I voted IJ Carpet, but would gladly say Jungle or any carpet as well.

Out of your current batch everything, sans the boa constrictor is quite terrestrial. My BC is interested in climbing and still does so however the carpet does more. When it comes to display snakes, carpets are fantastic! They can get rather large, and I'd even add a Coastal or Bredli to you list if you'd like a little size. ALL carpets are semi arboreal and will use the full height of your cage so plan for that.

Also keep in mind that with carpet pythons, there is male combat and in the species that do combat, the males, not the females will be larger on average, which is true for IJ's, however it is lesser studied in jungles so it's inconclusive with them at this point.

Carpets can be nippy when you, but it's comical and harmless, I've been bitten by my young coastal 3 times and not a single drop of blood has come. The snake has settled down a lot since being here and with handling.

Carpets are also very hardy animals and can deal with minor husbandry errors, or adjustments.

They can move really fast, and can be quite active. If you can't get into retics due to size, I think carpets are pretty slick.

THE COMPLETE CARPET PYTHON By Nick Mutton and Justin Julander is a must read book!

This is my coastal.




Here in the US, unless you are set on purity, you will find integration, mixing, crossing is common. This IS mostly coastal but there is a chance of IJ, diamond or jungle mixed in. The parents are close to 10 feet and 8.5 feet and colored completely different.



I don't think you'd regret getting any type of carpet that's for sure!!
