Keep in mind, although they love to climb, Carpet's are semi-arboreal, although they lean more towards arboreal than say a BI, which is considered semi-arboreal as well. It also depends on the type of carpet. Jungles, I don't know about specifically, but when you say "arboreal snakes," I think ETB's and GTP's, not Carpets. The former spend almost all their time in trees and perches, where as carpets use their floor space and tend to go back and forth.
Also, for what's worth, I like Carpet's fine, but I believe, and correct the if I am wrong, on another post you were looking at a BI possibly. BI's are my favorite snakes to hold and they do like to cruise for food. My 3 have their own patterns. However, they are active enough when held, not like a BP, for example, but very calm and chill.
I love Yafe, and he's mellowing with age, but is pretty active when being held. Not an issue, but I would recommend holding an adult BI and an adult carpet. See what you want. Do more research.
im about 3-5 months out from purchasing so that i will. also as far as ground cover ill have hides along with ideally live plants but potentially fake aswell. im doing more research on activity and such. BIs are still a strong contender, primarily hog island, crawl cay, or caulker cay.
getting my hands on an adult carpet though, thats the hard part
