You'll really enjoy your carpet. I have a little Jungle Carpet that is a character and seems to really like being out exploring but you have to keep a close eye on her she is so fast.She is too small to be a "neck" snake but still tries to wrap around my neck and she keeps trying to get in my shirt (up the sleeve, down the neck - she is fast and can wrap that long, skinny tail around anything). But she is a messy thing too - crapped all over her climbing tree, what a flipping mess. She was a bit defensive when I first got her but I handle her a lot and she is great now. She is much more active than my ball (hardly ever see her out of hide) or boa (although he roams a lot on certain nights) plus a superb eater.
