I just read a source that says they're known to get up to 14 feet!? LOL -I knew there was a reason I never looked into carpet pythons very far...
He is a hybrid of Irian Jaya and Darwin, the two smallest carpet python species. They usually don't get as big as other carpet species and usually not more than 6+ feet. We will see. I'll keep feeding him and we will see where he ends up. Again, happy I got a bigger tank than was recommended.

B- I’m not sure I’d trust that information source. Typically the largest carpets are gonna top out at 10’ max and those are very rare. Most large adults are only between 6-8’. My largest carpets are about 7’.

Oh good. I know many "answers" online are aimed at the most "impressive stats". But still, if Yafe is 6' at only 5 years of age, I'd expect him to put on some more growth.

Do you expect Yafe's color to fade? I understand that a lot of snakes are bright as youngsters but their colors fade as they age.

I am not sure. Shayna, my BP, faded a little with age, but not too much. I know it can happen with BP's, but I don't know how that works with Carpets. So far, he definitely isn't fading. He's still super bright and yellow. He lost most of the orange/peach tones he had on his body and face and neck, although there is still a little around his face and neck. I imagine breeding has something to do with it as well. I've seen Darwin Albino carpets who are young and to nearly as bright as Yafe. I am not sure if the IJ cross helps the yellows be more intense or not, as they are not too common that I've seen (IJ/Darwin Hybrids). I do not believe there is an IJ albino that's been found, and that's one of the reasons they cross them with Darwins.
I hope he stays bright and intense, but will love him the same either way.

Yafe is still on medium rats, but growing nicely. I will keep on those every two weeks for a bit now.
He's now 1,330G dry and looks healthy and seems happy. That works for me.
