I've wanted a Jungle Carpet Python since I was a kid. Still on the list of species I want to keep when I've got the space for it. That's an absolutely amazing looking one you have!
Yeah we have a Zebra Jungle Carpet, She just turned 1 years old. Ours have never not once even tried to bite us. But again she is not even food aggressive. We have found out through trial and error and some experts in Australia help to get ours to eat regularly. I 100% agree every snake is completely different.. We also have a Biak Green Tree Python That does exceptionally well being handled. You're able to touch his head, his chin and really enjoy him without fear of being bitten. The green tree python is also misunderstood.. But I am like you I absolutely love the carpet pythons... I am so glad that I did make that purchase...
I had a Biak GTP years ago and she was awesome and a sweetheart. The only time you couldn’t do anything with her was at night then she was just ready to eat no matter what. Day time though she could be handled just like a ball python. Thanks for watching!
If it isnt very interested in food it can be a sign of slight dehydration. Do the pinch test. If dehydrated bathe in 28-31 degree CELSIUS 20-30 minutes 3 times the first week, 2 times next week and then about once a month. The conception that carpets doesn't require much humidity is to an extent wrong. Ambient of 55-60% and buff to around 70% before shed. Many websites says up to 80% before shed and around 70% normally. That can very easily trigger scalerot. I separate the vivarium in 3 areas: Cold,humid(where I mist the substrate, and warm. Otherwise I mist walls and fake plants.
Carpets rule , and confidence is key handling snakes imo if you act like you gonna get bit you will , not saying you wont if your confident but it will happen at lot less the snake will be calmier due to you being calm
I got a young jungle a few years ago he bit me and drew blood every time I touched him I named him kujo but I kept at it and now he is awesome what a cool animal
When they’re young they can be challenging sometimes but if you keep working with them and as they age they normally snap out of it. It makes all the work so worth it in the end. Almost like a bond between you and the snake. Thanks for watching!
Glad to see people are enjoying these videos and finding them helpful. I do have 6 jungle carpets left from this season but I don’t anticipate them to be available too much longer. They seem to be good sellers lol. Thanks for watching.
My male jcp is 5 and still nippy and jumpy and I’ve worked with him since I got him as a hatchling. My bredli carpet hatchling is the sweetest tho. Love carpet pythons
Yea some just don’t fully snap out of it sadly. My 2 hold backs are sweethearts. The sire is a lot better than he was but still slightly cage defensive.
I definitely want one. Have for a while. I would like you to go through the different locales and looks they have. Im very attracted to the bright yellow and black as im sure most are. Cool video man.
I do plan on doing just that at some point but thank you for the feedback on what you would like to see in the series! I really appreciate that bro thank you👊
They really are I think anyway. They have an impressive size to them but not overly huge and with consistent handling they are just dreams to work with.
Patience is key, even more so with their cousins (GTP) Owned 2 import GTP for years, never been bitten or felt threatened and I handle them about once every 1.5 weeks. Can't wait to get a Coastal or coastal cross some time.
I love my carpets..have 4..had 6 over the years..hard to give them the handling time and patience when getting chewed on every 7 seconds..have had a few that would be totally handleable until for no conceivable reason would slowly..calmly latch on and constrict.,yes they are well fed by the way..only my carpets do it..! It gets old quick..I do still love them though..!!
Some of them are sneaky ninjas lol. I feel that if you get them when they’re really young and work with them a good bit they are little angels. Thanks for watching.
@@WarfelsMorphs i agree they are so misunderstood😢 For me they gives so much more than forinstance a ball python (no hate) Carpets are so curious, smart and interactive if you give them the chance.
@Warfel’s Morphs thanks hope I didn't rush myself into them too fast as just became a snake owner 4 months with male ball python and 3 months ago with female het clown ball python and now getting a carpet one :) last one on list after that is green tree python
Main thing to remember is that if you’re getting a baby chances are you’re going to have to take your time and socialize it because a lot of babies have a bit of an attitude
@Warfel’s Morphs I'm getting a 2 yrs old female. Problem I have is that nobody knows what she is. And that's important for me. To really know what she needs
If the person/breeder you’re getting it from can’t tell you what type of carpet python you’re getting from them I would not purchase that animal. Since some of the different subspecies require different care and requirements I would avoid getting that animal. Always buy from a reputable breeder especially when it comes to carpet pythons.
As adults I recommend getting a minimum of a 4’X2’X2’ pvc enclosure. PVC enclosures are I. My opinion the best way to set them up. As babies I keep them in my ball python racks with perching in the tubs for them and I will upgrade them from there accordingly.
In my opinion it’s a great routine to use a hook for them and a few other species just because they do associate the touch of the hook with the thought process of “ok I’m not getting fed I’m going to be held/worked with” it’s just my opinion but I highly suggest it. It certainly can’t hurt as well lol. But ultimately do what works best for you and your animals. What works for me may not work for you and vice versa. Thank you for watching!
@Eric Lucci if your snake is young start target training asap. It's very mentally stimulating for you snake and fun and entertaining for you. There are several videos on youtube explaining how. I've trained my 11 foot Coastal to drink from the palm of my hand😊
Ive never seen a Carpet Python "defensively" take a rat. I have however seen MANY carpets "aggressively" take a rat, so yes, they are "aggressive". PPL like to say that because they dont want to give a snake a bad rap. Its their instinct to Eat or starve, so yes, they are "aggressive" at times. Keepers who claim to know things like to use the term "food aggressive" as if its an "accepted term". If thats the case, then your also going to have to "accept" that means they have the ability to be "aggressive" especially around food and typically are. This also means if you get bit during handeling when its around feeding time, you got an "aggressive bite".
I strongly disagree, first off when you’re speaking in terms of aggressively taking a rat that is a response due to food being present. So of course the snake is going to strike because it wants to eat. If there’s the smell of food in the air or on your hands it is a food driven response and there is NO way anybody can say that it’s an aggressive response. Everything you mentioned is all revolving around food. The defensive behavior is from the snake telling you to get away don’t mess with me and or it’s scared so you’re getting a defensive reaction. A defensive bite is just that there’s no coiling or anything it’s just simply the snake striking at you or even landing a few bites trying to get you to leave it alone. The animal has NO intention of eating or coiling, it simply is doing what it can do to make you leave it alone. This is the behavior I’m speaking of when I mention defensive behavior. Food response and defensive is a night and day apples to oranges comparison. Thanks for watching.

