Have you considered any of the amethystine pythons? They are awesome alternatives to carpet pythons and have a gorgeous velvet like look to them. I know they get a little bigger than what you mentioned but they are well worth it. I had a pair a long time ago that were very tame and we're absolute show stoppers.

I have seen those before and I do agree they are stunning, but that is a lot of snake. The average seems to be around 11 ft for females and 8 for males.
That, and I have not dealt with a snake that requires high humidity. Do you recall what the percentage you kept them at? That is really my biggest concern, otherwise, I would have really considered the other direction towards a BRB.
Otherwise, 80-90 degree range again. What the Woma is at.

I keep a 80-90 temp gradient and my humidity has ranged from 30-65 depending on the season. A 6x2x2 would be plenty of room for any carpet under 10ft imo. AP cages makes a 4x2x6 and a 6x2x4 that I would love to have. Come to think of it, my 2 jungles could split that 6x2x4 even if they're both 6 footers. Hmmm.

Granted the length is there the girth is not for the most part. Think of them as a longer carpet python. Another thing to consider is the length is often over exaggerated. Humidity was kept in the 70's without any issues.
