Carpets are awesome, one of my favorite snakes, if you get a baby you WILL get bitten. But it's not bad, they calm down with age and our great handlers.
I love my dumerils boa, she was my next snake after my BP.
I know thank you for the warning ^_^ with snakes I've come to accept and expect babies to be nervous, shy, and nippy.

I've been bitten by a garter snake, just a warning strike, didn't draw much blood.

Getting bit is part of the fun. I WILL NOT attempt to get bitten on propose and I will work with them to stop as much and as fast as I can, but bites are not a deterrent for me.
