The world is an inexplicable place...sometimes things happen for no reason at all...chalk it up to fate...
Poor guy.. sorry Joc.
Ob la di, ob la da.... I don\'t see any reason not to snag a noob.
Yeah they are really beautiful. I haven\'t seen one around here at the little shop I go to, but maybe at a big expo I could find one. Where are they from? I think I want to avoid a snake that needs high humidity. I\'ve done it before, and may do it again, but might want to avoid that hassle. These guys are pretty good to handle? I\'m not really a collector, and since I only have one snake, I want it to be one that I can interact with.
They are Australian. Hatchlings can be a little bitey, but they grow out of it once they have a little size on them... as hatchlings they think everything wants to eat them so they are a little defensive.
Humidity is not an issue... they come from a fairly arid area, so you don\'t have to do anything special.
wow they are really pretty. I want one.

Good to know. I had a Brazilian Rainbow Boa (you want to talk about a nippy baby! Initially she would strike as soon as my hand was in her tank.) who needed very high humidity and I always had a hard time getting it right. I experienced mildew (even with a screen top) on top of other problems, and it made me decide to not do that again.
What type of carpet python do you suggest I look for? And what is the difference between a carpet and a diamond python?
Is one just a subspecies of another? Your look like what I thought were Diamond Pythons...
So I got a new snake today. Don\'t know if it\'s a male or female yet, and I probably won\'t try to figure that out for a week or two. Want to wait until it\'s settled in before I stark poking at it. It shall be named something in tribute of Jeff Goldblum.
I also got James a triped beardie. A bunch of people at the expo were making fun of her and laughing at her and it made me sad so I took her home for next to nothing.

so you poke at it to determine its sex?
Yes, basically shove a stick up it\'s ass. If it stops, male...keeps going in, female.
Umm, what I meant was it isn\'t good to handle or bother a snake when it has come to a new home for a while, so you don\'t stress it. Jeez guys.
No pics of anybody yet; I\'ll post \'em when I\'ve got \'em.
