A new question maybe?

Females are notorious for growing bigger, but I have personally seen 9ft males, and there are certainly bigger ones out there. 4x2x3 should be fine for a jungle carpet python, but it would be safer getting a male, because they tend to grow a little smaller. Expect a JCP to get 5-7 feet long. Tokay geckos have a notorious reputation for being defensive, and hard to tame. Kevin McCurley of NERD is evidence they can be tamed and kept successfully, here is an article he wrote here,


Hope this helps!

Thank. The red tail likes to get on top of her hide so I was going to do a shelf for sure. I was going back and forth on her size so thanks for confirming my suspicion. I need to check my measurements to make sure what that does to my arboreal enclosure.

How about a tree python? Are they about the same as the jungle? And yeah, I am going male if we do a jungle. One 10footer in the house is plenty.

While jungle's are semi-arboreal, green tree pythons are almost completely aboreal snakes and need at least another foot of height, four feet in total. They do best in a cage with three different perches, one on the bottom, one in the middle, and one on top. This is one of the species I will recomend a basking light for because they will almost never come down from their perch. In terms of size they can grow 4 to 6 feet but will never look it as they are pretty skinny snakes. Green tree pythons are also a lot more defensive then carpets so I wouldn't recommend them if you want to handle your pet, keep in mind there are plenty of species in the hobby that tolerate handling well, however, the taming process will just take time. According to others, any carpet python will be comfortable in that cage, but, I wouldn't feel comfortable with a big snake like that in a small cage. Jungles will most definitely fit, and they look amazing, although they can be hard to find during this season, so it might take awhile until you do.
