I'm looking for advice on my current situation! A few months ago I purchased a 2.5yr old male south west carpet from someone who had handraised him but no longer had the time and space to care for him. So basically he'd neglected him and the snake went a bit feral -the seller was clear on this-...

Hello everyone. I'm new here, but not new to reptile forums. I decided to join because I just acquired a Coastal Carpet Python, and I hear this is where the pros are. Anyway, he is about 14 months old, 175 grams, and 1M long. He seems very healthy. He is active and very docile. A great snake...

Can you put the two together? I've got a Darwin and coastal together, and they get along fine, but I was wondering if you can put a jungle and coastal together, similar sized.

Anyone know what this bad boy is? Sorry for the dodgy crop, not my photo but I'm curious as to what it is. Was at Bunnings along with a BHP you can see in the background (just). Cheers

go a tag from my rough scale last night though i would post the pic

Would like to know if this is a Jungle or a coastal carpet... sorry the pic is tiny :/seller says it's spilotus variegatus?

Hey guys i have a diamond python probably about 6-7 months old and she has stopped eating, it has been about 4 weeks maybe more since she last ate. All the temps are perfect and she isn't stressed. got any tips guys?

Hey guys picked up one female jungle 26months old and one male about 1 year old. Got them both for 250$ which is a bargain, so very happy with that, the male is quite cage defensive and bitten me once already. Just wondering how I can pick him up without him going into his defensive stance and...

Hi everyone Ursula is 18 months old and this is her first winter with me. The weather here in Melbourne has really dropped - hitting 2-3C outside in the morning and only getting to around 14C during the day. Even though her enclosure is 30C at the cool end, 37C at the warm end and 40C on her...

So I got my first snake a few weeks ago, A cape York Python, not sure how old... not very old either way, feeding pinkies every 7 days. Just wanted some info on it. Correct me if I am wrong, but being a Cape York Carpet Python makes him a coastal python? What is the Scientific name for a Cape...

Can somebody confirm for me the correct scientific name for Bredli? I have seen it listed as Morelia Bredli, and in other places listed as Morelia Spilota Bredli. Could somebody please confirm for me the correct scientific name? Thanks.....

I live in Hervey Bay qld, found this little fella next to passenger side front tyre. Just curious to what it exactly is. Thanks

this is probably a naive thing to post but some things i come across seem to conflict one another unless young snakes are the exception but basically this is the deal; most sources recommend giving your reptiles a natural light source for their skin and general health and basking etc. the thing...

Hey guys and gals. I'm callan from newcastle, NSW. I'm 19 and just looking at my first snake. Just asking a few questions as im a noob so no hate but tell me if I need help ;) I'm tossing up about a red bredli and a albino python. going more towards a bredli as there are some hatchlings at snake...

Just wondering when everyone moves new snakes (hatchies in particular) into new enclosures after they get them?

It may just be me ,,But Really ????? This boy looks like he has had the life bred out of him not dragon like at all

Hi :) I am looking for my first snake and i have been offered a port macquarie python. She is just over 2yo and only about 2 foot. I believe a port macquarie python is a natural cross between a diamond and a coastal carpet. I have been told she is a little flighty but doesnt bite (although i...

Seen a few posts of people pointing out wrong/strange classifieds while lurking around, came across one myself now. Was browsing through gumtree and spotted this ad. Was listed as a spotted python, but I'm pretty sure that's not a spotted python :lol: Comes with enclosure too (had no pictures of...

Just after some advice :) What breed of python do you think is a good first python? What age should i get one at? I have also been offered a Port Mac python who is 2yo and have been told she is a little flighty but wont bite..she isnt being handled too much at the moment. Will she...

Hi all :) I am new here. I am looking at breeding some pythons. I am unsure as yet to what type of python to breed. I am looking at breeding some kind of python that will sell rather easy but also want a good natured snake. I will be raising it from young as well. Any help would be great!

Just wanted to show off a few hatchies I bred this season, I haven't included them all but just the one's that really stood out for me - rather pleased with a few of them! :D First off some Palmerston Jungles which are Krauss x Montgomery lineage. There's always a few that swing in each...

Since a lot of people seem to have trouble working out sizes needed to comply with the CoP, I've been thinking about making a spreadsheet for people to use for working it out. It could have a list of species to choose from and give the minimum requirements directly. Would people use something...

Hey just thought i would introduce my self, my names Nick and i am very new to keeping snakes. i just bought a stimsons python (windorah locale) three weeks ago, and i thought it would it would be best to join a forum just in case i needed any help. although i am new to snakes i have kept a...

Hullo, I'm new here and just saying hi. I haven't got my first snake yet, simply because I can't choose haha (totally open to suggestions). That said, I look forward to sharing my snake/reptile keeping experiences with you guys :D

just curious to know if it is illegal or legal to breed a bredli to a coastal carpet i cant seem to find a definate answer for it im not looking at doing it im just curious to know what cant isnt allowed to be bred together out of the morelia sp.

