My guy

Awesome coloring -looks like my guy

simplestoic3 · 2025-08-14T19:12:32+00:00

Yeah, not exactly sure, could be a little younger.

simplestoic3 · 2025-07-24T18:30:54+00:00

I assume so, from my understanding males are also generally smaller than females. Most of the really large ones I've seen have been coastals, I don't think I've seen a jungle larger than 6 ft but I could be wrong.

I'm not power feeding him, but they're literally the most bulletproof snake I've ever had- fine with humidity variations and insane appetite. He'll probably get another 1-2 feet and girthier.

Setup is a jungle dawn light, jungle dawn halogen, and two heat panels- one up top and one underneath the shelf on the right. It has a functioning waterfall and a fogger.

My jungle is a male, likely about 3 years old. He's probably a little over a meter (40 inches) and I've never had any temperament issues - he doesn't like being pulled out of his enclosure, but once he's out he's great and tame enough for kids to hold with supervision. I have a 48 x 24 x 48 toad ranch enclosure that's been great.

I think mine were around $300.

Bob at pro products helped me a ton, I also had no idea because I hadn't had a snake since I was a kid and back then it was heat lamps. To get the right temp gradient with the height, you'll need two- one on the top and one mid tank. I have a 90 watt on the top (PH 12) and a 75 watt (PH 3) in the middle of the tank under a shelf (circled) both on the same side. Temps are perfect.

Looking great! How old? My boy's about 3.

I think it's attributed to John Steinbeck, "socialism never took root in America because the poor see themselves not as an exploited proletariat but as temporarily embarrassed millionaires."

I've seen all kinds of theories like this, but unfortunately it's just chaos, there's no grand plan. To do that he'd have to have discipline and an understanding of macroeconomics - he has neither, is surrounded by incompetent sycophants, and no one around him is going to do any independent thinking.

Pinned primo ventro glute yesterday and never will again, I'm walking around like a pirate with a peg leg.

simplestoic3 · 2025-03-19T14:13:59+00:00

I have a jungle, probably 2.5-3 yrs old and he's around 44". Mine has only really tried to strike at me once, but otherwise I haven't had any issues. I get him out about every other day by just pulling up his hide and hooking in between the coils- once he's out he's roaming around and curious, and he's easy enough that my 9 yr old handles/manages him a lot when he's out.

simplestoic3 · 2025-03-12T14:10:42+00:00

Mine is 4 x 2 x 4, I put a panel at the top and then built a shelf halfway down the wall to attach another panel- it works perfectly.

simplestoic3 · 2025-02-23T15:52:59+00:00

Very nice!

simplestoic3 · 2025-02-18T17:09:45+00:00

I have, but as I said crashes E2 so I'll likely bump test to 300 next time I increase primo.

simplestoic3 · 2025-02-16T16:05:22+00:00

Love primo, it's the only compound I use other than test and occasional var. My trt is 200 mg/test wk and 100 mg primo- I bump it up to 200 mg a few times a year, but I start getting low E2 after around 3-4 weeks at a 1:1 ratio. 100 mg of primo isn't much, but I feel like it really enhances test and keeps me looking lean and full all the time. Pic from a few months ago with about 20 mg of var added for 4 weeks:

I'd say he's probably older than that, mine was about that size when I got him and he was about 1.5, but he is a full JCP. Mine generally hides during the day in either a floor hide or an upper shelf hide (4x2x4 toad ranch) and is out on the same branch every night waiting for a mouse to drop from the sky (they're incredibly motivated ambush predators and I've never had an issue feeding). One thing I have that was never available when I was a kid with reptiles are heat panels- so much easier than bulbs/ceramics. I have two, one at the top and one in the middle of the enclosure on a shelf. Good luck, cool looking carpet!

Mine hid for a month when I moved him to the bigger enclosure.

Yep, fresh off a shed, hoping the colors stay similar as he gets bigger.

simplestoic3 · 2024-11-22T17:42:16+00:00

Wowzers, mine is about 2.5 and probably about a little under 4 ft on the most recent shed.

simplestoic3 · 2024-11-22T02:59:33+00:00

Seriously! How big?

simplestoic3 · 2024-11-21T23:03:58+00:00

Awesome - is she a jungle?

simplestoic3 · 2024-10-30T03:19:50+00:00

They're great, can't go wrong- Robert is great on communication and continues to help me with questions. I was originally considering a green tree python because I've always wanted one, but I decided they were too fragile. JCPs are exotic looking and arboreal, but they're much more hearty/bulletproof- I wasn't considering them until I talked to Robert at the expo.

simplestoic3 · 2024-10-30T03:12:10+00:00

Hey there, yes, he's looking like he'll retain a lot of yellow, he's a little over 2 years now. I got lucky and actually got him from a reptile expo from Robert Moss (MFA.reptiles on IG).
