Female carpet

[Gekkocha]

Here are some shots of a female I picked up this July. I got her from a young college gal who had a hodgepodge of exotics. This was her only carpet and she didn't know enough about keeping them so she decided to be rid of it. She sold it to me for $100.

I'm not sure what type it is, and have no backgroung info about her (all that the seller could tell me is that she aquired it around two and a half years ago as a hatchie), but I'm happy to have her.

Nice coloured carpet mate, a bargain definately!

[codeth]

is it a coastal? i might be wrong though

nice btw

[raist]

Nice looking snake What other exotics did she she btw ?

[Gekkocha]

Yeah, codeth I've been thinking of her as a coastal. That's my best guess anyhow.

raist, she had lots of stuff in every room of her house. I saw ball pythons, skinks, a couple of iquanas, chinchilla, leopard geckos, bearded dragons, several ferrets, and a bunch of cats. She was inclined to sell the snake off because she was intimidated by its fierce feeding response and size.

I had been lead to the deal by a tip from a friend and went there to check it out not fully knowing what I would find. "she has a female carpet" was all I had to go on. When I saw the snake I gave it a quick health check and threw down my cash! A very decent looking female in apparant good health that is almost to breeding size for a hundred bones was not something to quibble about LOL. I wanted to get it and be off before she changed her mind.

I have this little male tiger coastal and hope to pair them up eventually. He's a yearling, alot smaller that she is and has some growing to do, but I'll have her waiting for him when he's up to it.




With her coloration I think she would be great to pair up with a jag coastal, but they are a bit toward the upper limit of my price range..........we'll have to see what can be arranged :wink:

Cheers,

Yes, sorry I wasn't more specific. When I said I was hoping to "pair" her with the stripe male I was referring to breeding.

Triptych, I would like to see some pics of your stripe.

I would also say it is a Coastal and you got a great deal and fablous tiger there too.
Good luck!

I`m quite possibly wrong but could it be a Flinders/Gammon ranges carpet???
I`ve seen some that look a little like that.
