Reptile & Amphibian Forums

I haven't had a camera in over a year, so I don't have any pictures of my more recent purchases (jags and 1.1 mbb line coastals) but here are a few of my older carpets.

Coastal male

Jungle male

Jungle female

That is a nice looking group! What is the background on that first pic (coastal male)? His color and pattern is very cool!!! And do you have any background info on your jungles? Well, once you have a camera again be sure to put pics up of your more recent purchases!

I got that first guy from Mike Curtain in New Jersey. I saw him on Kingsnake for a very cheap price and immediately picked up the phone and placed my order. He didn't provide me with any genetic info and honestly for the price I got I didn't care

The jungle male I got from a local breeder around Austin, TX. Believe it or not I was in a pet store and a guy was in the store trying to sell him and the store wouldn't give him a good price so I made him an offer and ended up taking him home.

The jungle female I picked up at the Austin Reptile Expo in 2009, I can't remember the breeders name but he had that girl sitting in a container and it said $25, he said she was so cheap because she was absolutely vicious and would tear my face off. He made me promise not to let her out until I had left the expo. When I got her home I found out that he was absolutely correct, she was the angriest snake I've ever handled. It's took me about a year to get her to the point where she will let me handle her, she's been a great learning experience as she was my first aggressive snake.

I also have a pair of '09 striped coastals I got from Python in a Pear Tree in January of this year in Austin.

In march I purchased an '09 Coastal Jag female from Richmond Constrictors. She was what I thought was the best looking of the clutch and he gave me a very good price. He even allowed me to do 2 payments since it was right around the start of a new school semester and I was nearly tapped for cash. He was great to work with, responsive to emails and flawless shipping. Here is an older picture of her, she has shed twice since:

That is a great looking jag!!! And on the mean one, I honestly have grown to like the feisty ones more and more. Makes my weekly routine more interesting. Guess I need some scrubs again That is pretty sweet you got such a good deal on her and that she has settled down for you. Carpets aren't the demons many people make them out to be. Anyway, thanks for posting the pics, and keep them coming!
