Your carpet is looking great xcj. I agree they really don't take up much floor space. Mine are usually coiled up or perched on a branch. My 1kg Coastal is very comfortable in a 40g tank and he's about 4.5ft. If AP is running behind a bit I'd better hurry and order me a T-12 soon. I have to take the family to the beach first though.
Come on ziggy! What's more important the family or the snakes? lol
