Did you have any plans for breeding or were you just curious? Either way it is a beautiful snake!

Nice! Beautiful snake. She reminds me of my Coastal Carmen. She's about 5 and around that size. Haven't taken the time to accurately measure her

Actually had him with my male Diamond x Jungle the year before and nothing happen. So last year i took my Jungle x Jag (male) that had been looked up with my female Coastal on and off for over a month and stuck him in with my Jungle. And nothing happened so just for the hell of it and practice i probe him. Talk about shocked. Sucks to because i thought i had 2.2 but instead i have 3.1. So now i have two males needing girlfriends. My Jag is going to be put with my Coastal again this year.

Izzy is really dark now as she's getting ready to shed! I'm going to visit a friend of mine in the spring that should be having a clutch of Coastals. I love the look and temperament of pure Coastal Carpet Pythons. Your snakes are gorgeous!

Re: Morelia adult sizes
I have a 2009 "female" IJ who I'm realizing now is really, really small. I'm not sure if it's because "she" might be a "he" or perhaps she's stunted because she will only eat mice no matter what I try. I'll get a picture soon.

Re: Morelia adult sizes
I just picked a JCP who is around 9 y.o. and when i picked her up for the first time i estimated her to be around 20 lbs. I also have a 5 mth old daughter who I know for certain to be 18 lbs. The other nay I put the new jcp back to bed then picked up my daughter and theres at least a 5 lb difference. So when i get her onto a scale ill post her actual weight when I know for sure but shes a beast for sure.

Re: Morelia adult sizes
Carpet Pythons (Like every other species) will grow at a rate in which they get food. EI, Eats more, gets larger. Easts less, stays smaller. It's as simple as that.
In the wild, these snakes have a "lean" diet. It's not uncommon to see mature female Jungle Carpets at 3 1/2 - 4 feet. My captive females are barely 4 and are reproducing.
But, I have friends with animals from the same clutch at the same age that are 8 feet. They feed more than I do.

Re: Morelia adult sizes
I'm gonna guess it's her diet then. She eats 2-3 Jumbo mice per feeding.
No idea of her weight but here are some pictures. 5 year old "female", 5ft long.
Sorry for the poop cellphone pics. It's been a while since she's been handled and all she wanted to do was GO FAST

Re: Morelia adult sizes
My biggest is an 11 year old Diamond girl weighing in at around 3.8KG, she's not a heavy eater. I'll post up my results after I do my weigh-ins on the weekend. My Male Jungle and Bredli Jag are around 2KG and my 3 1/2 yo IJ is a bit over 2KG and still growing.

Re: Morelia adult sizes
You should really specify WHICH Morelia... M. boeleni (Boelen's pythons) can hit 14 ft. (Source: Caring For The Boelen’s Python )
M. Kinghorni (Ameythistine (Scrub) Python) 18ft+ (rumored to 20)
Some of the smaller carpets 5-6ft.
Tl;dr: The morelia complex is huge and sizes vary greatly.

Re: Morelia adult sizes
It should also be said that "Wild" average size and "captive" average size vary greatly.

Re: Morelia adult sizes
Well hopefully mine have some growth spurts. They are definitely behind all of y'alls. But I feed less often, so that is probably the reason. I feed on a 10-14 day schedule.

Re: Morelia adult sizes
2011 M 75% Bredli- 2311g
2013 F Bredli - 658g
2012 M IJ- 1285g
2011 F IJ- 2422g
2009 M Jungle- 2211g
2012 F 75% Jungle- 1565g
2010 M Diamond- 1876g
2003 F Diamond- 3843g
2010 M Darwin- 1600g
2013 F 75% Darwin- 309g
2013 F Darwin/IJ- 277g
2013 F Darwin/IJ- 276g
2013 GTP- 360g
2013 M Woma- 630
2012 F Woma- 1713
You can notice the difference in grown rates between the 2010 Darwin and the similar age Carpets; He was raised with light feeding.
Also the 2013 Bredli is much larger than the other 2013's They were also raised on light feeding at the breeders.
The rest were fed moderately; at around 2KG I cut back the males food to around every 21 days. At 1KG I switch females to every 2 out of every 3 weekends and males to 1 out of every 2.
I can e-mail a detailed feeding/growth tracker to anyone interested (PM me).
