So i've always wanted to have a "big" snake, not one to breed, just to have. I've been researching and looking around and I think I have settled on a carpet python. However, due to space I don't want a huge one. I'm looking for something that will be ~7-8ft TOPS as an adult. Which is a good subspecies to start out with? Also, can anyone tell me a little bit more about the different subspecies'? (temperment (i know it depends on the snake, but generally speaking), any feeding issues or preferences, etc..)
