More Carpets!
Fedex just delivered my latest acquisitions... 1.1 2008 IJs and 1.1 2007 Striped Bredls! This brings me to 9 total carpets, and I think these will be my last until I produce some of my own. Camera is charging right now, expect pics later today/tomorrow!

Re: More Carpets!
Male Bredli. Very calm and docile.
Female Bredl. This girl's pattern is VERY clean, just wish she wasn't so undersized!
Male IJ. A little jumpy, but good temperament and color.
Female IJ. This girl is a LOOKER. She also appears to be quite hungry (lol) and very flighty.
I was really hoping the Bredli would be larger, but apparently the first owner fed them mice for the first 3 years, and the 2nd didn't feed them particularly heavy either. I will try to get them caught up and just see if they produce this season, but I'm pretty doubtful. I will update this thread with pics again once they all shed!

Re: More Carpets!
Definitely love the IJ's! Congrats, I'm jealous. I am just getting used to my new girl, but I hope to get a young one in the future.

It is actually Casey Laziks line. And the IJs are VPI.
I really like the female Bredl as well, but the female IJ is really growing on me. Every time I have opened her tub, she darts out as if to ask "ARE YOU FOOD? NO? ARE YOU SURE?" lol
Apparently they have been feeding well on F/T small rats, which is quite small for them (5-6 ft), so we'll see how they like mediums this weekend before moving them to larges in a month or so

Thank you, I'm pretty proud of my little collection
I opened the tubs to check on the snakes, and one of the IJs darted out so I just picked him up. He seemed inquisitive so I let him climb around on me. He was squeezing pretty tight so I went to put him back, and apparently triggered a feeding response. He got me pretty good on the hand, and I could FEEL his teeth digging into the bone. Not the most pleasant experience, but he let go without me needing to break out the alcohol. Also, pic is AFTER I had already cleaned it up once lol. Finger is a bit bruised and swollen today, but could be worse

Re: More Carpets!
Great looking carpets! Nice bit too.  My coastal jag. was pretty nippy when she was young. But it has been about a year since she has tried to bite me. Partially since she is getting older, larger and more confident. In addition, I have learned how to handle my carpets with out making them so nervous.

Re: More Carpets!
to me the way carpets bite first,work out if its food later,is one of their endearing qualitys 
makes for a more interesting snake and helps to keep you on your toes,i love learning to read each individual carpets nature
re feeding response
i use a trickle of cold water from the bath tap,to get feeding responses to let go
that or i unhook their teeth using my other hand
an adult carpet leaves a lot of bruising when it strikes you,maybe even stiches depending where it gets you
 JUST GOTTA LOVE CARPETS
cheers shaun
