I found this picture that the article called a carpet python.

I've been researching pythons for the last few weeks, and even with my newness to the world of herps, I think I can tell pretty easily that this isn't a carpet. Looks more like a Burmese or an African Rock to me.

Could you give me your opinion? Am I crazy for not seeing a carpet here? I didn't think that they could get that thick from what else I've seen of them.
