the official carpet python census

Pretty cool snakes, but most seem a little big for me. My lifetime rule is to never keep anything that needs anything larger than a 4x2 and rats. No 6x3's or rabbits for me.

I dont hear of many breeders who feed their carpets rabbits? The ones I know all feed rats, and a 4'x2' enclosure can house an adult Jungle Carpet Python just fine. :)

Well then, maybe after college. The jaguars and hypo jaguars are mindblowing.

I only have one ball python but am considering getting something larger within this next year. I'd love to get a Jaguar. I hear the females can get up to nine feet but are not too heavy bodied so you can still handle them by yourself. Is that true?

yeah, if you know what you're doing it's not a problem... if you're inexperienced, then i would not recommend it i guess.

here's a large adult female coastal jag that's as big around as she'll get most likely... she's still growing longer though. i handle them by myself all the time.

I keep my JCP in a 3x2x2. He's doing great :)

I plan on sticking with my single Ball python for maybe a year before I would consider getting a larger snake. That will give me plenty of time to master the husbandry of of my ball plus research and prepare for a larger animal. That is a beautiful Jaguar you've got Colin. Does she have a good temperament? I was considering a Red tail boa but the Jaguar carpets seem more beautiful and manageable and less common as well.

Wow!!!

wow what are the red ones?
And did you let mama hatch her eggs or just put her in with them for the cute pic?

I cant believe how big they can get, glad I got a male so he should stay smaller. He's a jungle and my only one, had him just a week now. He is so cute and so far super friendly. He is also polite when it comes to taking his food. he strikes but not hard, just sort of gently takes his mouse.

This is Stang
