New Girl - Grey Carpet Python

[Nero Egernia]

Just got a new female not long ago to hopefully one day pair with Grey. She's a beautiful big girl. Can't believe how heavy she is. Here's a few photos of her and my other South-west Carpet Pythons.



The new girl.




Grey. I'm sure I've already posted these photos before, but wanted to lump them altogether.





Pixie. The last photo is the more accurate representation of her colour. Although she does tend to change colours throughout the day.

Great photos, Oshkii. They show a wide variation in colours.

Thanks, they sure do. The female's not as grey as, well, Grey is. She appears to have a slight lilac tone. She also has a strange belly pattern, in my opinion anyway. I'll have to try and get some photos of it. Pixie on the other hand appears to change colour all the time. I'll have to wait until she matures.

All of these photos were taken with a Canon EOS 400D.

Another one. Was originally a wild animal but was turned in because she was attacked by a dog, has a few broken ribs and scars. Was offered this girl on the premise that she wouldn't eat anything at all. Thought I would give it a go. She ended up eating a mouse and quail first night home.

Interesting colours Oshkii, do you know what area it came from?

Locality's unknown. DPaW, or whatever they're calling themselves these days, are tight-lipped about that kind of information. I once saw a wild carpet that was sort of similar in the Shire of Gnowangerup, but she could come from anywhere. Their variation in colour and pattern's amazing. I'll probably only keep her until she's healthy, as I'm quite happy with my grey carpets.

Come again. Is that seriously a real town.
Where is the thought process when naming towns? It reminds me of the American town named Mianus.

Have you travelled much of Australia? I've been around, across and from top to bottom some 54 times and there's some ridiculous town names including "Boing Boing" in the Northern Territory, "Bong Bong" in NSW, "Boyland" in QLD, "Broke" in NSW, "Cock Wash" in South Australia, "Cockburn" in Western Australia, "Chinaman's Knob" in Victoria, "Pimpinbudgie" in QLD, "Tittybong" in Victoria, "Tom Ugly" in NSW... Many of the funny town names are actually aboriginal names and some of the signs you see would leave you shaking your head in wonder.
The best would have to be the MacDonald's sign as you drive into the town of Yass, a town in the NSW Tablelands southwest of Sydney.

Yes, Gnowangerup's a real town. The name is Noongar. Its meaning is "place of Malleefowl". Cockburn is actually pronounced "Coe-burn".

 

[Flaviemys purvisi]

Cockburn is actually pronounced "Coe-burn".

That's only because someone has tried to "church it up" like Joe Dirt did by putting an 'e' on the end to make it Dirte ~ Deer-tay. LOL

 

[pinefamily]

There's a Cockburn here in SA, pronounced the same way. Not sure about "churching" it up, think it's more to do with the vagaries of the English language.
Edinburgh and Edithburgh. Why are they pronounced differently?

 

[Flaviemys purvisi]

Regardless of the pronunciation, when people drive past that sign that says "Welcome to Cockburn" They see it exactly how it reads... lol
