Olympus Reptiles you also said the jaguar gene is not 'native' to carpet pythons', not sure what you meant by that, but it IS a direct carpet python morph. It is not from cross breeding or hybridizing, it is a pure carpet python gene mutation.
Rick M I didn't say that. I said it is not native to jungle carpet. it is to coastal carpet (separate species of carpet python). therefore, to get a jungle jag you have to cross coastal with jungle at some point.
Holy Shit!! That is the most beautiful Jungle Jag ive ever seen in my entire life. I wish i could see that beauty in real life. I know the camera just doesnt do it justice. I love seeing you interact with your animals like this. Theres definitely no doubts in my mind that you deeply love and care for your animals. They arent just assests of your business as some have said before. They are so much more then that and we very much appreciate you taking the time to share with us such amazing animals. You are very kind and caring animal lover. I wish i could have a collection like yours some day. You are doing amazing things for the reptile hobby my friend and im proud to be a part of the Olympus family on UA-cam. You guys rock! Keep up the amazing work my friendm
I marvel at the beauty of your snake. I am particularly taken by its vibrant colours and the equally attractive pattern. Congratulations on having bred and raised such a wonderful creature.
ChillMp5 Get into a habit of removing the snake with a snake hook and then handling it gently without restraining it. That way the snake will learn to trust you and won’t feel threatened. Also, tapping the snake gently with the snake hook when you first open the cage before removing it will condition it to understand that you are not feeding it at that moment. Sometimes snakes that are fed in their enclosures learn to associate you entering the enclosure with feeding, and that stimulates their feeding response. Carpet python’s can be a bit nippy, particularly when they are juveniles, but most will tame down with proper handling as they grow larger and more confident.
To be honest I kind of like hissy/puffy snakes. Makes me feel like more of a badass when I pick them up haha although no one is a fan of being bit x3 Great jungle jag! Have you seen the super zebras? They are absolutely stunning!
not sure I have seen super zebras in person. I do love this jag! I think carpets could be a big thing in tbe market, but morphs are too slow to come out as wild snakes can't be exported.
+Olympus Reptiles The super Jags are completely patternless and an olive kind of color! Its pretty sweet although I doubt any are in the U.S. I only saw it in Australia. Guess we will have to wait a few years for the morphs to trickle there way over from Australia x3
+Felicity Strain very cool. super jags are lecustic, but they don't survive. all have died in development, or shortly after hatching. I will have to check out the super zebras!
+Olympus Reptiles I didn't know that about the super Jags :/ kinda sounds the the super motleys of the boa world heh most of them die within a year and have malformed skulls and spines but that is a shame... no one likes dead animals but please do! I think you might like them!
That's okay, I understand I'm glad you are taking care of him/her like I said they are beautiful creatures and deserves to be respected wich you are doing
Matt this snake inspired me and finally got a baby girl 17" now Jungle Carpet python!! Have mentioned before lol. Nice very separate black and yellow. Black has a hint of green. Do some more on them. Did you get a bigger Vivarium for him? Dude Build a Vivarium with running water! Be cool to see. Thanks for everything. Paul. Minnesnowta
The coastal carpets run along the east coast. Jungles are at the very top of the east coast. South western carpet is self explanatory. Top end carpet is from the northern coastlines. Then centralian which are from the centre of oz, near Uluru and Alice springs. There are localities like Murray/darling carpets, and the diamond python which is not actually a carpet python they have found out. Similar though. They have amazing versatility in colours and are extremely smart animals. We used to have 5 to 6 sometimes 8 meter carpets all round our house growing up. They would climb down and move really slowly almost to say hello haha. Best pythons I can think of. Nothing compares to a carpet. Much prefer them over short stubby snakes
Absolutely gorgeous snake. I'm currently researching these guys, I've got several ball pythons and a couple boas. I'm thinking about getting a carpet Python. Great video.
peter whitehouse I really like them! morphs don't come out as quickly, as the export restrictions from Australia. however, what has come out is absolutely stunning! they are a big snake without being huge.

