Hogg island boa vs irian jaya carpet
I have a 5 ft BP, then I got a rescue 6 ft Boa which I just love and have had a ton of fun with. However, I wasn't planning on the Boa, I was wanting a Jungle Python.
Next I got a 7 ft Coastal Carpet instead. It just worked out that way and I am very pleased. A very cool, fun snake. And I agree with Gio, the Carpet is less clingy, quicker, and unpredictable in handling. And for me, since she is so long, I can only take my eyes away from her for a fraction of the time that you can the Boa or BP, which isn't much! Because she can reach so far and so quick!
Im glad I got the Boa first, otherwise I might not have ever picked one up. And I would have really missed out. And as I always say, any snake with a mustache just has to be fun!

Turned my back on Lizzy for one second and she's about to pull the pictures off of the wall!
Elvira, the BP

The one thing I found that you can count on about Balls is that they are consistent about their inconsistentcy.
