I think i'm ready for my first large python. Recommendations?

I was also going to say carpets. Coastals, bredls, and diamonds all have a nice size adult length to them, but stay on the skinny side build wise. Im kinda biased tho, total carpet freak

why do people seem to be recommending every type of carpet except jungles? (total curiosity here)

Big snake?

How about a boa like this?

This guy says his boa is 14 years old now. This is a MALE Peruvian. Right at 10 feet here. Not the rule but the exception.

But a female Iquitos Peruvian boa will be plenty big. Or a female Argentine boa.

Boa personality is almost always good. Almost LOL!

Costal carpets are a bit more slim but the females can go 11 feet.

Also look at Olive pythons. Olives are totally underrated. They may take you passed 10 feet though.

they typically don't get the size the op is looking for, even tho I do own a supposed a pure jungle that is 9 foot, but due to her size I kinda doubt she is, but thats what she was sold to me as.

Jungles are nice if you get the high contrast ones. But they fall into the middle of the ground size wise. They don't have the girth of Irian Jaya (which are shorter) and they don't have the length of inland / coastal / diamond. Jungles are for people who want jungles, but are hard pressed to fit into a category outside of that IMO

I really do love my boas. After having BPs, the boas are great, thy're interactive, but still docile enough to have out while watching a movie. Mine are still small, but I've never had a problem with any aggression. Baby nippyness, but nothing else. my BP have me a worse tag than either of my boas

So let me get this straight- IJs are thicker/girthier than JCPs? That would be something interesting and worth knowing. Lol

Yep. I know many I that take rabbits.

I'd like to see a pic of an IJ (preferably pure) big enough to do this.:gj:

Google is your friend :) my IJ duo are only 2 years old this year. Still small! But when they get there... I'll update it!
