The Non-Anti Coastal Parade

[salebrosus]

I have 5 coastals and all are unique in there own way. All but one of mine have never bitten, the other although he hasnt bitten is a little more nervous than the others.

Brutus is 10ft and and i think people are mad if they can't appreciate big beautiful carpets like him.

they are described as being the largest of the carpet snake brigade

attaining on average a larger size than other colour variants

thats a good point maybe??

i have 5 of them too a couple i got as adults and the rest i bred
i got the adult s cause they are a good price and where largish

the offspring are a few years old now but are not what you call big for there age

I have many coastal carpets here. They arrive and I just can't bring myself to get rid of them.

My first captive bred snake was a coastal carpet python and she, Cleo, is still the Grande Dame of my collection today. Other than a food response bite (or if you are Recharge), she is quiet and docile and I can happy tug her out of her enclosure to sit on the shoulders of a visiting child to give them a 'thrill'. Cleo is responsible for furthering the cause of 'snake' here in Brisbane and amongst many interstate visitors and many a new keeper has arrived on the scene thanks to her appeal, quiet nature and magnetism.

After Cleo there came many other coastal carpets, then other carpet species, other pythons, colubrids, and the list keeps climbing. Cleo was the reason for my addiction to reptiles, the reason I continued to gather them around me. My experiences with her were only positive and caused the passion to grow.

Likely if I had to choose a preferred species, the Coastal carpet wouldn't be it. The top spot would probably go to one of the colubrid species. But the beauty of the human heart is that there is plenty of space for many and the Brisbane carpet has a nice solid little place in mine.

Long live the common, variable, enigmatic coastal carpet python.

I like my coastals because they bite Bugs

I like my coastals because one bit me ont he wrist and I had puncture wound across my wrist - I looked EMO - I was cool for a week.

I like my coastals - because I take the boy outside and he poos on the lawn and not in his enclosure. He holds on till he's outside!

I like my coastals because they'll breed with ANYTHING!

I am thinking of getting a bredli/diamond/coastal cross - wow, that'll be so cool... and I almost have all those snakes now... nya ha ha ha ha....

OK - Craig, if you're reading this I am joking - honestly...

Coastal carpets are definately one of my favourite morelias, i doubt i would ever keep any though.

[cement]

I hate coastals because their big, ugly and unintelligent.................Oh hang on I'm in the wrong thread, does this thread have a twin?

Haha, i love all snakes, baked, boiled or fried!
