Well I guess Irian Jayas are smaller..but my second Coastal was about 6 feet. At first it seemed like a bigger snake, but after a day or so I realized she wasnt that big really, and I could easily handle her by myself. Im 17 like you (same age area) and had no trouble talking my mom down. Its a caged animal. What is it going to do? I always hate it when people sell their Pythons because "I have cats now" or "Im having a baby on the way".
If you keep the cage locked and secure an adult Carpet is going to have a hell of a time getting out. I got my first python in 1998. Since then, the biggest snake related problem I have had is bites. If you buy a young Carpet you might get bit a lot, or when your not expecting it. Python bites scare you more than they hurt. But getting bitten by a baby Carpet on a regular basis teaches you what not to do (i.e. touching the tail).
