Jungle Carpet Python (Morelia spilota cheyneib) Intro

[KnownAsSnakeGuy]

Z0MG I go to Bob's shop to buy everything!

[1990flik]

i was worried about getting a jungle python because of the reputation, but i finally decided to get one :) i have a 12 month old female and she is soooo docile, i can feed her by hand, pick her up when shes coiled and grab her straight out of her feed tank...she hides in my pockets and flickers her tongue on my nose,,,, she beautiful couldnt ask for a better snake :)

[hubertgreen]

Do jungle carpet pythons eat many humans? My dad says they can kill 5-10 men at the same time.

[naafool]

@hubertgreen yea dude one killed a whole town and ate them in one day

[sk8m8d8]

@hubertgreen They will usually stay way from human contact in the wild, so your dad is a retard

[aaronmcintosh26]

oath mate. take mine out and it is like a dog at a beach

[TsS7VEN]

Lol hes talking like it is a reticulated python. 6-8ft is NOT a big snake.

[ArsNova1377]

it's Cheynei (without the 'b')

[gtyot66]

Are there any snakes that aren't carnivores?,

[AeyBeaCea]

@gtyot66 NO lol

[Ryanluvshispython]

this guy is a knob

[DirectRearInsertion]

i don't know what it is but for some reason i HATE Timberline now

[fantana1212]

learn how to answer questions properly

[Midnight2534]

What's the average weight for an adult male Jungle Carpet Python? I've got a subadult JCP (4.5ft) and im not sure how much I should be feeding him.

[jamesbeckermusic]

@Midnight2534 at that size probably hopper rats .. you want it so a bulge is left in its belly .. feed once every 7 days

[Midnight2534]

@jamesbeckermusic ok. how old is my jcp if hes 4.5ft male? he looks like hes crossed with a diamond python as well.

[jamesbeckermusic]

@Midnight2534 hard to say how, depends on different animals, could be anywhere between 2 and 4 years, most likekly around 3 and a bit .. JCP can look like coastals or look like they have diamond python genes in them aswell, but usually they dont, its just colour variation

[HeavyMetalSchnitzel]

lol i thought snakes only eat salad xD

[beckbeck25]

one of the rare snakes in Australia that ISN'T gonna kill you hahaha

[sugashane63]

i hav a corn snake and red tail boa they are both puupy dog tame im lookin at gettin a jungle at the new england reptile show but iv heard alot that they love to bite

[kuntrasha]

they get there name becasue the color of them could make good camoflage in the jungle? that doesnt sound right to me.

one would assume its because they are native to the rainforest/jungle of queensland.

[MissAMLynch]

i really want a jungle and it would be my first snake, but in know they can be nippy.

but if i get it as a baby is there anyway to get it out of biting me?

[MissAMLynch]

@MissAMLynch and i dont mind the size they get btw.

[kuntrasha]

@MissAMLynch everybody says these are bad first snakes bcoz there nippy. well i got one as a 1st snake and i wouldnt want any other. had her bout 7 months and she has never bitten me. they are just timid thats all. however there would be some bastard jungles out there. mines a puppy dog so obviously its wrong to generalise. i'd say each snake has there own personality regardless of what it is. just be patient and wait till you find the right one and ask the seller if its freindly or not

[MissAMLynch]

@kuntrasha thanks :)

[BowtechBandit]

@kuntrasha I have been by my one year old but it has ALWAYS been my fault!

[kuntrasha]

@BowtechBandit yea mine finally bit me after 8 mnths just the other week but i deserved it. i was trying to distract it with me hand so i could use me other to get a dead rat out of her tank. certainly distracted her :)

bein bitten is nuthin. she can bite me all day for all i care

[ADRASTOSindeimos]

@MissAMLynch their bites dont really hurt. especially the babies. So its not such a big deal if its a bit nippy at first as long as your not a super-pansy or anything. Ive had paper cuts that hurt worse than bites from smallish snakes

[beckbeck25]

@MissAMLynch my baby is a jungle python, and she was my first snake, only bit me once cause i held her food in my hand for too long- don't worry about nips from baby pythons, you dont even notice they've bitten unltil you you bleed, their teeth are so fine. as they get older and handled more, they will bite less so dont let a few scary strikes turn you off these beauuutiful snakes

[luvjasmin]

Looks like a standard carpet or poorly bred Jungle. The colors tend to fade as they age. Could be about to shed. Best snake for a starter is a ball python. Please get it (or any reptile) from a rescue and not a breeder. My jungles are adopted and the colors are stricking. Female is 7'2", is agressive and has a high feeding repsonse. I've yet to meet a ball python that has bitten. All baby snakes do tend to be nippy! I'm not an expert, this is just my experience.

[Cj0n3s12]

I am selling a 3 week old Baby Jungle Carpet for $140. Interested? email me at Cjcapecod@aol

[herpfreakuk]

i cant wait to get my coastal in a few months, :D

[Stace1319]

docile? yeah right. Mine is crazy! she never slows down.

[vocalchokal]

you should try turning the temperature down slightly. Should slow down if you get the temperature right. be careful that you dont turn it down too much

[Stace1319]

she usually is calm in her cage. she just gets nervous when we get her out and handle her. She is getting better though.

[Minds2Deep]

God i want one.

[pike024]

@Stace1319

yeah i have a 2 year old male JPC that i'm thinking about selling to a breeder (very high yellow) because the SOB won't stop biting me!

[BlackWing96]

@Stace1319 THATS WHAT SHE SAID!!!!!!!!!!

[luckybum13]

is that full size and u sure thats not a coastal?

