G'day all,

 

This little guy/gal has decided to visit us this year. At almost 1m long this Carpet Python is the first one we have seen in the 10 years we have been here.

He sems to be using the plant (Ficus pumila ) as a hammock.

He is now holed up just above the frog pond on a ledge.

The pond cantains over 80 Motororbike frogs so I can't see him moving away any time soon.

 

Enjoy

 

Col

That is a beautiful carpet mate, looks more like a northern coastal colour type, I have a few similarly coloured animals from up Yanchep way. If you get sick of it eating all your frogs let me know, I've got a few snake relocation mates who'd be more than happy to take it off your hands

Hey Col,

Great to see your on the forum


Nice snake, how's Lyn feel about it

[Jules]

that's a wicked looking carpet.

hey ice, got any new snakes yet?

I got a WP on order from Bill Stewart up north and have my new baby black head hatchling from matt at PM coming in 4 weeks, super excited!

 

sorry if I hijacked the thread a little.

Got a few new additions mate! I'm still waiting on the right BHP to pop up.

 

Looking forward to seeing your WP mate, I might have to come over for a beer and have a looksie.

I wonder if it is a local or a pet that escaped...

[Jules]

speak to mat, he has some wicked little hatchies that will be coming up for sale real soon!

 

I also thought the same to myself to werdna.

One way to find out! See how it handles

 

Or offer it a rat, wild caught SWCP don't seem to like rats until they have been weaned onto them.

 

I had a look at Matts hatchies last year and have been keeping an eye on his FB posts this year, his hatchies are nice but they aren't really what I'm looking for.
