Thank you for watching Christopher. I totally agree that so many people over look them due to the bad reputation. They are truly an amazing species and I hope that through my channel I can get other people to see how amazing they truly are!
Thanks brother and sister! I find myself handling her a lot more frequent now as well. Still use the hook to help get her out but after that she’s just a joy to handle!
Thank you AronRa, I think that all carpets are just breath taking. They’re definitely one of the most beautiful snakes out there in my opinion. Thanks for watching!
Great video :) We've had our 4 year old coastal carpet for only a month now and we need more!! They are AMAZING pets, definitely needing a jungle next. They are just so hard to find in BC :( By far the most well mannered and easy going snake I've ever seen. On top of being able to view him daily exploring and basking, big yawns and adorable puppy dog face. Feeding him is so awesome, I just love how they use gravity to help consume the mouse and has yet to decline a meal. I would recommend carpets to anyone and everyone wanting a reptile, especially if they are 3+ years old due to the nippyness, but spicy personalities is also what makes this hobby so fun and keeps things interesting! :)
Thanks for watching Hayley! I know I’m super excited to be having my first jungle carpet clutch which is actually due this week. But there is nothing remotely close in my opinion that can match the beauty and the amazing was of a carpet. Like you said as well you get to see them a lot in their enclosure so they’re great to handle plus they’re normally out where you can actually enjoy watching them.
@@WarfelsMorphs Congrats and best of luck with your clutch! I'd LOVE to breed carpets one day, I'm just worried about lineage and researching soo much on how to tell purebreeds from crossbreeds. Any tips there? haha PLEASE make a video about your clutch's journey, I'm sure others would agree they'd love to see it too :)
@@hayleypura1181 I will definitely be putting updates on the clutch once it’s laid and hatches and so on you can count on that! As far as telling visually if something is pure that’s something that in my opinion is almost impossible to tell unless the breeder has full lineage on both sides. I only have lineage on one of my 3 carpets. I just want to make beautiful animals that I enjoy along with others. Lineage is cool and all but in all honesty it’s not a make or break with me. If I like the animal I like it lol.
I had ball pythons for years then this spring I bit the bullet and got my first boa, then I got another, and another , then I got my first carpet and I'm so happy I took the chance so much more rewarding to keep them 2 species much more interactive with you and don't even get me started on how easy to feed they are!!!
I know what you mean! Carpets are by far the best there is they just take a little work sometimes lol. Super smart snakes though and very in tune to what’s goin on around them.
@@WarfelsMorphs best advice from a new carpet keeper to another is slow and steady wins the race and there's no room for sissys in carpets be ready to get nipped it's not if it's when with carpets lol awesome video man!!!
So my carpet python doesn't wanna have mice, but will go instantly for a rat the same size or a bit larger. Gotta admin they always think, you can see them react to everything always. Mine is in a glass enclosure so has a view on the rest of the room. If I use the pc he will watch, like a camera 😁 At one point I noticed that the snake was waiting for feeding time, it was usually every 2 weeks, and on the weekend before feeding any of my snakes I used to vacome the room. And only the morelia noticed that after the human finishes the ritual with the noisy machine thing it's feeding time. Before I would have any rodents defrosting/giving out any scent, he was just waiting in the feeding part of the enclosure, ready. Based on me finishing cleaning the room.
They must be some big 7 month olds lol. My yearlings are on rat pups now and people tell me that for yearlings they’re big lol. I definitely wish we were able to get fresh blood from Australia.
I definitely would love to have a carpet python I think they're one of the coolest pythons and still learning about the different subspecies with that said I wonder if each subspecies have different requirements in keeping them just trying to learn as much as I can about them that is one beautiful carpet python you have
Thanks Rob! Lol I’m glad I didn’t take a bite too. Honestly I was ready for it because about the time I think something is good to go it proves me wrong lol. I’ve had her out a few times since and she’s done amazing!
