Irian Jayas seem to have the best temperament and are the smallest of the carpets, centralians are cool if they have a lot of red and good contrast but are expensive, jungles can be feisty and it’s a gamble if you are going to get a real yellow one that doesn’t turn muddy on ya (pay extra for a reputable breeder). I have an IJ and a JCP and I love them bolt. One bit of advice I can’t stress enough, FEED HIM RATS! NOT MICE! They get hooked on mice and most of the time you cant convert them to rats. Imagine trying to feed your adult carpet 5 to seen mice a feeding, it sucks. Put in the extra effort and find some pinky and fuzzy rats.Go to the Morelia forum for info on carpetes.

its really a personal taste, personally id like to have centralians but they are expensive. but if you get a nice one jungles can be expensive too. ive seen them up to $500. so get what YOU want, Snake Shack is right though what ever you do start them on rats im going through the mouse to rat battle right now with my jungle.
but i do recomend that everyone gets a Booker dog!!!

Great looking JCP you have there, and the dog isn't bad either. I hope you don't mind, I just made that JCP pic my new desktop background. Thanks,
