been waiting for 4 months till I got me this new pet, and since it (unsure of sex yet) is such a crazy mad cool pet, I called it jarpi (from the dudesons, if anyone has seen it before)

Its a Carpet Python or Morelia Spilota and it is approximatly 40cm long right now and as thick as a pinky finger...

Picked it up today and letting it get settled into his new enviroment before he gets a feed from me, tomorrow should be feeding day.

Mine is in the attached pic, but is the same as the one shown.

I think you can feed them rodents and the like, most of your larger pet shops stock frozen as well as fresh rats :roflmbo:

Reptiles are not easy, and a lot of work has to go into their environment, temperature, feeding frequency etc. so its quite involved.

An old friend of mine was a herpatologists (sp?) and staying the night at his joint was always a 'one eye open affair'!!!

He had close too 500 mice at any one time, he bred them for his pets. I still remember the day he showed me how to do it.

Grab rodent by tail,

flick on the edge of the coffee table, to render them unconcious,

feed to hungry snake!

But the bastard wasn't interested and the mouse came around again, and before the snake (now hungry) got to him, he lost his left eye! Notch up one for the rodent, but he didn't last much longer after that gutsy move.
