Even my husband seemed disappointed in the carpets and suggested that I just wait and get one from a breeder online.

The good news? My husband was hesitant about the carpets when a seller talked about them biting so much, but ended up being won over when he saw a seller with a 6 foot bright yellow adult around his shoulders. :-)

Win/Win!

So you will still be able to get a carpet down the road. The colors typically improve with age, so don't be discouraged about that. The really bright colors are usually from selectively bred snakes so you will be better off going with a trusted breeder for that type.

When they are young, the little bites don't draw blood or hurt. They out grow the bite stage fast, at least mine did.

Gio- that's what I, and the local reseller told him.. I think he was just put off by a seller talking about being bitten by slightly older ones that had not been handled. I'm anticipating that I'll have to wait at least until after Christmas to start looking for one now. With the two new additions plus the expense of setting up the snake room, I've got about all I can handle until I get a rack and the heating for the snake room up and running.

Carpet pythons are some of my favorite snakes. Awesome personalities, very active, and can be tamed pretty easily:gj: I cant speak for BRB's though sorry
