Irain jaya carpet python

[Apophis]

Ok so I just got an offer from a guy wanting to trade me his Irain jaya carpet for my boat. I kinda want to but the snake is four feet long, he says it's not aggressive or anything but still not sure. He comes with a cage the is 3x2x4. Just wondering if any body. Has an opinion on IJ's I have never dealt with them so I'm not sure about it. The guys husbandry doesn't seem too good either so Id like to get the snake because I kno I can take care of it right. Any opinions are helpful. I kno there's not really any q's but yea.

Doubt it's a fair trade an IJ is not really expensive compare to a boat (well of course I guess it depends on the boat ), you will generally find IJ from $150 to $500 depending on sex , quality and size.

This one of mine when she was younger



Not sure what other snakes you own but carpets are intelligent snakes very inquisitive and very aware of their surrounding unlike BP.

I only have one Bp. Thank you for your post. How can I convert this guy to rats the owner said he feeds three or four mice a week and I already have my Bp on rat pups? Once I get a few more I will begin breeding rats.

That will be the tricky part carpets are very hard to switch to rats which is why a lot of breeders will start them on rats to avoid that problem.

You will likely have to try to trick him anyway you can (using old mice bedding is where I would start)

Will that 4x3x2 cage be big enough or will I have to get another one?

It's a good size cage for an IJ no need to get anything bigger.
