about a month ago i traded my ball for a 07 carpet at the raleigh reptile show because i wanted a bigger snake. Mine is a 07' male costal carpet. they are the biggest carpets and he will average out somewhere between 8-10'. He makes a great display snake. he is not always out but most of the time hes out on his branch. when i have him out he is very active and curious about everything. He is right at 6 or 7 ft now and i have him in a 75 gallon tank and it is perfect for him.