Olympus Reptiles what are their temperaments like in general? Would you say they're generally pretty friendly,Or nippy when younger, ? I know you can't classify the entire breed, but for the most part what are they like?
my brother got one, and I LOVE snakes, but it is his friends and he brought it over a little while ago, and "share". it. does it has an increased chance to bite if they do not know you since I met it yesterday? his friend had it since 2013, so it is pretty tame, I just don't want to get biten since it's the first snake I've handled. (it is a carpet python, much like this one)
I know this is an older video but I have a jungle jag he's 1yr old and is still quite nippy and not so good with other people when I'm holding him. How long does I take for jungle to be as friendly as this one, I also handle him quite a lot
Just a correction, the Jaguar trait IS natural. It's a co-dominant morph of the coastal carpet Python. Obviously this was then mixed with other carpet python types to make Jungle jags and Irian jaya jags etc. Many of these mixes are now mislabeled sadly which causes much confusion. Carpet Pythons are simply amazing in every way, whichever type you go for, and there are so many colours and patterns to choose from. The good old regular coastal Jag being my favourite. Bredl's (Centralian Pythons) Are also related and are just beautiful.
actually we keep one in class and another in an old style neodeshea cage. with carpets liking some vertical space, haven't found a rack with enough room yet.
There native to Australia mate, you take care of that snake they are beautiful creatures, they love to climb so you should get a tall enclosure it's got to be big
Melissa Head I know, simply a slip of the tongue, corrected later in video. get used to saying Africa from ball pythons. he is still doing great, and looks just as good!
Hello great video. I've just got two carpet pythons I'm new to snakes. I feel pretty confident with them but I was just wondering about when and if they bite, do they tend to hold on or is it quick?
thanks for the kind words, plan on doing an update on this snake soon (we did this video early on, and want to do a better one etc). holding on depends on the type of bite. most bites from young carpets will be defensive, and they will strike and release. if it is a feed error, then snakes tend to hold on.
Okay thank you they are a couple of years old Ive got to try and feed them now wish me luck. I've just liked your Facebook page and I will be subscribing I think I might be needing the tips.
I just got one of these today. Any good tips I should know? I think I know most things about it, it's just always good to know everything you can about your snakes.=]
I am new to snakes, and have a royal python. I'm scared when he hisses at me when he is in shed...how do i deal with the fear of snakes hissing and biting me? This snake is very hissy as you said, but you're so chilled! It's like an innate fear I have, I have to back away and can't pick him up if he hisses >.< (He's only done it twice thank goodness!)
I have an adult jungle female carpet, when I bought her they told me she's very tamed and she is I had for about a month or 2 but she hisses but doesn't bite is it normal for her to be hissing like that? I'm just confused because she hisses and doesn't hiss sometimes even though she's tame.
I saw a Carpet Python at Petsmart today. I really wanted to buy it. But person that worked there really didn't know a lot about it. The question is should get one through Petsmart or a breeder?
It sucks, you guys are aloud to have our carpet pythons and bearded lizards but we ain't aloud to have a ball python or alligator :( just disappointed in that, take great care of that python it's a beautiful snake and needs to be respected, you need to get a big tall cage and need lots of sticks they love to climb
we did breed him, but unfortunately the female went egg bound and we lost her. it was devastating. we will breed him again, but looking for a good female now.
+thompsoon3 I know, just a slip of the brain lol. If you watch full video I correct myself, and also addressed that in a comment I made on the video. I say Africa do often with ball pythons, Africa just came out.
This video is an old one, should check out our updates of him. Much better lol. The reason I make that comparison is most people are familiar with ball pythons, so the difference between carpets and balls is what a lot of people want to know when deciding weather or not to keep one. A way to compare to what is familiar.
lol, just a slip of the tounge I am well aware. it is corrected in the video. also in the comments I correct it. after working so many ball pythons Africa just comes out lol.
as a note....I know I say "Africa" was a slip and is corrected later in video. obviously, they are from Australia. sorry mates!
haha i got scared there for a second haha thank you for verifying they are Australian .. cheers mate!

I wish I could take credit for breeding him, but he was a purchase
I have a Carpondro that reminds me of this guy, as far as temperament goes. But, this guy is even more vivid. He is amazingly gorgeous!!
jungle jags are hard to beat!!
Very nice carpet python. I love the colors and the high yellow. You and boxing boa is gonna get me to pick up 1 someday lol. thanks for sharing;)
carpets are a lot of fun
Just looking over some of your older videos. I didn't know you had Carpets. This one is even more vibrant than my Carpondro!
My carpet python is currently 6 foot and I usually get nervous of getting him out. but watching you take him out makes me more confedient thanks mate.

Carpets are very talkative. My big girl will hiss as she moving around just exploring
Hello Matt. Your jungle jag carpet python is amazing.
I do like you're videos keep up the good work your jungle jag is exotic even over here they can we worth a bit
Stunning!!!
