Hey Ya'll. I really want a carpet python as my first snake and I can't decide to get an Irian Jaya or Jungle. I want a snake that is a reasonable size (not too big, not too small). I kind of don't have a ton of floor space so a cage can't be too big. I want the snake to be easy to handle but not boring. I also want a pure snake so Irian Jayas are more likely for that I guess. Which would you recommend? Thanks for your help!

I would get a Irian Jaya!!! They are alot more calmer.

also,with jungles,you never know how the adult will look.i know a lot of people who swear by th adage"the uglier the baby jungle,the prettier the adult",but that is seldom the case in my experiance.with ij's,they only get better,with the nicer ones getting great orange blazes up the side.plus,ij's are calmer,more easy going from the get-go.