Thanks Tom! Xena is probably my favorite snake that I own. I love the ball pythons but man there’s just something about a beautiful jungle carpet that just takes the cake lol. Thanks for watching and for all of the support!
Thanks Ozack! Lol you can’t barrow her but when if she gives me a clutch next year I can sell ya a hatchling from it and you can raise it up to be a sweetheart! How’s that sound lol
I own a three year old male dwarf reticulated python and he's super smart too. Carpet Pythons and Scrub Pythons are equally as intelligent as Reticulated Pythons I think. I love Reticulated Pythons and Carpet Pythons the most. My next pet python will be a Carpet.
From my perspective, she never once looked like she was even close to biting you in this vid. So I'd say you're doing quite well with her. Carpets are a little different to read. They'll do that "S" position very frequently as they're checking stuff out, extending way out then crunching back down. But it's different from an actual defensive posture. The eye contact is the thing I look for most. A defensive carpet will stare you down with laser beams. Regarding prey size, carpets can actually take HUGE prey. My male might be slightly smaller than her, and he takes large rats. I wouldn't have believed it before I started doing it... haha!
Thanks for watching Calvin! Xena has surly come a long long way from how she once was that’s for sure. As you said they are a lot different to read lol. I finally have her switching over to rats we have finally been able to trick her with the scenting so I’m transitioning her over to rats finally lol. Thanks for watching and I greatly appreciate your support and feedback hope you keep enjoying the channel!
Torri Lorrini, animal behavior expert, claims that of all the snakes she has worked with carpet pythons are consistently the easiest to train... so I guess you are onto something there!
There is no doubt that they are smart in my opinion. You just gotta give them some time and work with them some take a. Little more than others but they are hands down the most breath taking python. Thanks for watching!
@@karkatvantas9425 we don’t mean train like you train a dog. But by doing certain things like only feeding from one side of the enclosure as opposed to the other they will Lear and remember. Or touching them with a hook so they know it’s not a feeding. These are the things we are talking about with training. My big carpet girl knows exactly which side of the enclosure food comes in on and will sit there waiting and watching. Some snakes are actually intelligent. Carpets and retics are 2 of the smartest I’ve seen and heard of.
great vid :) Ive got a Jungle Jag and a Diamond, Carpet python.. My jungle jag is a male, and he is absolutely massive! especially for a male! He is a tad over 7ft long, and Suppper thick boi... Without being rude.. Makes your on in the video, Look thin like a corn snake haha But super beautiful snakes... I want more :D
Thank you for watching! Yea I think mine being mousers has a lot to do with their size too. I just can’t seem to trick them lol. Thank you for your support and there will be a lot more carpet content coming!
@@WarfelsMorphs Ive subbed dude.. Looking forward to more vids :) Im actually travelling for about 4 hours tomorrow, To go view, and potentially buy an axanthic female.... Be nice to add her to my collection :)
My 2 1/2 year old male Jungle is 5' + and eats med. rats ( or chicks ) every 10 -14 days. He's wonderful to handle, most of the time. He's made me leak twice, once as a baby, once at about 2 years, both my fault.
Xena is now over 6’ and eating medium rats. As far as handling goes she has become a pleasure to handle I just need to make sure she knows she’s not getting fed when removing her from the enclosure. Thanks for watching!
Lol some need to be worked with more than others but I truly do believe that they are one of the coolest and best snakes out there. For me getting bit didn’t hurt it was just annoying lol. But with some TLC and consistent handling and some time they are truly amazing.
Carpets are very well known for not going away from mice once introduced to them. You should feed carpets rats ONLY - they can eat rat pinks after hatching. The nutritional value is much better, not the other way around. No idea where you heard that nonsense. Additionally, rat bones are much softer and easier to digest which is much better for their digestion. I would suggest picking up Nick Mutton's book on carpets, hes the expert on them and its a fantastic book.
Thanks for watching Jt. 2/3 of the carpets I own were started on mice and took a while to switch them over to rats. Took scenting and a lot of patients lol. I do plan on getting Nicks book here at some point.
