I just got a coastal carpet a few weeks ago. My second snake. First one was a BP. It was a completly unexpected buy. I was actually out of town visiting a friend. I say the snake the day before I left ( a 7 foot female, super docile) and that night decided I was going to buy her and the day I was leaving i had to pick up all the equipment and her before I left town to go back home. She is amazing.
