I'm an Aussie keeper myself and it's great to see some Aussie pythons featured on this channel! I have Carpet Pythons (Diamond, Jungle, and Coastal), Woma Pythons, and Black Headed Pythons.
I've been thinking about portholes in cages for breeding for years, and it's awesome to see it executed so well! Absolutely love those big scrubs too, I can't get over those huge head scales - gorgeous! Very cool to see both tame and spicy versions haha, Brandon is doing amazing work!
@@davidfitch40 No luck,, The male up top "Slim" just shed last night so I opened everything up for him today, hopefully he heads out on a mission later and enters one of there set ups. As soon as I get some action I'll put up an update. Right now we are out of what would be considered "the breeding season" so right now I'm just testing the waters.
@@moreliahouse3085 Might be worth having one of the males in a holding tub in the females cage overnight see if it causes a reaction. I'd just be worried if they did react to each other and spend the night striking the tub.
Soo much innovation in the setups for his snakes that could literally be applied in so many areas of the reptile hobby. Just awesome and truly inspiring.
The smile on his face as he watched the defensive Gypsy as he was holding her was so cool to see. He really loves his snakes!! She’s really impressive. I love the portholes from cage to cage. What a great idea! 🐍❤️🐍
My issue with Royals is that they are just so over bred. It has gotten as bad as pit bulls with back yard breeders producing babies that just end up being left to die, abandoned in buildings, on the side of roads, thrown out in a box in the middle of winter. It is terrible. Royals should live 40+ years a peace. Breeders swap out breeding stock every 7-10 years because they are refining features.... think about how many animals that is going to turn into if we keep breeding them like this. But the part that gets me the most is, we should already be drowning in them, which means the majority are being killed :( I just get sad when I see BP videos.
Hey Dav let’s see more Morelia python content! This episode was great, we are all looking forward to more Rough Scale, Carpet, Bredl‘s and Green Tree Python videos.
I have carpets and Stimson’s currently and they’re honestly becoming some of my favorites. I am dying for a zebra morph lol, this was an awesome video! 😍
Great vid not that many out there! Gorgeous. Got my first Jungle gal last feb year old. Regular Jungle carpet but parents where a zebra and a regular. Mine is a absolute sweet heart. Great collection cant wait to see more. Rattle on and dont forget to tonk that Cow Bell!!! :-)
Such an amazing collection! I feel blessed to have seen it in person, and sure do miss hanging with Brandon. Such a great guy! Thanks for a great video, Dāv!
They are all super breathtaking, but my favorite was Data he is going to be other worldly amazing when he gets to size😍, Gypsy was gorgeous I dare anyone to give him grief for gloves , like the old saying goes an ounce of preventative is worth a pound of cure. He seems really passionate about his animals what a joy to see. Thank you ever so much for sharing and best wishes always.☺️
I already have heterodon nasicus and pituophis catenifer sayi but morelia spilota is for sure the next snake I'm getting! Beautiful animals! Great videos as always!
I don't do carpets ( for now😅), but his collection is really great. I really appreciate the pure locality breeding. Great find Dav! Any "are we keeping them correctly" perfection in the making?
Hi Dav great to c some locale Aussie carpet pythons in US collections. A good friend of mine hear in Australia bred the Aussie scrubs 9 years in succession many years ago cheers from down under everyone 🦘🦘🦎
I have a captive bred male barneck scrub that looks like the Sorong in this video, beautiful snake but absolutely vicious. I love him as well but I keep African cobras too. He's about seven foot now and has a four foot strike range. Much different than retics. He can raise himself up vertically three and half foot high. Still my only regret is that he isn't bigger. He's about five years old.
I've never been this early The last expo I went too had A TON of carpet python's so they might not be so underrated? I am loving his enclosures for his breeders though. It's nice to see a breeder provide enrichment.
Think alot of people avoid the carpets especially tbe morphs due to the larger clutch sizes which drops prices to quick and unless they are are your passion line breeding takes to long for people looking to make money.. I may just be being cynical.
@@darcieclements4880 I always forget about the restrictions over there. Not half as many restrictions in the UK yet unless you want to go down the venomous route.
@@davidfitch40 you have a point here in australia some people just kill babies that dont look good give them away for free or feed them to other animals
Awesome video and collection. Closed toe shoes are probably a good idea when working with big scrubs too. I have a decent sized southern which loves trying to bite my feet when given the opportunity lol.
Go to rouge reptiles or EB morelia . Matter of fact go to EB. And make him give you a tour. Lol. Would love to see his collection! Great vid Dav`. Way to spread the Herps!....🤘👌
I am happy Scrub Python's are getting some limelight now, I saw one for sale for $700 as a Reptile show back in May, which was the first time I saw one not in a zoo, which is exciting(also a baby so, high likelyhood it was a captive bred!)
They're beautiful species of pythons! Not too small, Not too big and can really set up killer enclosures for them! Really fun species to keep & work with
I'm not sure I would call 4 meters "not too big", but I have only handled the really big ones (wild caught, part of a zoo's collection, decades old). These ones look so tiny next to those, lol. It wasn't until this video that I even realised there are animals that stay smaller. I wonder how predictable the size variation is. I always assumed smaller animals were just younger, but your post made me look them up and I see they are actually usually a lot smaller than the 3 I worked with. Thanks for that
Reptile Basics sells Sky Hides with ceiling brackets. It's an extra large standard black hide identical to what this fellow is using. They are commercially available and very reasonably priced. Ball python love them.
Awesome collection....I don't have carpets yet.,.. only one I have is my living room one lmfao 😂😂...I have ball pythons , retic, hognose,crested geckos,beardie,pacman frog 🐸🐸
Those are so tame for zebras I just hatched out three of them and they are f****** assholes but you're right beautiful none the less. About time you did a morelia collection..
I see that you have both carpet pythons and blood pythons . I know that bloods get thicker but which normally grows larger Coastal Carpet pythons or blood pythons? Next between the two which will require larger prey as full adilt saying if both carpets and blood femaleS? Also will like to know which will grow faster if you get both babies grow as adults same time ?
Brandon Cary you sold a snake to me two years ago when we spoke so to speak just saw your Dave Kauffman video you should see me withe 15 foot bar neck, by myself lol, you set up and animals are insane very intelligent approach we will be doing business I knew it three years ago when we spoke,you drove the nail in the bro hooked a,1 in un u.s.. in my opinion
Great interview on some Aussie snakes. Carpets don’t have locality or specific colours for specific areas. Brisbane we get grey, red, brown such an diverse amount of colours. In the 60-70s farmers actually moved these pythons all over the country to help rodent populations in the farms.
Hey dav, if you’re ever in the Ohio area you should come check us out at scales and tails of Ohio (Satoo for short lol) we have tons of cool species ranging from bearded dragons all the way to rare obscure European colubrids/mangrove snakes/monitors/burms/retics. Tons of stuff. We have a giant new shop opening august 31st in addition to our two already open shops!
@@davkaufmansreptileadventures Cleveland area! We are very easily found on google. My boss was on animal planet for a couple years and does a lot of conservation research so we have some very unique stuff because of his reputability and connections. Would love to meet you!
Some beautiful Morelia there in the states, plan on getting a Scrubby myself, will be interesting to see what temperament it has, l think l will pick the hatchling myself, the calmest of the bunch l see LOL
Yep, that was me. A lot has changed since then. I've definitely evolved as a keeper. If I could go back and kick myself in the teeth I would definitely do it.
@@FusionExotics I've had just about everything over the years. Back then I had a Nile and a Yellow monitor. I miss that Nile, she passed away when she was about 7.

