hi everybody i’m new to this website, and this is my Jungle carpet python, his name is Vito

I purchased him in august from a cheap pet store (big mistake)

he wasn’t handled or fed very often there, so i sort of consider him a rescue

in the past week he has been treated for mites and i am currently boosting the heat in his enclosure due to respiratory problems

he seems to be recovering quite well, but any input would be appreciated. thanks!

hello im scott and might i say that is a nice looking jungle carpet, i have a diamondX jungle and he is currently in a 20 right now. i like the set up that you have for him, is that a long 55? i just added some artifical grass from wally world ni my carpets cage, he is in the process of shedding now.i have had mine for al most 8 months now and im guessing he is about a year old now.

wow. he seems so small for being almost a year. i want mine to grow faster. my tank is a 55 long, i figure he’ll be fine in there for awhile. he almost never touches the ground, it almost makes me angry

hell be fine in there for a long time to come.when i get the chance to move mine im moving mine to a 75 and spoiling him rotten. when he is streched out he is about 1 1/2ft or so, he was small when i got him thou so he has grown alot since then.


this was on valentines day 09




and this was about a month or two ago



so if you can see the difference he has gotten bigger, when he sheds ill get pics up then, hopefully he sheds soon.

i’m sure you would be surprised at what your carpet can eat. before i started feeding hoppers my snake was eating full size adult mice, but it seemed to big which i why i’m using hoppers.

theres some videos on youtube of carpets eating possums, wallaby, and there is even a video of one eating a small kangaroo.yea wtf
