Reptile & Amphibian Forums

Sorry to bug you with the OT post but I spend all of my time between the Rat and Corn forums so thought I would share with you guys.

I went to the Indianapolis show today and found exactly what I went looking for. I wanted to change up the collection a little before adding more of the NA rats. I have been looking at the IJ Carpet Python for a few months now but have not found many available for less than $200, but I found an '04 for only $125. To make things even better a friend gave me a free 24" Neodesha cage. It won't fit the carpet for too long but nice to know my next rat has a home ready for it in a few months.

I also got a new digi last night so these are the first few pics I took with it. It is the new Canon PowerShot A510. I am definatly a fan so far.

Congrats on both a nice new snake and new camera, oh, and the new cage too! I like Irian Jayas. My Carpet is a Jungle/Coastal cross. Very nice temperament and good eater. He's a tad over 7 feet. Have fun with your new addition!

I got mine last November at the NARBC show. unfortunately the litle bugger won't eat. I have force fed him once so far, and am planning on picking up some live mice this weekend.

Good luck at getting him to eat on his own. I am going to try to feed tonight so we will see what happens. That is if I can get her out of the cage. She is pretty fiesty! Was or is yours a striker too? I just figured I would rather get bit now than when she is 7'...

Nope, he/she is a little sweetie. No striking at all. Heck if it was I bet it'd be eating at least!

Good luck to you too!