[vocalchokal]

not a coastal, that is most likely a jungle from either a poor bloodline or one that has been in america for generations. they can even slightly change colour throughout their lifespan

[pathfinderdude08]

i live in queensland australia and i have like 30 of these in my backyard their really beautiful and dur they do eat meat but they grow to about 6-7 foot not 6-8.

their great, bredli pythons are also beautiful their a relative of the jungle and coastal carpets except the bredli is native to the northern territory in australia.

[ogormd07]

do you think that a cage 900mm long x 482mm high x 450mm wide would suit a carpet python ????

[ColdBlooded97]

No. 

(Ryan,ColdBlooded97)

[scarycannibaltrout]

I love carpets! of course all snakes are carnivores! Feed them once or two or three times a week they make wonderfull pets. Carpets or Ball Pathons are the best for beginers. Some say Carpets are more agressive. This is good to bear in mind for children as they are a more energetic snake. If you want a kids snake get a king snake or something.ssssss. Carpets are agressinve but good pets and good feeders and once the snake gets to know you it will love you.

[GrayArea007]

That snake is sooo cute!

[crumbsausage]

I have two jps one is so big it swollowed me, He then it spat me out again so lucky me.

but nice frendily snakes apart from that little incident

[cheshirecat14]

Lawl, sure.

[Regius101]

6-8feet??? Isn't it 6-7feet??

[hickerydickorydock]

lol i get one of them for my birthday YAY

[Draqonfly]

hahahaha ive never met a snake thats a vegetarian ?!?!? lol

[HeavyMetalSchnitzel]

@Draqonfly some eat (only) eggs... 

[drowningbybaptism]

"these animals are carnivores" duurrrrrrr...

[100smallvillefan]

you guys say arnty good for beginers your judging a whole species by the snakes you have i have a jungle never biten me very docile and all of my friends have never beeen bitten by theres (except for one but it was his fault he scared it)

[bazzgazm]

This is a very good beginner snake if you don't want a ball python. Mine has a very good attitude. Just get them young and work with them. Mine nipped for the first 2 weeks, then i moved him to a regular feeding schedule and he's as chill as anything. They do not just ball up though. they will move around. And not all jungles are bright yellow. They will mellow out with age also. and judging by that snakes size and temperment, i'd say it was a few years old. nice pattern though

[x0HERPER0x]

Haha the way the Americans say python is hilarious. In Australia we don't pronounce the 'y' as much and the 'thon' is more of a 'then'. And look how stressed he is, I wouldn't recommend this for beginners, I would get a spotted if I was a beginner looking for an Aussie Python.

[repScott1]

well then they would spell it PATHEN dumbass

[charlesp1078]

does anybody not think that that is an Irian Jaya Carpet and not a Jungle carpet Python?? :P

[sandyxklaws]

yeah yeah, i think this guy is kinda full of shit.

i have 2 carpets (jaya AND jungle)

and i have been bitten by both haha

not very docile at all and NOT for beginners.

but it looks WAY too dark to be a jungle.

or maybe just a shitty jungle

[vocalchokal]

male or females? males tend to be a LOT more docile and aggressive behaviour tends to decrease with regular feeding schedules. keeping that in mind, some snakes (just like humans) tend to be born really antisocial and tend to be pricks nomatter what you try.

[shadowscion]

antisocial != prick

[wochibraeu]

morelia spilota cheyneiB? they made a bad mistake...

[Tippmann357]

Wouldn't an enclosure be better if it were 4 feet high rather than 4 feet wide?

[CRproductions12]

no unless its arboreal

[Tippmann357]

Thank you kind sir

[CRproductions12]

you are welcome.

[p0909j]

jungle carpet pythons usualy dont grow as large as other carpet pythons and a 3ftX3ftX2ft would be fine for their whole life!

[coclhs944]

dude they get about 6 feet they can grow more so maybe something like a boa cage like 2hx2dx4l

[vocalchokal]

arboreal snakes prefer taller enclosures. because when they grow to be 6-7 foot, there isnt much in the way of climbing for them. ud probably want something in the way of 4h x 4l x 2.5d and bigger if you want to increase your chances of breeding

[Juggalo10p]

your insane if you think a full grown jungle carpet will be oomfertable in somethig so small my 2 are in a 4'long 2'high and 3'deep

[p0909j]

ha! you only needa viv half the length of your snake. if you needed a viv which is only a ft short off of your snakes length then you'd have to keep a full grown retic in a 20-30ft+ viv!

[escape889]

let me guess u just looked that up now and copied the first site u saw..?

[p0909j]

no i happen to have 2 jungle car[et pythons and they both have been thriving the way i have been keeping them :)

[x0HERPER0x]

Would a 3ft tank be large enough for about 2 years?

[Number3Pencils]

"Cheyneib" is a typo for "cheynei".

[pepe4330]

mine is gonna get 10 feet

[iamcarpetpython]

"Pan-Pan" is 8' now, and big around as a soda can.

[piotrek88888]

what is this guy talking about 6-8 ft my carpet python is 10 foot

[fearfulhaze]

six to eight feet is the average, although larger sizes arent unheard of.

[MolestedChimp]

females tend to get bigger hes talking about the males i guess

[dragonmissy]

i have one shes like 7ft now friendliest thing i Have had. SHe is the best

[charlesp1078]

hey,

i'm looking at getting a JCP and i was wondering what size viv you keep yours in as it is an adult. I have an old viv which is 4ftX2ftX2ft. Is that big enough??

[TooManySnakes]

Second! I've got 14 snakes, not including a carpet python...

[lickMYambush]

First.i hav one a those
