0.1 Irian Jaya Carpet

My male JCP was insane when I got him. He was lunging at me from across the room, haha. He was just a scared little snake. I left him alone for the first couple of weeks, now he has calmed down (5 months later). I found after I picked him up if I just walked around with him in my hands he would be more interested in the surroundings than me. He is a handful when he is out, not biting or lunging, but he is very curious and likes to move fast He is nothing like my Ball who is a couch potato.

Carpet's are definitely curious snakes that's why I like em more than balls, but you can't beat some of the BP morphs.

Confirm. They are semi-arboreal, so they will spend alot of time hanging out on any branches or shelves offered. Here is a photo of my IJ in his 105 quart tub. The next project that I have planned, after I finish the tank that I'm currently working on, is to remove his branch and install some PVC perches for him, which should be alot easier to clean and disinfect.

Can't beat PVC when it comes to cleaning, im buying some of that F10 disinfectant and see how that works, but I have to get updated pictures of this IJ girl she's coloring up.
