Who would've thought Pythons would bite.
Even a small Goanna! Had my Flavi try to eat my hands through gloves yesterday. They thrash around too if they get hold of you.Get bitten by a large goanna and a hatchling carpet python will simply be child's play.
Ya i'm getting his proper enclosure built at the moment so I've got him in a small temp one which has things for him to hide in. Heating method is a heat lamp and also sun exposure during the day. I only paid $60 for the actual snake its self as I got it from a family friend... Maybe I miss heard him and though he meant mine was a jag.. Just googled a jag python and I know he does have one of those. I'll ask him again when I see him what mine isPerhaps more of a larger hide with only one opening (I used a coffee container lid with a hole cut out of side)
Also what is your heating method and where is it?
Unfortunately some snakes just love to nip! The bites are definitely defensive, I think the fact you hover over her for a while while she doesn't have much hide helps,
Just a few tips,
Use paper towel or newspaper on the base(if she wants to she will hide underneath)
Also let her settle in! Everything new to her, keep interaction to a minimum for a week or so..
Just realised this vid wasn't post creator! But still take the msg
@Kichie As kitty said it def isn't a jaguar, I hate to say it but sounds like you paid for more than you got
Ask the breeder for pics of mum and dad or ask if you can see, if they refuse, it could be kind of dodgy as they could say it's a jag morph but it's really just coastal x coastal
