Thanks for posting that Auld - I don't have FB either lol! Wow, it does look a little on the chubby side - even for someone who doesn't know much about carpets, I know they aren't supposed to look like royals lol!
Do they need ceramics as adults? I assume they are too big to get away with heat mats? |

Not overly difficult, ambient temps of about 26ish with a hot end of
31-33 ish.
Mines in a rub just now but as adult 3-4 ft x 2ft viv should suffice. |

I don't think he'll mind me re-posting the photo here as I asked him to post it originally.

The story behind it was that it had a hold of him around one arm and he had a hold of it by the head as it was intent on eating him. Needed an extra pair of hands to dis-entangle the tail end. Considering that this is 8 times the weight of Vambo, I would have had a real good grip on its head too. 
Cheers Auld.
Man that's one chunky jungle  I know of somebody else who has a jungle female who is over 8' but she doesn't look as chunky as this one, I'll try and find out how much his weighs
Edit; his was 14lb (6.35kg) when she was 8' 4" and she is now 8' 11" |

Rescued from someone who didn't have a clue.

Most carpets are nippy, as youngsters in general though they will calm down with handlng.
Until they try to kill you by making you fall down the stairs...  |

Wow he is gorgeous. Way out of my league of being able to care for, but so handsome to look at (from quite afar I think!) |

Nailgun, Ha-ha-ha! An excellent name choice. 
Welcome to the Carpet Clan. Is this one of Lorna's?
It will make a nice change to see the photos of someone else with mangled digits. |
