Re: Smaller Carpets
Palmerston jungles. They rarely exceed 5 feet, and usually stay around 4 feet long.
I forgot who but there was an australian breeder of locality jungles and he mentioned that jungles from cowley beach also stay as small.
Nick Mutton has a pretty nice collection of palmerstons if you ever decide to get one.

Re: Smaller Carpets
Try precision reptiles as well. They are based in Germany but have a UK agent who will bring over what you want. I have snakes from both and they are both top quality (not to say you can't get top quality elsewhere as well)

Re: Smaller Carpets
Don't worry about them being expensive as the price in euros on the website is pretty much what you will pay when it is converted to pounds. He goes over a couple of times a year and brings back lots to sell so it makes the import cost next to nothing.when I got my zebra from him it was a direct conversion with the exchange rate at the time give or take a few pounds.

Re: Smaller Carpets
Given the temperament of most carpets as adults why the concern over size?

Re: Smaller Carpets
5ft or JCP is not like 5 ft of boa or anything. My male JCP is about 6' and I can carry him around on my arm. If it is enclosure size that is an issue maybe you should consider a stimpsons python. Not a carpet but another very cool but smaller Aussie snake. Personally I think 6-8 ft of snake is perfect.

Yes... none available in the trade over there. Cowley and Innisfail JCPs. Innisfail JCPs top out at 4 foot.
