new to pythons

i just purchased a jungle carpet python and i was just looking for some general information. my last snake was a kingsnake (which i wasn't too pleased with because of the kingsnake mannerisms, such as musting everytime i picked him up, eating problems and slight aggression) i understand the jungle carpets can be nippy when young. but if there is any iformation that anybody could give me that i may have missed when doing research would be greatly appreciated.

Haha!

If you didn't like a kingsnake because of attitude/eating problems, then you picked yourself up the wrong species of snake!

All pythons, particularly jungles can be VERY nippy and VERY picky eaters.

Sounds to me like you should've picked yourself up a corn snake...

In any case, here is a great article written by Anthony Caponetto on carpet python care:
