I'm not really looking for the price of any particular carpet..actually, a list of all carpets with their individual prices is perferred. No, I don't want the cheapest prices, but rather an average and what I should expect to pay at an expo for all the species.

Also, is a hide box needed along as branches/shelves for perching or will hides be just fine? And do carpets make good display snakes? (meaning, are they constantly hiding like bps?)