Awesome!!! The coastal are surly known to get to those larger sizes. I bet she’s just amazing to work with! Thank you for watching and I appreciate your support!
I feel like if you handle your carpet often enough they don’t bite at all.. mine is 3 now and it’s only bitten my ex girlfriend (super smart snake) and that was the first day I had it. They tend to be “nippy” for the first year from what I’ve heard from others. Don’t worry about the gloves grab that bad boy 😅
Xena is very handleable now. She was a very nippy snake for like the first 2.5 years of me owning her. I got her when she was about 1. The gloves helped calm her somehow so that’s what I kept doing until this year when she has finally mellowed out lol.
Thanks for watching Michael! You guys there have such amazing animals! I know the carpets are my second focus by I tell you what it’s hard not to make them the equal if not main species I work with. They’re by far the most beautiful snake I have ever seen.
@@WarfelsMorphs yeah we are pretty lucky with the native reptiles here in Australia 🇦🇺 my high yellow jungle male is one of my favourites but I've got a bunch of different morphs like zeb jag and silver pepper it's hard to choose a top carpet python of mine
@@michaelbell1181 I’m so jealous! Lol eventually I want to get a pair of Julatten carpets. I think they’re very beautiful as well. But there again my favorite recessive in ball pythons is Axanthic so I think it makes a lot of sense. But I do believe Australia has some of the most beautiful reptiles in the world!
@@WarfelsMorphs my zeb jag is a striped het axanthic 💜 I hope she'll make ghost and axanthics for me with the right male. Maybe you need a axanthic julatten 😎
@@michaelbell1181 that would probably be the best way to get the black and white but I think mixing things into the Julatten line is frowned upon over here lol
I’d honestly have to do a little research on how nutritional quail truly are. I would think though that you could feed them once every two weeks depending on the size of the quail and the snake. If you would like I can ask a few people and see what they recommend and say.
They are truly amazing and beautiful. I honestly think I love them more than the ball pythons lol. I’ll be breeding her this coming season so I’ll have babies next year if all goes well!
I never owned a snake and I got a jungle by accident and she grew into a 9 foot snake. Hanging out by garden by me. Hanging out with people who took her out of her cage during house parties with bass.. just crazy a sensitive creature has put up with so much she's just the best
With Xena I trusted her to light me up several times per handling for a while lol. The glove trick calmed her down and she stopped her biting which led to a much more positive interaction which in turn has led to her being very easy to work with now with no gloves. If I can come up with a way to have a positive interaction with the animals where they aren’t biting and stressing themselves out I go for it. Thank you for watching.
We just got our 4 year old coastal carpet and he's gorgeous! The most well mannered snake I've ever seen, we handle him almost every other day (except feeding days) and no bites so far haha. Once he is out of the cage it's smooth sailing every handle, enjoy your new friend!
Your cage requirements should come with an astrick that says *BARE MINIMUM* It's a semi arboreal species and you say 2ft high enclosure is 🤌chefkiss perfect... In my opinion ( and opinions are like buttholes, everyone has one and they all stink) We as a reptile community need to treat our pets better instead of bare minimum being "perfect" Snake looks amazing! Subscribed to see more of her!ay your days be long and your snakes stay healthy.
Let me start of by saying thank you for subscribing and welcome to the channel! After reading your comment I went back and rewatched the video to find the cage requirements part and I do state as a bare minimum on the 4x2x2 cage size. I totally agree though that going bigger is always better for the animals. Also thank you on the kindness of saying how beautiful Xena is. She is by far my most favorite snake in my collection. She always takes my breath away and now that she’s doing way better with being handled you will definitely see a lot more of her in videos and short videos! Have a wonderful day and thank you again for your support!
I have two and agree with everything said here. They are beautiful and intelligent snakes that seem to be overlooked by many keepers.
Thank you for watching Christopher. I totally agree that so many people over look them due to the bad reputation. They are truly an amazing species and I hope that through my channel I can get other people to see how amazing they truly are!
