Jungle Carpet or Bredli Carpet

[guambomb832]

I want another snake and since I already have a ball python I want to go a bit bigger.I heard Jungles and Bredlis stay 6-8 feet and since they are semi-arboreal they won't be as thick as say a ball python.So the question is, which would you prefer a Jungle Carpet or a Bredli Carpet?

Well as I just said in your other post, my next snake is a jungle carpet, maybe a coastal carpet. I have to get some hands on experience with an adult before I decide. Luckily I a good friend of mine has a good friend who keeps a few and produces a few clutches a year. So at my friends wedding this summer I hopefully will be meeting the breeder of my next snake.

I said Jungle because I just like them And I have one! I can't fairly say I wouldn't like Bredli Carpets just as much, though. I've never met one.

Depends on which you like, i like costals and jungles the same

Both! They are both great pythons, so it is hard to pick one (at least for me). Guess it depends on what kind of attributes you want in a carpet python. Jungles are smaller, but they tend to be a bit more high strung, while bredli get to be 8 ft, but are very placid and mellow as adults. Jungles can have beautiful yellow and black patterns, which is very visually appealing, while breldi can have some awesome reds and creams that I enjoy. The bredli will also change colors to some degree lightening and darkening with various temps, seasons, and maybe moods. Jungles often prefer to eat only mice, while bredli will eat ANYTHING! They are both relatively easy to keep and breed, but bredli take a little longer to mature. The decision is just too hard for me, so I have lots of both. Make sure you get something that you really like and good luck.

Jungle if your prepared to keep humidity above 50%

Bredl's if you want a hardier snake with no high humidity requirments.

Both snakes are awesome, I plan on getting a bredl's for my next snake.

I've been reading up a lot about different carpets and so far I think the Jags are the coolest. Though, I do LOVE the Jungles as well. I've heard the Bredli's are pretty calm and not that nippy like the Jungles tend to be when babies/juveniles. Though, through time the Jungles get nicer and not as nippy. I chose the JCP, I really like them :].

I don't know where this "comparing nippiness of carpet subspecies" started, but IMO it's most likely a load of hooey. If you want a snake that isn't nippy, look for one that isn't nippy. You'll find aggressive hatchlings among all carpet subspecies, and you'll find calm ones too. Get the kind of snake you like, but put in the effort to find one that has the looks and temperment you're looking for!

It really all depends on what you want, I however like the JCP. Especially if you get a nice quality(color) one.

I chose Bredli, because of their rich reddish color and pattern. Also because I just bought one
