Great Deal on those carpets BTW. Carpet pythons come in as many tempraments as they do in patterns. They are a very variable snakes thru and thru.
My adult male took a year to tame into a neck-snake and I purchased him at 3 feet. My hatchling female I've had since november and she is still taking pot shots at me every time I hold her. On the other hand I've heard of Carpets that tame in days, and there are others that have never struck at their handlers in their lives.
Biggest piece of advice I can say is to be patient, and handle often. These snakes are a bit more high-strung than boas or other ground snakes. They will panic and react poorly to being restrained or handled with quick movements. Mine also seem to be VERY sensitive to nervousness. So keep that all in mind and hopefully they'll tame down quickly.
Best of luck and hope this helped
