Just wondering what the average mood of your jungle carpet is. I've heard stories from both sides of the spectrum and I'd like to hear what others have experienced.
Myself, I have a 7yr male, though he was nasty as a juvie, he's the nicest snake I have ever owned. He won't even bite a live mouse. And my 3yr female, well, she's slowly getting used to my touch, the nips are quite painful now.

Most carpets as babies are very nippy and most grow out of that stage rather quickly sometimes they dont grow out of it as fast.
I have 5 carpets total, 3 are adults and ive been bitten by all 3 only a total of 6 times, and that was all before they were a year old, there kitten like now.
But my Baby Jaguars I just got have bitten me like 15 times in less than a month, Its just a baby thing I guess.
Just a suggestion, When my carpets were babies and they'd try to bite me I'd, spray them with a light mist from a water bottle, They hate it, and over time will associate the spraying with biting your hand.
