Look at our smart girl. Isn't she adorable?

Broke down at the St. Louis NARBC show and ended up this little girl! Her name is Echidna, and she is a Coastal Carpet Python.

She would like the world to know that she is spicy and spring-loaded!

Oooh, girl! You’ll never believe what Sally said to Steph today!

4/10 for respecting privacy, 20/10 for spilling hot tea.

Beloved beast

Seconds after this photo she proceeded to climb into my jacket sleeve and all the way down my arm

I'm Australian and I love snakes so I made a snake character. Her name is Poppy and she's a (South West) Carpet Python (because I'm from South-West Australia). Carpet Pythons are also well known to be very docile and sweet animals, which I think is pretty cute.

Poppies symbolize the blood spilled and lives lost during both World Wars, as well as hope for a peaceful future. Lest We Forget.

She also has brown eyes with a little bit of green because I have brown eyes with a little bit of green :)

Uhhhhh snakes are really cool :)

I got a visit from a local legend today!

This is Rustle, the Carpet Python. They're named so for the sound of rustling leaves they make as they move. Other that, people in the street usually know he's around by their shed skin. Actually seeing them is rare to my understanding, so I feel blessed. Interestingly, my mum was alerted to him by a local couple that were making alarm cries. When my parents were harrasing Rustle with photograph, the magpies were surprisingly tolerant of our presence while we were taking photographs. Maybe we made them feel safe?

Rustle resting in a tree, or perhaps hoping g to catch a bird feeding on Wattle necter.

1 week update for Echidna:

She's settling into her quarantine enclosure nicely. She's had her first meal already and I'm giving it 1 more week before I begin the process of working with her.

Don't go walking at night without your torch on in Queensland...

I only saw him as I stepped over him! He's just trying to keep warm.

Irian Jaya Carpet Python, from a pet shop in Manchester

Fact from pet snake care : Carpet Pythons are large Australian constrictors, the smallest of which is the Irian Jaya Carpet Python. This beautiful and powerful constrictor reaches a length of 5 – 7 feet and is ideal for anyone who wants to own one of these impressive and beautiful snakes but has limited space. Some other Carpet Python subspecies such as the Coastal Carpet Python (M.s.mcdowelli) can reach lengths exceeding 12 feet.

Irian Jaya Carpet Pythons are slender constricting snakes with large heads that are very distinct from their bodies and they are found naturally in New Guinea and the far northern coast of Australia. These nocturnal snakes are also sometimes known as West Papuan Carpet Pythons.
