New Carpets

[james.w]

I got my 3 carpets today so decided to put up some pics.

Baylin line Tiger Jaguar

Red Coastal Jaguar

Red Coastal Jaguar sibling

Here are their cages

All of the pics except the 2nd one are from the breeder, I couldn't get any good pics of the others, and they are both in shed. Not pictured either is my Irian Jaya Jaguar from Susan Hardy. She is too squirmy and nippy to get pics of just yet.

Cool patterns, I really like the first one. How old are they?

Was waiting from some carpet pics from you. Absolutely beautiful, i definitely have to get a jag into my project. Tiger jags are epic.

Your cage's look good, i want something like that for mines. But i'll wait.

The 3 pictured are all June 2010 babies and my IJ Jag is a May 2011.

Strange_Evil... what are you gonna wait for?

They are absolutely gorgeous. Congratulations on your new additions. I wish you many years of slithery happiness.

So pretty! The red jag is awesome for sure, I dont think I've ever seen one quite that color. They're all going to be real lookers!

I got him for $350, they can be anywhere from $250+. The cages are Neodeshas, they don't make this size anymore. Website is NPIcages.com I think.

Very nice! My husband is starting to take interest in carpets, but we don't know where to start.

What do you want to do with them, breed or just keep as pets?

Pets first, breed later =0)

 

[james.w]

if breeding isn't really a concern, it comes down to which one you think looks the best. They are very addicting though.

We'll have to go through some photos and figure that one out. Knowing my husband, he'll want the most expensive one.
Like with the leachie, ....he came across a picture of one and HAD to have it. Come to find out, its the largest and most rare gecko in the world... which= pricey.
He wanted a monitor type lizard.... found a tegu... and here we are.

I was wondering how you got your hands on cage's like that. I searched and the best size i could find for younger carpets was in the link you listed, the
NPI 12 inch Standard Reptile Cage with 3"x6" Vent on top and clear acrylic window. Just so small!

I'm hoping to run into some at the white plains expo on sunday.

 

[james.w]

I came across them on kingsnake and it was a local guy. I wouldn't spend a bunch of money on grow-up cages, just use tubs if you don't want to buy adult cages to raise them up in. I will eventually getting 47x23x15s from Repti-Racks.

 

[Strange_Evil]

Yeah i like the tubs i use them for all my snakes, but i do want at least one good display cage is all. I'll wait then, until i can put him in a nice large display cage.

herpcages.com makes an inexpensive cage for small arboreals.
