I currently live in a dorm and I've had a coastal carpet python for a while. She is fully grown and I am very connected to her. It has been my life long dream to live on a boat. I have checked and her enclosure will fit on the boat.what I'm wondering is will she be comfortable living on a boat, or do I have to give her up.

My girl, Lilith, is about 8’, and I am struggling to find a hide that will fit her! Her old hide, which was the largest I could find, only covers about half her body anymore 😅 Anyone have any recommendations or diy ideas? I want to be able to give her a brand new spacious hide for Christmas.

I would like a coastal carpet, not fully grown but grown enough to be comfortable in a 11 by 5 by 4 tank or slightly bigger. Pattern doesn't matter to me. Preferably in the US

I have a very large cage and I'm thinking about getting a baby coastal carpet. I was wondering how to Correctly makes sections that will make the snake comfortable and what size sections for baby juvenile and then I'll fully open it up when it is an adult.

Hi, I always wanted a coastal carpet python. I told my friend that and he ended up making this huge 12 by 5 by 3 enclosure. I wanted to raise the snake but I don't want to buy another enclosure. What is the smallest possible snake I can put in that beast of a cage, ( I still want to raise it from a young age ) and where would I be able to purchase it? Thanks a ton.

His is my last try I've asked about many enclosures and if this one doesn't work then I'll give her to my local pet stores

I found a spot in my basement that's 11 L by 5.5h by 4 or 5 depth will that work for my coastal carpet pyhton

I am inheriting a 10 ft carpet python, she is still growing. I have made previous posts about enclosure's that work for me but none of them work for the snake. I would like to know the right dimensions for this type of snake and if I can't fit it, then I'll give the snake too ok someone who is better suited to take care of it

I'm inheriting a female coastal carpet. I'm wondering if 5 height by 7 length by 3 or 4 width would be enouph

The edge of my room is slanted so my cage would be triangular The to edges of the triangle are 3 by 3 feet connected by a right angle. The length can be anywhere from five to ten feet. It would be a triangular prism. Can make bigger, do I have to?

Idk how many people saw my post about my carpet python Pikachu losing nearly half his body weight and refusing to eat for over a year. I had posted a few times asking for help and nothing was working. Tried every trick out there to get him to eat, even tube feeding some watered down egg yolks, but it would come right back out and put him at risk for aspirating. My vet had been helping me through the entire ordeal but at a certain point she said it would be best to get an MRI or CT. Unfortunately I do not have that kind of money. So after tons and tons of research, I learned that the feeding tube I had was too short. I got a new one, and I got carnivore care.

I’ve been feeding him a watered down mix of carnivore care through a feeding tube for just under a month now. He has been getting 40-50 ml every day (with a couple missed days for reason or another). I’m happy to say that not only is he more active, his bright colors are coming back, but he also gained an ENTIRE POUND in body weight!!! Our journey is not over yet as he needs a little under a pound to be back up to weight and he’s still repulsed by any type of food I offer him. But the good news is, he’s finally gaining weight! We are trying to focus on that right now before worrying about how to get him back on rodents. Thank you guys for any help or suggestions you sent my way, it meant the world to me and eventually lead me down the path we are on now that is saving my boys life.

(Photo of him being held by my partner for the first time after getting the weigh in.) You can see in the photo how bright his colors are now, how active he’s getting, and how his body is starting to fill out again. You guys have no idea how excited I was to see that he gained a full pound. Thank you again to those who helped.

I'm planning on building a 6L x 3H x 1.6D enclosure for my girl. She is almost 1 year old and is almost 3 feet long. With that in mind, I know that her current size is no indication of how big she'll be fully grown, but is there any way to know how big she might be? TIA

Some years ago I took my snake to the vet with a few health concerns. One of them being a small 3mm raised bump beneath darkened scales. At the time the vet concluded that this wasn’t too concerning but to keep an eye out and to come back if I saw rapid or sudden growth.

From then to now the bump has grown very slowly, but I noticed that the bump sometimes got in the way of his exploration around my living room but didn’t bother him at all in any other way. Not only that I could now feel new raised scales in other spots along his body. So I worried that it had gone from being a tumour to being cancer.

I had the lump removed by a vet and examined by a lab, and the results came back as a tumour/cancer called melanophoroma. Unfortunately, there’s not much in terms of treatment available other than to remove it before it spreads, though if anyone else does know about treatment do let me know.

So I hope this post convinces you to seek out that vet earlier than I did, and that the pics help more people recognise what to look for.

He’s a carpet python (Morelia Spilota ssp) estimated to be around 3m from the year 2011 and a jaguar morph. (This morph comes with neurological issues also similar/the same as the wobble in spider ball pythons. I do not encourage anyone to buy/breed this morph.)

2020. Darkened scales with a small white lump underneath. Felt it, before I spotted it.

2024. The lump to be removed & tested.

I have a 6x3x6 enclosure that I am finishing up. It was prebuilt needing quite a bit of work when I got it so the light holes were already there and I’m trying to work with them before deciding to redo the entire top of the enclosure… There are two light holes (so there’s an option for what side is hot or cool) but I just need one light cage. The holes are approximately 10 1/2 inches in diameter. I am planning on using two mini halogen bulbs for heat but I can not find a light cage big enough to fit that hole. I want one that can open from the bottom for easy bulb changes as that’s sorts the entire reason I want the cages vs just getting metal screen for the top and having the lights sit on that. I’m willing diy it too but have no idea how to do that rn. Any ideas would be helpful! Thanks.

He's at work every night waiting for something to pass by.