Thank you I love my jungles. They are my favorite out of my whole collection. There’s always room for just one more remember that lol

He’s better out of his cage but still nippy with any fast movement or what not. Still love them tho. Best snakes ever

ya im gonna get a jungle too, theyre soooo sick. i think theyre a nice step after a ball python haha

Owned 2 import GTP for years, never been bitten or felt threatened and I handle them about once every 1.5 weeks.

I miss my GTP. She was a sweetheart during the day but at night watch out lol.
Lovely snakes just a little too high strung as hatchings for me.came close to getting one but went with a short tail instead.
It all depends on the babies. The 2 I held back ended up being really calm and laid back.
I love my carpets..have 4..had 6 over the years..hard to give them the handling time and patience when getting chewed on every 7 seconds..have had a few that would be totally handleable until for no conceivable reason would slowly..calmly latch on and constrict.,yes they are well fed by the way..only my carpets do it..!

that is the first time i see a carpet Python
They are truly amazing and beautiful snakes Snugster. I have to say they’re my favorite in my whole collection.
@@WarfelsMorphs i agree they are so misunderstood😢 For me they gives so much more than forinstance a ball python (no hate) Carpets are so curious, smart and interactive if you give them the chance.
@@LeperMessiah2 totally agree! I love my ball pythons as they are my main breeding focus but the carpets are my favorite overall.
In Australia, there is a myth(?) that having carpet pythons on your property will keep the hots away.
That’s funny 🤣 I wonder how true that is. Thanks for watching! Sometimes there’s some truth to myths like that
After got my first two ball pythons. I've decided to get a carpet python :)
Carpets are truly amazing snakes. Some may take a little work but the work you put into them is so satisfying. Good luck with your carpet!
@Warfel’s Morphs thanks hope I didn't rush myself into them too fast as just became a snake owner 4 months with male ball python and 3 months ago with female het clown ball python and now getting a carpet one :) last one on list after that is green tree python

What size tank do you keep them in?

Taking notes 😂
The one you’re getting bro is pretty chill. I’ve been working with all the hatchlings so they’re all pretty mellow
is it recommended to use a snake hook to get them out of food mode and maybe lift them out with it, or do you just pick them up by hand?
In my opinion it’s a great routine to use a hook for them and a few other species just because they do associate the touch of the hook with the thought process of “ok I’m not getting fed I’m going to be held/worked with” it’s just my opinion but I highly suggest it. It certainly can’t hurt as well lol. But ultimately do what works best for you and your animals. What works for me may not work for you and vice versa. Thank you for watching!
@@WarfelsMorphs looking forward to the rest of the series and will be setting up my tank based on your setups too. thanks!

My jungle jaguar carpet python is young and bitey but I don't hold it against her she is getting better but still very spicy
A lot of times it just takes patience and working with them consistently to bring them out of that behavior
