I breed ball python's but am new to carpet's..i could use a few tips on what's diffrent.i know they like to warmer and a little more moist than ball's and need vine's.anything im missing.i could't pass these two up they where just given to me there of good size 6.5 and 7 feet and beautiful.oh and can carpets get IBD like ball pythons

I would keep them a little cooler than I would keep balls.
Hot spot of 90 or so, gradient, etc...
Plenty of SPACE, use a big cage (4x2x2 each as a minnimum).
Humidity should be moderate, not dripping wet. Just increase humidity during shed cycles and you will be fine.

I don't know specifically of any carpets w/ IBD, but assume that they can get it.

As far as I know, any python can get IBD.
