If you are going to do a carpet, I have been told Bredli and Inlands are probably the most laid back. Been told by a lot of people that jungles are always a little higher strung. My JCP was a terror when I got her. She still will bite at the drop of a hat if startled. She does eat like a horse though. She's about 3.5 ft and eats a small F/T rat every week.