Hi all so this little guy is being sold on gumtree as a high yellow diamond, but he looks exactly like my bubba that was sold to me as a coastal can someone please ID these for me, will post mine in a separate post thanks :)

Hey guys thinking about buying a caramel carpet python, does caramel mean it may contain the hypo gene? Here is a picture.

Hello lovely herpsters. Of course, its pretty obvious what to do in these situations but.. It was feeding day just over a week ago, got a lovely rat for my Jungle Carpet Python called Monty (yeah i know, not really original :P). Like usual, the powerful constricting show took place. However in...

im wondering what u have to do to "cool" snakes for breeding and when it has to be etc

Hey all as you know when i first got my albino i had trouble gettin her to eat yes? Well cause she was in the enclosure i put her into her click-clack(right temps, right humidity, freash water and everything was mint!) But she wouldnt eat for two weeks in there so i put back into her enclosure...

hey guys, just been browsing a few threads and found myself a bit confused, basically how different are the jungle and coastal carpet pythons, i know they're meant to grow to different lengths but from a few images it kinda looks like you can't determine from colour. there's the obvious jungles...

When is breeding time? If I was to put two bredlis together now would they still be in mating season to breed? Sent from my C6603 using Tapatalk 2

I am really confused at my newest snake and wondering if anyone can explain some behaviour. I have 4 pythons but this new one; a Coastal Carpet is really weird. It has had a few feeds with me and every one was weird. This snake wont strike when offered a rat and it wont start to eat at all...

I bought a coastal carpet python last week and I just thought I would share some photos as I don't have any friends that appreciate the beauty of reptiles lol! He is the most docile snake I have ever come across! He follows me around the house if I let him out, he just wants to be next to /...

So who else's Snakes have started to go off their food? Would be interesting to know. As I comparison mine are as follows: My smaller MD (about 3ft and 220g) still coils his food but no longer finishes his meals. Last was a 5 day old chick on 28/5 The bigger MD (about 5-6ft and 1.5kg) doesn't...

Im looking for someone who lives locally to munno para west to help handle my very snappy female caramel coastal, she is 7 months old, she is very snappy in and out of her cage, she bites a lot, she has bitten my partner over 10 times, my house mate about 20, me once, and my other house mate in...

I am getting so scared of my snake, i am getting so tempted to give up and sell her and get a hand tame hatchie or something, but i dont want to have to do that, she is a gorgeous snake, but for the last 7 months she hasnt been handled and majorly assotiates hands with food because she was only...

So the reptile bug has well and truely bitten and I now want 10 of every type of python!! Well not quite but you get the gist. The thing is I want them to be our pets and part of our family so to speak. Unlike dogs where if you have 10 of them you can lavish attention on them all at once...

Hi all, My Nana found this on her verandah at Coolum (Sunshine Coast, QLD) yesterday and send me a photo of it. Can someone let me know what this or what you think it is closest to? Thanks, Harley

Hey guys, being in Darwin I have a great opportunity to see some rare or not very commonly kept captive reptiles. Fortunately I have been given the opportunity to purchase a "rare" or not so common albino Olive python hatchling this coming breeding season. My question is is the asking price of...

A post in another thread got me thinking about this and I thought it might be interesting to find out opinions on the subject. A lot of the time when relative newbies ask about Jag breeding, they are warned against breeding Jag pairs as probability says about a quarter of the clutch are doomed...

so got a question for those who understand the new regulations on enclosure sizes in nsw im going to start building some new enclosures to house my new jungle jag and coastal hatchies when their older , i am thinking of going 1600mmL X 800mmH X600mmD my question is , with the new...

:( It was the first calendar day of winter yesterday. However wild coastals don't read calendars and some are still feeding! BTW - this photo is "in situ", This is exactly how the animal was found and it had not been moved or manipulated prior to photo.

Hi all I'd like some advice please. My new IR thermometer just arrived in the mail today so I did a reading of my snakes skin temperature. Previously, I'd relied purely on ambient temperature readouts from thermometers in the enclosures. The snakes body temperatures are a lot lower than I had...

Hey every one, So what I do for my hatchings is i partition a 60 cm enclosure into two, one snake in each partition as seen in this pic. This works great for me and all snakes I've had like this seem to thrive. I have two coastals in this set up and they are around 4-5 months old. After...

Tonight I tried my Cape York Jungle (3.5 months old) on a pinky rat - She has been on fuzzie mince and close to ready for the next size but thought out of interest I would try her on a pinkie rat (people say Jungles can be fussy going to rats....so I though Why not?) She smashed the pinkie...

Whether they're just plain janes, or something a bit more I'd like to see your babies..This is my Coastal Jag girl Dayah. And My big girl Panzer from when I first got her a little over a year ago.
