Carpet Python vs Boa

[Gio]

Thanks Gio, that's a lot of useful info! Seems like many of the folks here that have both, love them for their many similarities and a few key differences. Think I'm sold on a high contrast, black/yellow carpet should the opportunity arise again.

Your Barranquilla pics and posts were a big reason I got a couple of them last year. Hopefully some spring pics for a progression thread on those guys coming soon. Still undecided on keeping both.

Thanks,

I guess I forgot or didn't know about your Barranquilla boas.

Excellent choice for a boa and maybe only rivaled by a fine Suri or Perruvian IMO.

You can't go wrong with a flashy Jungle. The selectively bred types hold those colors without much change even at older ages.

I was actually impressed that my old girl, Jewel, who was a coastal mix had such neon coloring on her upper neck and head. I'm sure she had some jungle in her and possibly some other stuff.

This is a no brainer discussion now that I know you already have boas.

A carpet of any type is a must!

Congrats on your wise decision.