That's okay, I understand I'm glad you are taking care of him/her like I said they are beautiful creatures and deserves to be respected wich you are doing
Super cool!

peter whitehouse nippy when young, calming at about a year old.
Olympus Reptiles oh okay cool. That's kinda how my brb was too.
So beautiful
You got a great looking carpet right there.
thanks man! he was a psycho as a baby, but is really chill now.
stunning
thanks! we have s video of his girlfriend coming soon.
thanks! we have s video of his girlfriend coming soon.
The movement of these snakes is similar to the Boa. Be still damnit! Flighty and hissy until you get hold of them then they're all yours. lol
Awesome animal
Can I ask how old is he? My Jungle Jag is a year and a half and not nearly half the size of yours? Also do the females grow larger than the males?
females will be bigger. he is about 2.5 to 3 years old.
+Olympus Reptiles interesting. So my girl is on pace. She is about 3 1/2 feet long
How can I get a jungle jag carpet python def gotta have one so awesome unbelievable
my brother got one, and I LOVE snakes, but it is his friends and he brought it over a little while ago, and "share". it. does it has an increased chance to bite if they do not know you since I met it yesterday? his friend had it since 2013, so it is pretty tame, I just don't want to get biten since it's the first snake I've handled. (it is a carpet python, much like this one)
Arya Blood-Heart I don't think the knowing part will make a huge difference. just be easy, and if it does bite it isn't the end of the world
I know this is an older video but I have a jungle jag he's 1yr old and is still quite nippy and not so good with other people when I'm holding him. How long does I take for jungle to be as friendly as this one, I also handle him quite a lot
He's beautiful
TarantulamanNC thanks! look for the updates we have done on him.

Jag is natural, jungle jag is crossed. This is a jungle jag
Gorgeous
I just recently got a little jungle jag female she was nippy the first day or two now shes fine and beautiful
Beautifull
I was holding my carpet python and watching she Is very nice I love never hissed bite I love her like a pups
Vanessa Reascos that's awesome. mine was crazy as a baby, but a sweetheart as an adult.
Question: Have you had trouble converting baby carpets onto rats after several mouse feedings? If so, how'd you get them going? Thanks
my carpets have never been picky. toss it in and they eat it.
Olympus Reptiles He shy's away when I offer it to him.
rub or toss rat with frozen mice so scent gets rubbed off... after one or two times snake will transition
Young Ranger I'll do that once he gets a little bigger. I appreciate the response... and awesome collection my friend!
How old is he?
Can't even see it's eyes XD
Hey mate. Are you keeping your carpets in a rack? If so what size tubs you using?
Cheers
actually we keep one in class and another in an old style neodeshea cage. with carpets liking some vertical space, haven't found a rack with enough room yet.
Is he on jumbo rats yet or small rabbits ? And he's bout 6ft I hear they grow 8-9 for females I really want one this summer .
I just do rats
There native to Australia mate, you take care of that snake they are beautiful creatures, they love to climb so you should get a tall enclosure it's got to be big
Melissa Head I know, simply a slip of the tongue, corrected later in video. get used to saying Africa from ball pythons. he is still doing great, and looks just as good!
Good video but you keep them in tiny drawers!!!!! 😟

+Amy Lee sounds good! we are always here to help. carpets are awesome.
I just got one of these today. Any good tips I should know? I think I know most things about it, it's just always good to know everything you can about your snakes.=]
they like places to climb, usually great eaters! j keep temps about the same as a ball
Beautiful carpet. How old is he?
puckfook about 3 I think I this video.
Killer jag! Who was the breeder?
Chris Behof I honestly have no idea
Olympus Reptiles
Where did u get it?
I am new to snakes, and have a royal python. I'm scared when he hisses at me when he is in shed...how do i deal with the fear of snakes hissing and biting me? This snake is very hissy as you said, but you're so chilled! It's like an innate fear I have, I have to back away and can't pick him up if he hisses >.< (He's only done it twice thank goodness!)
Melissa Brown it just takes getting used too.
Just practice good handling habits. Once you both become more accustomed to each other, it will be a much more relaxing experience.
Hi is this a good second snake I've got a ball python and I've had him for a while now I love snakes and was wondering if this was a good one
Brian Denny I think it can be, yes. definitely more spunky personality, but really fun snakes!
Olympus Reptiles thanks
I have an adult jungle female carpet, when I bought her they told me she's very tamed and she is I had for about a month or 2 but she hisses but doesn't bite is it normal for her to be hissing like that? I'm just confused because she hisses and doesn't hiss sometimes even though she's tame.
carpets tend to hiss a lot, especially when being handled. so no worries!
