    I want a new snake...help

    Hey guys this is my second thread on the forum! Well I have two ball pythons one male spider drake and one female pastel cloe. They are wonderful animals and plan on breeding them later this year. BUt I want more . So Ive been researching pet snakes with medium care requirements and between 5-8 feet in length and came up on carpet pythons. They are really intresting to me and would be a little bit bigger than my balls I just want some advice on this species or an others you think would be better. Are they agressive? Relative size? Reliable breeder? Any help is much appreciated thanks

    I like jungle carpets. Their care is different from a ball, but I consider it easier than a GTP.
    Neonates can be nippy, but adults are usually pretty docile. Most have a good feeding response.
    Set it up in an arboreal enclosure, and it will be out on it's perch 90% of the time.

    I know nothing about carpets though, so someone else can chime in and inform you about that one. I just thought I'd throw in my suggestion for a new snake, because it's the one I want. I'm trying to find a nice Black Milksnake. I had never considered colubrids before, but after seeing the Black Milksnake, I must have one! They reach an average of 4-6ft, to my knowledge, and are said to be fairly docile. Not to mention how awesome it is to watch them start from tricolored (hatchling) and mature into solid black (adult)!!

    Obviously Females Are Going To Be Larger Than Males, The Size Depends Which Type Of Species You Get, I've Just Got My First Jungle Carpet, Really Awesome Snake, I've Got a Male And I'm Expecting Him To Grow Between 6 and 7 feet.
