just picked up my new carpet python.
i think he is a costal carpet an is due to shed but unfortunately the shed got a little torn while getting him out of his old viv but have given the viv a good mist so hopefully he will get it all off himself as he is a bit bitey so would be interesting if i have to help him out.
anyway some pic's of him
did get nipped a couple of time's but he only drew a little blood
being sort of calm
and not quite so happy

he has a good strike range for a little snake, could easily tag me from a foot away.
he has always been a been a bitey one while at the rescue center but should tame down with regular handling.
he shed an crapped last night so got some pic's after cleaning/checking him
and this is the thank's i get for cleaning his viv

Thanks all.
Yea he is very alert and assumes the strike position soon as he sees me in the room, yes the afrock tag is going to hurt when he gets me lucky the tags from the carpet dont really hurt.
He is due a feed so will defrost him a rat later then will make a handling/biting video of him in a couple of days |

little update on the new carpet python.
he has been feeding no problem but turn's out the hook is no good for getting him out as he would climb straight up an go for my hand
this was interesting getting him off without getting tagged
i have been handling him every day apart from after a feed with glove's on just to stop him tagging my finger's but he is calming down very well, didn't tag the glove's at all when i got him out last night but did tag them after he had been out for about 10 minute's.
hopefully before long i wont need the glove's while handling him |
