This is what I currently keep my year old 75% coastal 25% jungle carpet python in. He will be moved into a much larger cage by the time he is an adult.



Pictured is an 1/2 of an animal plastics T8 (whole cage is 4'x2'x1' so the half he is in is 2'x2'x1')

His cage has a PVC perch I made for him, 2 reptile basics hides (small size) and a 4" diameter water dish.

This site has some good information on carpets:
