I got a Bredli male that came from Nick and the specimen I got is amazing. I've spoken to Nick a few times on the phone and he always makes time to talk and answer any questions. We're so lucky to have Mr. Nick Mutton with us.

[@Dracobear13]

I keep coming back to watch this over and over.

[@primolilla1304]

Simply the best! I spoke with Nick a few years back by phone. Not only was he extremely friendly, he spent an hour or more talking to me about various species. He’s a total class act! Excellent video. Thank you.

[@angelathompson6716]

“Bred every 2 snakes with a cloaca together” 😂😂😂

[@kennyginn1577]

I can't imagine why, but so far, this has been my favorite Herpiton lecture so far. I so much wanted to attend, but it was that, or Southwest Carpetfest. Next year for sure. Nick mentioned Raymond Hoser, I was intereseted in what he had to say about him. I guess, considering the venue, it might not be appropriate. I want to go with you and Dav.

[@sfstone9403]

this was one of the most informational videos to do with carpet pythons that i have watched nick mutton is probably one of the smartest snake lovers i have seen

[@BallPythonBlvd]

We are so lucky to have him at all our WA and OR shows, his knowledge blows me away. He is an encyclopedia on snakes! Thanks for sharing this presentation.

[@familyjewels9854]

Awesomeness. I've been patiently waiting for this presentation.

[@areareptiles7971]

Phenomenal presentation! A lot of knowledge and wisdom inside that brain.

[@telfordexotics167]

This is so informative and well put together, 3rd time watching this now, simply brilliant!

[@Gottalovecarpetpythons]

This l have to say was an amazing presentation and of course l have to say one of my favorites. Bredl's well my girl is not so sweet in nature and sure has bitten me. Mellowing out now with age but still gives me abit of hard time. l sure do love the wild types more then any of the morphs and mine are all more wild type to look at though l lost my Coastal of 8 years to cancer, who was certainly locale but one gorgeous boy. Amazing pythons and cant have enough of them. Lots of wise information in this talk.

[@jaylenwilliams8114]

I agree much love from the u.s.a

[@herpermike_]

I agree! This presentation was very informative!

[@johnschlesinger2009]

Highly interesting, and great to see the photos of the various habitats.

[@bowser515]

This was great, thanks for posting. Nick is awesome.

[@AlexN-Astro]

I have a wild type jungle python, I live 1400km away from their natural habitat (and used to live in Kuranda a number of years ago) Having seen Jungles in the wild LONG before I started keeping reptiles, I saw all the neon ones, and jags, tigers, zebs etc, and they are cool, but they didn't match what I've seen in the wild... I found a wild type in a breeders collection that hadn't been sold and got it for $200AUD (about $120USD) because nobody wanted her.... I also have a Darwin and a Bredli, (I lived in the northern territory too a long time ago). But just recently I got my first Black Headed Python, This was the first species of snake I ever saw in the wild, and getting my first one to keep, I did the same thing, I found the most natural Northern Territory locale BHP that I could, to match what I'd seen in the wild... Shes only 4 months old now, but she's an absolute peach.... nearly 3ft long at 4 months of age... She's gonna be a big girl!

[@AN2431C]

Great video. As an Australian, I think it's pretty awesome to see an American who is so fond of our native pythons.

[@badcan3031]

Alot of are huge fans of Australian nature. I have a jungle jag carpet myself. She is an amazingly intelligent super chill snake.

[@SpencerReek]

Awesome video. I enjoyed that presentation very much. Thank you for sharing it with us.

[@1softkiss]

Definitely my favorite of all snakes and topics and awesome video Brian !!

[@bentorres2892]

Funny just brought a Darwin from this guy. Just an amazing animal and a pleasure to do business with.

[@jayboyle000]

wow , that was crazy ....thanks so much You can tell that Nick just loves this topic , so much passion.

[@Czermet666]

The twinning sounds awesome! cos I'd love a carpet that wouldn't grow to 6ft or more since half of the Darwins I see on MorphMarket are mixed with Coastals.

[@louv4437]

Great video as always! Got to love carpet pythons

[@Kash6161]

Brilliant... being from Australia.. south of Perth, in an area a stone throw from Lake Clifton, where one of the photos of a M.S Imbricata was taken... its great to see and hear such a great summary of the species of C P I've a M.S Imbricata.. first Python, and what a magnificent species... so placid and even at the age of 25 weeks old now.. she has never bitten or striked since I got her at 5 weeks old.. pure is the way to go.. or else we will lose the original purity of them that we all love and were drawn to, to begin with ... cheers for sharing.. much appreciated 🤘🐍

[@ssserpentarium5968]

Amazing video man!!!! I love Australian snakes. I am always uploading videos of my spotted python and woma python 😁😁

[@ssserpentarium5968]

Why dont you keep any black heads BTW

[@kevincameron6870]

I'm new to the channel Nick and I love it, I'm currently looking for a carpet python and I'm just trying to get the most information on them before I buy one. Great channel my man, thanks for your hard work and thanks for everything you do for us watching, from Canada 🇨🇦 Thanks.

[@retrocket]

an accurate presentation, there's more backyards with carpet pythons in them than dogs in Brisbane, you see them so often you forget how awsome there are, an inquisitive snake unlike brown's or red belly's which are shy but just as common

[@mollielopez7255]

It was about time! Nick Mutton is amazing! And local to the PNW 😉

[@ChromatophoneNature]

Love this! Thank you.

[@jessecrichton2943]

What an awesome video/seminar

[@JBVG1978]

This was awesome!

