Re: jungle carpet
They're neat little guys to have around, I miss mine personally. You pretty much get a rough combo between a GTP and a BP...good display, but also an animal you can take out regularly. They seem to really like branch forks and not just straight horizontal perches in my experiences. Husbandry is pretty straightforward as you probably already know.

Great animals to work with. Just watch out during feeding time! They are voracious eaters.
Mine seem to love horizontal branches. They always perch up under the heat source so you can see them out all day.... and they sure do move around a lot during the night. Compared to a ball python you see lots of activity.

the best advice I can give is make space for more. you are gonna want several after you find out how awesome they are.

Re; Carpet Pythons
I only have one to compliment my 58 ball pythons and I can already say I will have more. The only problem I have is that my wife, who loves the Ball Pythons, isn't willing to even touch the Carpet. Moves too fast and is too skinny for her liking, but I love him! Here he is, a 2011 Diamond Jungle Jaguar

I definitely love mine. Shes about 5, i got her about a year back at repticon.
They can be nippy, especially at feeding times as stated above. Just getting her out of the feeding tank after she was done my brother got popped. It was bruised for a few days, these guys hit hard.
If you can deal with that though, they are great animals. She hasnt bitten me yet and i can get her out of the cage no problem.

I'm no expert, but my suggestion would be to get a really nice jungle or diamond x jungle, then ship it to me. Let me know when you're ready to ship, and I'll pm you my address.
