TC.24.03 is an exceptional Carpondro, renowned for its vigilant and continuous tracing behavior. During feeding time, it exhibits heightened attentiveness to its surroundings, focusing intensely on any nearby movement. If I am in close proximity with its tub open, its attention shifts entirely to me, leading it to get distracted from its food. Consequently, I leave it alone during feeding and after striking and wrapping to ensure its comfort and well-being. This individual handles very well, treating your fingers as a perch, as indicated in one of the above pictures. Embrace the unique qualities of TC.24.03, bred with care and precision at My Site.

75/25 Carpondros should be cared for, similar to how Gree Tree Pythons are cared for. Carpet pythons possess a larger and more diverse natural habitat than do GTPs, with varying conditions inhabiting the Southern regions of Papua New Guinea and much of the Northern and Eastern, Southeastern regions of Australia. GTPs inhabit Papua New Guinea and surrounding islands, which are only a mere part of the upper Northern Tip of Australia. It is potentially that 75/25 Carpondros may be able to handle a wider range of temperatures and humidity levels than that of pure GTPs. I am currently treating them identically as far as care goes to neonate GTPs. Higher temps and even lower humidity could be considered for future husbandry and habitat requirements. Use discretion on how the snake is shedding, ensuring it’s always in one piece. If Sheds are spotty and not in one piece, that can be an indicator of dehydration and too hot of temps.
All hybrid neonates are established in shoebox-sized tubs in a snake rack with a hot side ranging from 80-87°F. The key to their care is constant monitoring. I monitor the direct temps with a digital thermostat and observe where the snake spends most of their time. If the snake is only perching on the cool side, I generally adjust the heat a couple of degrees until the snake seeks the heat out some days. This level of attention is crucial for their well-being.
Paper towels are kept as substrate, with a small 3" ceramic water bowl and two horizontal perches. The perches are made from plastic PVC tubing and positioned on the upper section of each cage. Ensure the perches are around the same circumference as the snake's body.
I spray neonates daily to ensure freshwater droplets are available on the walls and the snake's body to stay hydrated. I often see them drinking straight from a slow drip that I offer them.
Carpondros are being offered food weekly consisting of pinky or fuzzy mice roughly the same girth as the thickest part of the snake’s body. It is important not to strain the bowels of GTPs and potentially Carpondros. Avoid considerably large meals to prevent any risk of prolapse. 75/25 Carpondros may be able to handle larger meals compared to adult GTPs when they are older, but they should be offered smaller meals as they are young.
