I love Luna (JCP DUW!)
Alright, I confess, Luna is the single coolest snake I've ever had the great pleasure of spending time with. She's SO curious about everything, absurdly personable, gentle to a fault, practically unspookable, and a PERFECT little rat-eater. She's just got the best table manners EVER. We use tongs and dangle the rat inside of her cage and she comes over, gingerly takes it off the tongs (doesn't strike at all) and carries it into her hide to finish it off. SO cute!
Unlike our other snakes, she LOVES the bathtub, and will not only voluntarily climb in, but seems to relish a good soak. Doesn't like to soak in her cage, though, just in the bathtub. She's totally picky and spoiled. We've got a vet appointment for her on Monday, just for a routine check-up, because we're used to boas and balls, so we wanna make sure things like body-condition are all good, her scales are the way they're supposed to be, and get a general fecal/blood panel done.
We measured her yesterday, she's exactly 8 feet long, and she weighs 13.5 pounds.
Here she is taking her bath:
Drying off on a beach towel:
Climbing the walls:
Size reference with Joey:
And owning her hide. That is HER hide! Better not mess with it!

She's about ten years old. We were told she was originally purchased as a yearling in 1998 from Bob Mackin at Pets and Things.

Re: I love Luna (JCP DUW!)
She is a beautiful Jungle carpet...she looks soooooooooo relaxed soaking in the tub...
These are great pictures..  .
The size reference was helpful as I had no idea this species could get so big...I am used to seeing lots of small ones in pet stores..

Re: I love Luna (JCP DUW!)
OH MY GOD.
I didn't realize she was that big until I saw her with Joey. I was all, "Pffft those two exaggerate. My female's just exactly that big."
.................. NOPE!
HOLY COWS ON MORPHINE, BATMAN! SHE'S HUGE!

Lol I know exactly what you mean, when we first started talking to the guy who had her before us (trying to convince him to sell her to us) Joey asked how big she was, and he was all "About seven feet!" and we were both like "No she's not, she's like six feet." Then we went to pick her up and we were like "WHOA nevermind!"
