Hey guys! I'm going to be getting a couple snakes this coming August. At least one will be a ball python, and for the second, I've been exploring my options. One snake I really like is the jungle carpet python! I was able to hold and interact with one recently and I really enjoy their inquisitive yet docile nature. There's a lot to them that I really enjoy.

Been looking over some care sheets and I find most recommending 3 ft wide, 18in deep, and 24in tall enclosures. The tanks I have are both 36x18x18 - will the 6 inch height difference be a huge problem if I decide on a JCP? Worth noting that I will be getting a male JCP, so he'd more than likely be on the smaller side of your JCP size. He would have plenty of things to climb in there (I accidentally ordered too many things due to a website malfunction... whoops).

Tips and info are very welcomed! Thank you!
