Diamond x Jungle Carpet Python - Our First!
My husband Matt has been saying for a long time that he wants a Diamond x Jungle Carpet. The small pet store that we get all of our frozens from got a very pretty male in. Matt came home and told me that I just had to see this snake. The next week, we went to get frozens. Matt showed me the snake, and I surprised him by buying it as an early Christmas gift. He is so excited, and our new snake is awesome! I can see why people love carpets so much. We named him Diomedes. The shop owner isn't sure how old he is. What do you all think?

Congratulations on a very nice addition. I think everyone should have a Carpet in the house. I'd suggest putting a small branch in his tub or mounting a couple of pieces of something like PVC pipe or wooden dowel rod. They are semi-arboreal and will enjoy something to climb on... :gj:

You all are awesome!! Thank you so much!
He came from a small pet store here. The owner used to breed Carpets and he sold this baby to someone that ended up selling it back because he couldn't care for so many snakes.
He is supposedly 4 years old but he is so small and skinny. He's super nippy too. He is striking at everything. I think he's hungry. We fed him and we barely dangled the rat in front of him and he had it coiled. I don't think he's that old. All of the photos that I've seen of 4 year old Carpets are so much bigger than he is. Is it possible that he's just a really small 4 year old?
He has a little climbing log in his tub right now. After he's settled in, we're gonna move him to a taller tub so he has more climbing room.
Again, thank you all so much! :D
