I recently passed on a carpet python rehoming, but it has me doing the research in case something like that comes up again. Browsing around in the Morelia forums I can see where several of you have both boas and carpet pythons. There's some commentary, but I didn't see a specific thread related to the key differences (or I may have missed it). What would you say are the main differences? I have boa experience, but none with pythons, not even a BP.

Which sub-types could be kept in enclosures similar to boas? Something like 4x2x2 or 6x2x2 - not wanting to go as high as 8+.

Are all sub-types equally good for handling?

Max size and handling are most important for me over looks, but I do love the high yellow to black contrast on some of them I've seen here. Would love all 3 considerations in a display snake.
