Why You NEED A Carpet Python!! 

I have two and agree with everything said here. They are beautiful and intelligent snakes that seem to be overlooked by many keepers.

So my carpet python doesn't wanna have mice, but will go instantly for a rat the same size or a bit larger. Gotta admin they always think, you can see them react to everything always. Mine is in a glass enclosure so has a view on the rest of the room. If I use the pc he will watch, like a camera 😁 At one point I noticed that the snake was waiting for feeding time, it was usually every 2 weeks, and on the weekend before feeding any of my snakes I used to vacome the room. And only the morelia noticed that after the human finishes the ritual with the noisy machine thing it's feeding time. Before I would have any rodents defrosting/giving out any scent, he was just waiting in the feeding part of the enclosure, ready. Based on me finishing cleaning the room.

Beautiful snake.

She is definitely gorgeous. Great seeing you handling her.

What a gorgeous animal.

love the Carpets man! I'm looking for a few maybe this weekend at the repticon. We'll see.

I had ball pythons for years then this spring I bit the bullet and got my first boa, then I got another, and another , then I got my first carpet and I'm so happy I took the chance so much more rewarding to keep them 2 species much more interactive with you and don't even get me started on how easy to feed they are!!!

Beautiful

I love Carpet she is beautiful .

Great video :) We've had our 4 year old coastal carpet for only a month now and we need more!! They are AMAZING pets, definitely needing a jungle next. They are just so hard to find in BC :( By far the most well mannered and easy going snake I've ever seen. On top of being able to view him daily exploring and basking, big yawns and adorable puppy dog face. Feeding him is so awesome, I just love how they use gravity to help consume the mouse and has yet to decline a meal. I would recommend carpets to anyone and everyone wanting a reptile, especially if they are 3+ years old due to the nippyness, but spicy personalities is also what makes this hobby so fun and keeps things interesting! :)

Great video Jeremy!!! Glad you did not take a bite, but not going to lie I would of gotten a laugh out of it if you did lol

I need one

First! Also, thanks! This was really informative!

She's a stunning snake. You are a lucky man to own three jungle carpet pythons.

Carpets are very well known for not going away from mice once introduced to them. You should feed carpets rats ONLY - they can eat rat pinks after hatching. The nutritional value is much better, not the other way around. No idea where you heard that nonsense. Additionally, rat bones are much softer and easier to digest which is much better for their digestion. I would suggest picking up Nick Mutton's book on carpets, hes the expert on them and its a fantastic book.

I definitely would love to have a carpet python I think they're one of the coolest pythons and still learning about the different subspecies with that said I wonder if each subspecies have different requirements in keeping them just trying to learn as much as I can about them that is one beautiful carpet python you have

From my perspective, she never once looked like she was even close to biting you in this vid. So I'd say you're doing quite well with her. Carpets are a little different to read. They'll do that "S" position very frequently as they're checking stuff out, extending way out then crunching back down. But it's different from an actual defensive posture. The eye contact is the thing I look for most. A defensive carpet will stare you down with laser beams. Regarding prey size, carpets can actually take HUGE prey. My male might be slightly smaller than her, and he takes large rats. I wouldn't have believed it before I started doing it... haha!

Beautiful Jeremy. Great video! Can I um...Borrow yours for a couple years to test it out??

I have 2 black & gold jungle carpets a coastal carpet, a het olive python and an albino olive python, an currently debating whether or not to get a scrub python .....love my carpets but I find my coastal and albino olive to be the most chill in my collection so far, my jungles and one olive get a small rat twice a month the other 2 are on large rats once a month..but then I've noticed rat size tend to differ between locations and sometimes even between stores in the same location...

I own a three year old male dwarf reticulated python and he's super smart too. Carpet Pythons and Scrub Pythons are equally as intelligent as Reticulated Pythons I think. I love Reticulated Pythons and Carpet Pythons the most. My next pet python will be a Carpet.

Torri Lorrini, animal behavior expert, claims that of all the snakes she has worked with carpet pythons are consistently the easiest to train... so I guess you are onto something there!

great vid :) Ive got a Jungle Jag and a Diamond, Carpet python.. My jungle jag is a male, and he is absolutely massive! especially for a male! He is a tad over 7ft long, and Suppper thick boi... Without being rude.. Makes your on in the video, Look thin like a corn snake haha But super beautiful snakes... I want more :D

What’s up I have a coastal carpet python she’s 12 years old and is just 10 foot. She sweetheart and loves jumbo rats lol

" you need a carpet python" The miniature raptor claws it has in its mouth proved that was a lie

I've never thought or out on gloves with an animal... Trust

My 2 1/2 year old male Jungle is 5' + and eats med. rats ( or chicks ) every 10 -14 days. He's wonderful to handle, most of the time. He's made me leak twice, once as a baby, once at about 2 years, both my fault.

I feel like if you handle your carpet often enough they don’t bite at all.. mine is 3 now and it’s only bitten my ex girlfriend (super smart snake) and that was the first day I had it. They tend to be “nippy” for the first year from what I’ve heard from others. Don’t worry about the gloves grab that bad boy 😅

I am gonna get a coastal carpet python as a pet

I'm from Australia and have 12 carpet pythons at home

If you feed quail, would you feed them more or less often then mice?

i do need one in my collection but havent pulled the trigger, maybe ill get one from you when you breed her..........

Your cage requirements should come with an astrick that says *BARE MINIMUM* It's a semi arboreal species and you say 2ft high enclosure is 🤌chefkiss perfect... In my opinion ( and opinions are like buttholes, everyone has one and they all stink) We as a reptile community need to treat our pets better instead of bare minimum being "perfect" Snake looks amazing! Subscribed to see more of her!ay your days be long and your snakes stay healthy.

You lost me at "collection".