Today, the truck in front of me went on the wrong side of the road and even off the road a foot, just to run over and kill a snake crossing the road. It makes me so upset.

She is still quite well behaved, of course his calm and experience with her show it.
Thanks Brandon for the idea of an upside-down hiding box. I'm using it too with my carpets now. just brilliant.

"do you just [screw it up] there?"
"It's just brackets- [screwed up] creatively"
Carpets are definitely one of my favourite species of snake. There's just too many wonderful snakes and not enough money in my pockets
I love carpets, it was great to see such amazing snakes. The tunnel idea is brilliant!
I adore scrub pythons and they are my favorite snake species on planet earth hands down.
Omg finally a video not about ball pythons!!!!! I could watch Morelia videos every single day!
I'm with you, so over balls!

Do it!
Amazing reptile room, amazing snakes. I could easily spend a week in there!

Should have been called the cheetah morph. So incredibly beautiful.
This the dude from Morelia podcast?
I live in Australia and my only snake is a diamond python and she has never even thought about biting me once
How big do carpet pythons get in general
6ft average
Are any of the genes behind these, lethal? Are there neonates you shouldn't buy because they may have issues down the road in their lives?
All of them have beautiful pattèns
personally i feel that the best carpet is a murray darling carpet and the best morelia overall is the rough scaled.
You know its going to be intense when a snake keeper preemptively shields their face when taking a snake out.
this dude looks and sounds very familiar. Did he have a youtube channel way back in the early 2000?
