Irian Jaya Carpet Python and Ball Python comparison

[franks]

They are extremely easy to handle btw (responding to your other question.) They are much lighter, and stronger than ball pythons, and really kind of handle themselves. A ball python needs to be held in a way, my IJ just climbs all over me. She can wrap around me once and have 3' just dangling around smelling the ground, couch etc. I take her out and walk around when I watch TV, do dishes, or read. She uses me as a jungle gym really. I have corn snakes, a boa, multiple ball pythons, and out of those groups, she is the easiest to handle by far. Always moving, but not "flighty" like a kingsnake or corn would be. I rarely have to "treadmill" her with my hands.
