Carpet questions
hi im pretty new to the site although i have been reading posts fora month or so but this is my first thread.
Anyway i have had my ball for a while now and am thinking about getting a bigger more difficult snake my ideas are Tai beauty snake, Costal carpet and jungle carpet
I know quite a biut about the Tai's but not so much on carpets. so i have a couple of questions.
1. how big do costals get also what is the girth is it similair to a red tail boa girth wise?
2. how big do jungles get how is the girth
3. any relible breeder links would be apreciated
4. do you reccomend these snakes?!
5. Can you post pics of any full grown jungles or costals with a object of refrence
6. any other radom info aprecciated
sry for the typos

Re: Carpet questions
Coastals get the biggest, some being over 10'...I have a female around 9' + and she eats 3 or 4 Jumbo rats at a time...
Irian Jayas stay the smallest...Around 5' full grown...I hope to produce I.J. Granites and I.J. 66% het Granites this year...
Carpets are great out going snakes...They are also a few genetic Morphs being produced...Jon
Female Coastal Carpet
Irian Jaya 100% het Granite

There's a pet store near me that has a really pretty, mature Carpet on display. He(?) looks to be about as big around as a standard soda can.

Anthony is a great breeder (I bought my male IJCP from him) and he has a great caresheet about carpet pythons on his website.

Re: Carpet questions
even a 10'+ coastal wont get all that big around as long as they're properly fed. i've seen some picture of carpets that are pretty obese but they're a fairly slender snake that tends to bulk up earlier in life than a lot of others. the cool thing about coastals especially is that they get this gigantic knuckle head as they get older.

I would go with a jungle carpet as they are a bit smaller than a coastal.
As far as which is nicer, that is personal opinion. I have sold off my adult jungles to focus on my coastal and IJ projects.
The only jungle carpet morph is the zebra. This is not in the States yet. The coastal morphs are still running close to $1000+. The only ones accessible currently are the tiger and jaguar.
