy indoor pics, of three of my carpets that I felt needed a few updated photos. I just love watching carpet pythons blossom... I really was hoping to get some of my ivory jungle too but he was hiding in his bird nest and there was NO digging him out of it without seriously upsetting him and the last thing I want is a regurge!
Whats nice about these photos is that they are raw and entirely unedited!!!
So without further ado here's Persephone... yes she IS really this yellow! Actually, in person, she is more yellow than this. It's a bit washed out. You would have to see her to believe it! Ow owwww!
Little Miss Hiss is getting, well... not so little anymore, she outgrew her baby tub and 2nd enclosure already and is now eating large adult mice! Wow! Just months ago she was eating XL fuzzies and small hoppers... this snake absolutely LOVES to eat and never misses a meal but the stubborn brat absolutely will NOT take it from me or my tongs. I have to tap her with it to let her know it's there and lay it on her log and she glares down upon me and if she could, she would spit on me, then she will happily eat it. I feel like I am making some sort of offering to a goddess... LOL! What I really love about this snake is that she seems to be getting BRIGHTER and is getting all this marvelous yellow on her face!
Lucky shot... just look at that stripe! And those diamonds!
Annndddd here's Rorschach in all of his extremely expensive glory!!! One hell of a jag he is! Buy cheap Jags, get a cheap looking snake. Buy an expensive Jag, get a snake you would never even find for sale at a show!! There was no way in hell he was holding still for these pics. He is that annoying snake, we all have one, you know, the one that the MOMENT you focus the camera he starts zooming up towards the lens to investigate. haha...

Love the shot of miss hiss... she looks so much like a Cape York carpet.

Re: 3 HOT Snakes
that jags going to be a stunner as an adult
re mice
i find it best to get carpets onto rats asap pal
sometimes the older they get the harder it can become to swap them over,as they have a taste for mice only
takes a lot of mice to feed an adult 
great pictures as always 
cheers shaun

Lovely snakes. Persephone, however, is my favorite hands down.

Oh trust me... I KNOW. It took me forever to get kisses to even look at a rat!!! Unfortunately they were eating mice before they came to me, so I will deal with it when the time comes. I feel than an adult mouse would be more nutritious than a baby rat of the same size anyways so I will fight the rat battle when it is time. My carpets also get chicks, and just the smell of chicks on the rats is often enough! I'm a pro at convincing snakes to eat what they don't want so I am not too worried!

i to know the stubborness of a mouse eating adult,i've spent way too many nights rubbing mouse blood and guts over rats 
i put all my hatchlings onto rats right out the egg
re nutrition
the reason i brought it up, was more of a stubborn carpet thing,than a nutritional issue pal
cheers shaun
