What on earth is a mareeba carpet?

scientific name: morelia spilota
locality: mareeba

From what I can gather it is some form of Jungle, Honey Jungle at that... Not sure if that is right or not though.

Mareeba is a Jungle Carpet python Locality (from what I have gathered using google) xD.

morelia spilota isn't a subspecies. It's all good and well to deal with species and localities, but unfortunately we currently have subspecies (cheynei for jungles, mcdowelli for coastals, etc). Mareeba is is up near Cairns, so I'm guessing it's a jungle (cheynei).

Yeah, looks like a jungle to me =) The pattern looks sorta darwin-ish, but the rest of it definitely looks like jungle to me.

Must be one of those new locality types, I've never heard of it either.

My Jungle at 15mo was getting 2 hopper rats a fortnight, moved her up to weiners when she turned 18mo.

Gorgeous pics.

The reason we said it's still hungry is a defensive strike will 'usually' be a hit and let go, where as if they start to hang on and wrap around like they do with food it suggests it's a hunger hit. You may not need to go to 'adult' mice but certainly he is past the need for weeners by the sound of it. I fed my Mac on Sub-adults so ones that were half grown but bigger than the weeners. The other option is next regular feed offer him 2 weeners. Like one of the others said... are the weeners creating a noticable bump in his belly?

The best way to get the snake to release you is to use a tiny bit of mouthwash on its nose. Snakebytes tested out heaps of different methods and this one worked straight away and doesn't harm the snake. Water doesn't work.

listerine would be the best, extra strength burns more!
