It's decided!!

Well I informed you all of my intetnions to get a 'bigger' snake and I've finally set my heart on the exact snake that I want (they may be bitey but i don't care, that's why we're in this business)... a Jungle Carpet Python!! Figured they were the snake for me after holding numerous different species down my local reptile store, researching them and genuinely just loving the grace of these snakes, I think I may go for a Jag but i'm not sure on this yet as there is £300 difference between the two, but we shall see, when I've found the perfect one for me (and have the money) expect pictures people... and lots of them ;) thanks again.

Sounds good. I never found them to be to bitey though....

Well I handled two different JCP's when I was in the store (just to see how I got on with them) and I just felt I had a really good 'vibe' with the two of them, I was told they have a really high feeding response but I feel aslong as your not stupid with the animal then theoretically you'd be fine :D absolutely gorgeous ones though :D

Congratulations! Look forward to the pictures of whatever you choose. I'm debating between a RTB and a carpet...decisions, decisions, lol! Take care & again, congratulations.

I was in the same boat of you (debating between RTB and JCP) I chose a JCP mainly for marking's other than anything else, any one that you decide to get I'm sure you'll be happy with, have fun and thanks hehe :D

great choice! u cant go wrong with a jag, they are alittle more expensive if im not mistaken but carpets are the best of both worlds, they have so many possabilties with cageing and what not which is why i got my costal carpet girl, i wanted to be able to build her a 6x4x3 foot cage when shes an adult and have pretty much endless options


as for the bity, id say they are more jumpy then anything and when u get a hatchling u wont even feel a strike, lol its actually kinda funny because they dont bite and wrap just this noodle sayin back up or ill bitecha. they deff grow out of it tho, my girl is probly still only a coupe months old and a foot and a half and shes already getting better, just likes to watch wats goin on and be ready.

awww she sounds nice, yeah that's why I'm getting one too if I'm honest the caging and the patterns/colours truly amazing snakes, in the shop i seen them climbing trees and stuff they just looked really peaceful haha :D

Welcome to carpets! Good choice I say <not that any of them are bad>

They can be pretty fiesty as younging, but they grow out of it with handling. I have two, ones alittle mouthy, but never bites. The other is as laid back as you can get without being a ball python. Shes about a seven foot jungle and an absolute doll. As for the feeding responce.. yah.. I dont do no tail dangling with them, I use tongs >:[

Yeah carpets are awesome :D it's definitely what I'm going to get, and I'm not afraid of being bitten, thats part of the job :D yeah I've got tongs already so it's just about getting everything else haha :P

Sweet! I have 2 female Coastal Carpet Pythons one 3ft the other 5ft. And they can be bitey as babies but usually stop after a few weeks of handling, other times they don't at all. They really aren't the bitey snake a lot of people make them out to be:colbert:. I was under the same assumption 6 years ago when I got into reptiles heavily and quickly found out otherwise.
