Reptile & Amphibian Forums

i have been reading like every care sheet i can find on carpet pythons and they all say the same thing.

since most carpets are from Australia and i pretty sure there not aloud to ship animals out of Australia, wouldnt that make all carpets besides iran carpets to be captive breed.

thanks for the help

and if world so cold reads this i saw you say you have a pit wolf mix could you please post a pic of it, im a huge fan of pits.

Certainly, just about all carpets outside of Australia are captive bred animals. They are fairly easy to breed so they are very readily available in the US.

I'm amazed at how common they are now and getting cheaper all the time. Many years ago, when I first got some, they were much harder to find in the midwest and more expensive. I actually bought my first one at a reptile shop in California when I was at a conference there and had it shipped home to Ohio. Now they are one of the most common items at any reaptile show anywhere.

I'm glad they have become popular. They are great snakes. I love them!

There have been a number of almost ALL types of pythons smuggled or exported with permits over the years.

If you really want pictures of my pit ill email you them, shes my baby didnt feel like uploading them etc. worldsocold06@yahoo

There are no dumb questions, they just become dumb when you ask the same thing over and over

Australia will allow exporting of its animals, however you need lots of permits, etc, took a frined 8 years of papers for two geckos or something like that.

Even the IJ's are captive bred, pretty easy to breed, so makes importing pointless really. Cant sell the mass amounts of imports they would need to, to sustain a positive income from it.

I think there are more rough-scaled pythons in the US than Oenpellis. Not sure if I spelled that right, lol

Honestly I am shocked as well. We purchased our first two at Tinley this year. 1 month later we got one from a rescue friend down south, Lovely tempermented adult coastal. This past january my rescue got 2 more in. An adult coastal and a baby IJ. I went from 0 to 5 in less than 6 months.

Not objecting to the rescue ones. One of the benefits of running a rescue. Altho with my personal collection being bloods and carpets, I wouldn't expect to see much come through

I think it was the mid to late 80's when I got my first carpets. Reverse trio, and they gave about 15 eggs the first time. Coastals.

Kudos to you for rescue work! My favorite ball python was a rescue and he is one of my best friends!

I recently took in a beautiful Coastal-Diamond cross as a rescue. He was terribly underweight and likely abused. He had suffered some kind of spinal injury about 1 foot up from his vent and is partially paralyzed from that point down to his tail. I hate to think of what happened to cause that, but in spite of that he is puppy dog tame and a real gentleman. I'm caring for him diligently in hopes of getting him back to a fat healthy python.

There are a lot of stupid people out there. If I knew who actually did this and what they did, I'd probably consider breaking giving them a spinal injury in return!

Thanks, I am just kinda amazed at the level that came into the rescue this year! Carpets are not that commonly kept as far as I see. It is amazing what people will do to animals.
