The carpet python that gets the largest is the coastal carpet python. Below is a pic of our breeder female coastal carpet. She is approaching 8 ft, and was about 4,500g before she dropped her clutch this year. Coastals can get larger than this, sometimes getting over 10 ft. The cage size you suggested would be plenty large enough to house an adult female carpet. Let me know if you have any other questions, I love talking carpets!!!

I read your well-meaning questions but have to wonder, based on the language of your post, if you are either old enough or wizened enough to be housing any but the most basic care animals. No offense intended. Just seems that you might be wishing for more than you're qualified to keep.
