Yeah, when I was asking around about carpet pythons, a few people mentioned that of all their snakes, their carpets were usually their favorite. They are a lot of fun to watch - this one loves to explore inside and outside of his enclosure.

If he becomes :cens0r::cens0r::cens0r::cens0r::cens0r:y don't let it get you down. he will grow out of it if you just keep up with him. I love my Butters, he loves to be brought out at parties and mingle. Great snakes.
Haha sounds good! Really glad to hear Butters turned out to be a wonderful snake eventually (also loving the name, reminds me of South Park LOL). The baby I have isn't bad, I did take a little bite to the chin yesterday when he was by my face and I turned around too quickly. Didn't hurt, my mistake, but better get bit now and teach him it doesn't do anything than get bit when he's significantly larger!
That said, I think he'll grow into a mellow adult. He's already allowing me to remove him from his enclosure without trying to strike (although sometimes he'll still try to avoid me), and I did indeed take him for a short walk around the house because I had to clean out his tub entirely. He did great, just hung out on my arm and then napped for about 30 minutes in my pocket. And other than snapping at my chin yesterday, he's only tried to strike at me one other time. He doesn't like me grabbing him but otherwise he's pretty good!

Thank you! I don't mind at all - the breeder is Nick Mutton. He has been wonderful throughout the whole process and produces very nice snakes, so I'm always happy to share my immensely positive experience with him. I found him on a list of vendors for the local reptile expo and contacted him when I saw he had an excellent reputation online and within the community. Great guy!
And thanks for helping me out in my initial looking for a snake thread!