I saw a Carpet Python at Petsmart today. I really wanted to buy it. But person that worked there really didn't know a lot about it. The question is should get one through Petsmart or a breeder?
nathaniel willis jr breeder never buy from petsmart
Thanks for the advice!!
It sucks, you guys are aloud to have our carpet pythons and bearded lizards but we ain't aloud to have a ball python or alligator :( just disappointed in that, take great care of that python it's a beautiful snake and needs to be respected, you need to get a big tall cage and need lots of sticks they love to climb
Melissa Head it is local Australia laws that prevent that. we can't export anything from there either, so very hard to get new morphs of carpet.
trying to get ahold of one of these because I really love the patterns. do you breed with this guy? if so when is the next clutch and how much?
we did breed him, but unfortunately the female went egg bound and we lost her. it was devastating. we will breed him again, but looking for a good female now.
+Olympus Reptiles sorry to hear that, if you don't mind me asking where are you located? looking to buy some new critters soon for my shows
+Thomas Jefferson I am located in Manhattan Kansas
+Olympus Reptiles do you ship?
+Thomas Jefferson we are just starting too
How big will he get?
about 180 to 200 cm
Do you still have this snake? If so, how much you want?
I do. Not selling
Ok. I understand that! That snake is beautiful!. Do you have any babies from this snake for sale or will in the future?
macee says "I likes your videos they're cool cuz they're snakes" and hi map!
lol, now I know who this is! glad she is enjoying them!!
amazing snake :)
thanks so much! will do an update of him next shed. he is still awesome.
Were can I find that kind of python
morph market or local shows. Specialty reptile shops as well.
Is that a jaguar morph?
Yes
Is that a Bredli Jag?
Alex Hopes jungle jag
Olympus Reptiles Nice - I’m getting a Bredli Jag on Friday - looks very similar to this one, though I think not as big yet.
Is that as big as he will get?
Iz zy close to it, but always growing a bit
Iz zy Some Carpets get to 10 foot(like coastals) so I don’t think this ones fully grown yet tbh.
nice
thanks a ton! I have mostly ball pythons, but I do love my carpets.
+Olympus Reptiles same here, I'm a ball python kind of guy! check out my vids if you have time.
+Ball Python will have to do that.
BLACK AND GREEEEN????? THATS YELLOW!!!
Yes it is. Balls are black and green, the yellow and green here is awesome!!!!!
@@OlympusReptiles hahaha mad
Do ship to Canada
who produced this guy? Any babies coming soon? Thanks!
I honestly do not know who produced him. he has been locking with my female Rhea, featured in a different video, so hopefully.
+Olympus Reptiles let me know when you get some babies! Have a mailing list? Eric.oglander@gmail.com
+Eric Oglander best way is to follow our Facebook, m.facebook.com/olympusreptiles/
The patterns on this snake is amazing.
Shit mine is 3 years old and soooooo tiny compared to that... Is that due to under feeding?
lots of variety in size. feed one good meal a week, and should do great.
+Elizabeth Harvey Is it a male?
+thompsoon3 yes, this is my male
+Olympus Reptiles Cool and they aren't native to Africa they're from Australia.
+thompsoon3 I know, just a slip of the brain lol. If you watch full video I correct myself, and also addressed that in a comment I made on the video. I say Africa do often with ball pythons, Africa just came out.
Why do you keep comparing them to ball pythons?
This video is an old one, should check out our updates of him. Much better lol. The reason I make that comparison is most people are familiar with ball pythons, so the difference between carpets and balls is what a lot of people want to know when deciding weather or not to keep one. A way to compare to what is familiar.
Olympus Reptiles oh makes sense, thanks.
They're all native to Australia not Africa I'm sure you just made a mistake the beautiful snake
EA clps2revldaath2024 yup, just a slip of the tounge, corrected later in video and in description.
They are from Australia not Africa
lol, just a slip of the tounge I am well aware. it is corrected in the video. also in the comments I correct it. after working so many ball pythons Africa just comes out lol.
So pretty
thank you!
just outta curiosity how much do bp bumble bees and yellow belly bumble bees go for?
bumblebees were 125 to 175 last year. Yellow belly would add some more to that.
Please help me anyone I'm in search of a jungle jag carpet python
Check morph market. Or, join patreon. We will have a few
put on some shoes!
Eric Ward nope. in my own house.
That doesn't look fun.
yellow is nice I love these carpets ! Strong
