    What is a carpet ball python?

    Do you mean a hybrid between a carpet and a ball python? If not a hybrid, then there is no snake called a carpet ball python.

    LOL I think you mean carpet pythons? They are a totally different species than ball pythons. I think they're australian? they are really neat and if well brought-up are said to have cool personalities. They are medium-sized, and not super bulky.

    Yeah carpet pythons are awesome, but if you get one as a baby, you WILL get bitten lol. But I've been bit by a 4' jungle carpet and its not bad at all.

    There are carpet pythons and ball pythons (2 different species) and there are carpballs (hybrid Carpet X BP)

    If you are interested in carpet pythons this should be a good read. http://www.acreptiles.com/main/index...=82&Itemid=142

    Lol if I didn't decide to get more ball python morphs, I would have gotten a jungle carpet. I love them, but yeah they're a little feisty to say the least

    What is a carpet ball python?

    Carpet pythons are a lot different than ball pythons. They poke their nose into everything and extremely curious. I have two and so far never been bit. They do get rather large fully grown and have a high food drive. Mine are extremely docile and like puppy dogs.

    I love my carpet. Shes between 6.5an 7. Like MH said very nosey, fun to handle she wants to see everything. She was tempermental at first (gotten as an adult) but tamed down easy with proper care.
