OK, so before I get the ribbing I know is coming, when I first purchased Jasper he was attacking his previous owner and did nothing but strike the box all the way home, so I THOUGHT he was gonna be a touch nasty. However, I think a weaner and a small rat has calmed him down a touch.

As you can see he is deep in shed mode, but acted perfectly (NEVER allowed near my head), didn't strike once either. All in all I handled him for a good 10 mins and he went back to his rub without a fight. Man he is strong!


Excuse the chava jacket, I was prepared for a battle so wore clothes I didn't mind being bitten.




Cannot wait for him to shed as he looks to have a brownish tinge to him, but you never know till they are wearing new clothes.

All in all one happy owner.

wish you lived closer, would love to come see him, i dont know anyone round here that has carpets ...or any snakes come to think of it..

Yeah, one thing with carpets is that they are strong AND very fast. They are so different to royals it's commical

is he very strong Karl? he is lovely...

really I don't mind. It's amazing how your mind changes, I sold Surf (mainly as I got a bloody good offer) as I didn't want a BIG carpet, 7 monthsish later I don't mind