[@jhbhbhbkjb]

Im an Australian who lives in Brisbane: specifically, the islands off of Brisbane, in the marine conservation and nature park. It's prime coastal python territory- the biodiversity is different to Brisbane in this location- much more wild! I would love to know more behavioural details about these coastals as they present a danger to small pets here- one wrapped up a pet dog on the back stairs of the home I just purchased, and Im trying to modify my property to keep them out; or, at least make it less appealing to them. They eat people's chickens here very often- a friend said 8/10 of her adult chickens have gone.

[@lorgagssertao4036]

Thank you Brian! I really enjoyed the talk on this video. I now regret it so much... I worked & lived in Australia for 5 years and I totally ignored the amazing oportunity I could have had to further my knowledge on these species (Morelia) I only cared for my B&G Jungle Carpet Pythons on my terrariums at home :P cheers mate

[@aly822]

The appreciation for my country of Australia is really refreshing actually

[@RayTAllen]

I've been a fan of Australia since I saw my 1st Goana. I'd rather be there then in the U.S. right now..lol

[@justmyopinion9041]

Awesome!!

[@eugenio1542]

I saw a few in northern NSW. They were all truly psychedelic / rainbow multi coloured ? Spectacular in looks and vibes. "The Rainbow Serpent", of Aboriginal mythology, is the primary creation spirit around which the others collaborate in corroboree .

[@robertmoore1123]

Interesting video content . I started it now I have to go to work Damm it lol. I'll finish it later today or tonight. But what I saw is very interesting.

[@EliteExoticsBp]

Ausome video brother 👍👍👍

[@1softkiss]

Well said and I totally agree that cross breeding has become a BIG issue when it comes to all species of snakes !!

[@nature4you734]

Very interesting

[@Melmac1756]

👍🙏🤘 Fantastic video.

[@georgegoughnour1509]

Beautiful snake! Awesome angle!! Have had my girl, a Stardust Diamond Python, for about 4 months now. She’s apx 2 years of age and just over 1.3 meters. How old is yours at the time of this video? Thanks!!

[@robertmoore1123]

Intersection stuff . Thank youn

[@herpermike_]

I actually was wondering if I might have missed him talk about the rough scaled carpet python?! Or I think it's just the rough scaled python now lol, *Morelia Carinata*, sorry! But did I happen to miss him mention it?!

[@robsondesouza1982]

Pretty awesome....✌🏼😎👌🏼

[@wanik4]

You had me at intergrade.

[@nicholasbutler593]

I have an 8ft carpet hes awsome my favorite pythons how could i get in touch to ask questions or send pics that was very well done we def need to take care of the natural population

[@emmap8280]

If you go to Nick's website, its called inland reptiles, theres a contact section with an email address if you still wanted to contact him :) I'm hoping to have a jungle carpet some time around august (after 5 years of waiting!) and I'm still trying to build up the courage to email him!

[@pamcheney3239]

Didnt have deserts here until relatively recently also. South western carpet python is most genetically similar to the flinders ranges carpet pythons. Most of australia, was covered in rainforest until it started being burnt. Often. Thats why imbricata disappeared from the south central coast and the flinders ranges python was left isolated and adapted to specialising like bredli. Also, imbricata occurs at least to the border, through desert... i personally found one at eucla wa, in amongst grass tussocks. Far east of where that map showed. Dont see how they couldnt survive some of the desert since rabbits live everywhere there.

[@ManInTheStreet105]

In my experience, Bredl's bite... like they really bite.

[@Ben_E_Boi]

Damn I really want to ask this guy if he can recommend any good IPAs

[@Ochibason]

Great vid question why to a lot of snake keepers reptilse always have cock rock playing on their vids?? lol Great show thank you.

[@ethanhazen1131]

It’s me jessy and ari

[@dylanwicklund5129]

Ball pythons do the same thing, no 2 look identical. Even when they have a parthogenesis clutch. It will have the same genes, but it won't have the same patterns.

[@germaineparham9372]

Everybody tell me they get 8-9 ft and 15+ pds and can eat anything from rabbits to slightly bigger prey and they are built in similar size to dumerils boa .

[@fatalsilencesol0q881]

hahahah and they are on a rock pile somewhere 20.00 XD

[@hillbillyartscrafts4367]

i gave my kids up to adoption to go herping in Australia and it was the best sacrifice i ever made

[@outsideadventures6043]

Your slow

[@joshsmith7170]

do you think a blood and burm could breed successfully?

[@michealmoody206]

My Bredli smashes me. lol

[@unstoppableExodia]

I live in the country these pythons are from and I found the detailed info in this fascinating. Now that the guv has banned export and import of native fauna you guys need to be very organized with how you manage the genetic health of the snakes you have there. Over here we have breeders getting into morphs as well, of course we only have native snakes to develop captive breeding stock. The ability to hybridize is between species could be useful in morph creation

[@darrylopal1145]

My ex wife has a albino bredli it's an evil looking thing lol

[@marinjokautz4542]

Well said about the morphs and the hybrids. Totally agree with that. They destroy the hobby and the snake itself.

[@johanneschristoph9413]

The breeding helps the Genepool not decrease it! He talk about obsession, but that "lokalaty" fanatics don't understand that the most carpets even the "cleanest" are NOT clean. Nature is not clean too, by the way. Crossing these animals to a particular grade is a bomb for genetics. Same with the boa guys. I love my BCI and my carpet. They resembling all of them just perfectly. Both are so called mixes'.lol. That lokalaty bullshit drys' out the Genepool of our "home carpets" and is even toxic for the Hobby. (There is no clean blood anywhere, if someone has that send me a DNA test). Greed's
