Thinking of a carpet???

I am thinking of adding a carpet python to my small collection. I dont have alot of room so im thinking of the Irian Jaya. I have read alot on them so far, but I was hoping to get some opinions of actual owners. Anyone have any advice? also I havent been able to find the going price on one of these beauties, anyone know about what a hatchling or yearling will go for?

You know, I really don't recommend keeping any Morelia spilota subspecies in a cage smaller than 3x2x2.. having said that, I keep my Jungle in one of those. You can go with IJ, Jungle, and even some smaller Coastals in those cages.

Just shoot some questions, it's a little hard to encompass everything about them ;)

Quality or "riff raff?"

hows about a price range for quality and riff raff...lol

Quality...150-200+

Riff Raff... 50

What is the difference between the quality and riff raff?? is it just the coloration of them?

Pretty much. Riff raff might likely be some % mix rather than pure IJ?

You tell me.

Now see, those are both examples of riff raff animals. The bottom one happens to be an unfortunate example of a jungle.

Well I guess I havent seen enough pictures of carpets because they both look great to me...lol
