jungle/diamonds ???

[v2r]

i'm looking for a nice display snake. this snake will be setup in the living room. i'm curious about jungles/diamonds. do the jungles keep the yellow in adulthood? do they tolerate handling well? are they active? do the diamonds have any behavorial differences than other carpets? would a jungle or diamond be a good choice for a display? i keep chondros and balls and none of mine i think would do well being on display in the living room.


thanks

I have a jungle and his color is awesome,hes 5 yrs old and he lets me handle him ,never bit me while i had him out only bit me twice during feeding. he is very vocal when i have him out but hes all talk,lol and hes active in his cage too.

Well for us we have an display cabniet in our living room, but there is a male amazon in his cage.What makes the cage look great is all of the live plants, b/c he usally is in his hide or is wrapped around a branch.

We have our carpets in a display cabniet too, and they seem to rather wrap around a branch rather than sit in a hide.

Baby jungle carpets get brighter yellow on them with age, so yes they will keep there adult colours.

Susan:
You said that your carpet is very vocal, what noise does he make?

[susan]

he hisses , sounds like your in a wind tunnel ive never come across this with my other snakes or lizards, usually they do that when there threatened but this one he "talks" when hes sitting on me , i know he doesnt feel threatened because hes relaxed sitting around me (hes 6 ft) but its funny because he is loud!!!! when i first got him it made me nervous but then i realized hes just vocal my husband even holds him and pets him and he was afraid of reps
