Note they are not known for engaging in male to male combat, so natural selection has geared toward larger females.

The largest growing carpet pythons by definition would be M. bredli, which is arguablly a different sub species :-), but the largest growing Morelia would be the Scrub Python. None the less, a 7-9 ft coastal is NOT a common site.
Do you have some links to more coastal carpet info?
