Welcome to carpets! Good choice I say <not that any of them are bad>

They can be pretty fiesty as younging, but they grow out of it with handling. I have two, ones alittle mouthy, but never bites. The other is as laid back as you can get without being a ball python. Shes about a seven foot jungle and an absolute doll. As for the feeding responce.. yah.. I dont do no tail dangling with them, I use tongs >:[
