Jungle Carpet enclosure orientation

[dakski]

i thought the same thing about the temp gradient. also, arent bredlis even bigger?

truthfully i think this stuff is coming from people who dont actually own carpets/arboreal snakes, because ive heard they spend a lot of their time in the air anyways plus im still following the length + depth = snake length rule

There are some good resources online - mainly breeders, and some really good books (kind of expensive if I recall and older) that you can get from Amazon, etc. I think the good one I have is from Australia. I can check.

Keep in mind, although they love to climb, Carpet's are semi-arboreal, although they lean more towards arboreal than say a BI, which is considered semi-arboreal as well. It also depends on the type of carpet. Jungles, I don't know about specifically, but when you say "arboreal snakes," I think ETB's and GTP's, not Carpets. The former spend almost all their time in trees and perches, where as carpets use their floor space and tend to go back and forth.

Also, for what's worth, I like Carpet's fine, but I believe, and correct the if I am wrong, on another post you were looking at a BI possibly. BI's are my favorite snakes to hold and they do like to cruise for food. My 3 have their own patterns. However, they are active enough when held, not like a BP, for example, but very calm and chill.

I love Yafe, and he's mellowing with age, but is pretty active when being held. Not an issue, but I would recommend holding an adult BI and an adult carpet. See what you want. Do more research.
