Well I picked up my carpet python, I would of waited a little while before getting him because I do have priorities to spend my money on right now, but he wasn't as expensive as most that I've seen and I just fell in love with his picture. I'm happy I got him, I'm so in love with him. When I reach out to get him, he lets out a really small quiet hissing sound just to make himself look tough, then climbs up onto my hand and up to my shoulder. He's only 4 feet right now, he's smaller than I thought he would be. No name yet either.

Thank you :D They do seem really addicting, I'm already thinking of adding a really nice jungle CP in the future but it's going to have to wait. This little guy is the third snake I've brought in this month, I don't have a happy dad right now. :p

Nice. You know you'll need at least 5 more carpets though, right?

Thank you! :) Haha I would love being able to have the space for 5 more! But I do see another one (or possibly two) sometime in the future for sure. They are really gorgeous snakes. I even took him out yesterday and someone who was afraid of snakes came over to look at him and told me he had really pretty colors.

You know you will eventually have to get him a bigger enclosure. Even the largest racks are too small for adult carpets. Do you have something for him to climb on? Congrats aagain on your snake though. He looks great.

Yes I know :) We're working on building bigger enclosures for all my snakes, we just need to buy the plexiglass to get started. His enclosure will be a 5x2. He has a branch right now in his bin, and a hidey. :D And thank you.

That's funny that he hissed at you. When we first got our coastal, he hissed at us the first time we picked him up, then after that he never did it again. I kind of wish he would hiss at us again because it's super cute, but it's probably better that he doesn't since I would imagine he would have to be pissed off if he was hissing. Carpet pythons seem to think they are bigger than they really are :)

My carpet talks to me all the time. Call it a hiss, or just exhaling hard or loud....it's cute...and in no way does she do it aggressively. :)

I'm pretty sure mine has even chirped at me before too. They are definitely talkers and I love every second of it.
