Hi, it was recently my birthday, and I've been thinking of getting myself either some type of carpet python or a diamond x carpet with the money I received.

I've read some articles about both, and the care-sheet here. I was wondering if anyone could tell me the big differences between carpet pythons and diamond pythons, and if anyone knows any reliable breeders that sell either. Also, what types of cages do you guys keep adults in? I keep all my boas/pythons in the 4x2 cages from RBI, but I'm wondering if I would need a cage with more arboreal space, or if this space doesn't matter for the snake in captivity. Please let me know if you have any good info on either of these types of snakes! Or if you have some pictures of your adults you could share!

I would prefer a diamond x carpet because the ones I have seen online are absolutely stunning, but haven't seen as many around as regular types of carpet pythons, so I still have a lot of looking to do!
