actually looking for maybe a yearling that would grow to a good size adult.
You might want to start a new thread in the Boa section. You may get some good recommendations.

Get both, it's the right thing to do ;). If you go albino carpet, I recommend pure Darwin, which unfortunately has become the minority of available albinos.

I am a bit of a purist Dennis but why do you recommend the Darwin instead of a great looking cross which I've seen a few of lately? I really don't have any breeding plans. I'm just looking for a beautiful snake.

Well, just because that's what I would do, LOL. I really have no preference and keep plenty of morelia mixes in my collection. Just tipping you off that most albinos these days are crosses.

LOL. The pure Darwin is actually my first choice too Dennis. I'm just not sure I want to drop a G-note on one, especially since I can get an equally aesthetically pleasing animal with good genetics for much less. I've got 0.1 JJ x JCP and the other 3 carpets are all pure Jungle, Coastal and Bredli. If I add a female albino and I'll have a nice carpet rainbow. :D
