>>What size are the Visions? How long is the carpet?
These are the model #400 Visions, dimensions being 48" L x 26" W x 14" H. The carpets are each 5' (male) and 6' (female). I was actually kind of surprised at how relatively thin-bodied they are, as some of the information I've read online suggests that Centralians tend to be thicker-bodied than their other carpet cousins. The male is about the same thickness of a retic his same length (around 1.5 to 2" in diameter at his thickest point), but the female does have some girth to her, at around 3.5" diameter at her thickest point. It may be a trait they don't acquire until larger sizes are achieved (like their coloration), which would make sense when looking at the differences 1' in length makes between the male and the female.
As of now, the male is the only one that ever does any real exploring in the cage, using the 1.5" thick dowel rod perch, as well as the inside upper lip just behind the door. The female seems pretty content to just stay under her hide most all the time. Occasionally I'll catch her at night with part of her body sprawled partway across the top of the hide box. She went into a shed cycle now though, so she may become more active once she finishes.

These snakes are awesome. The male seems to really enjoy the dowel rod perch (not visible in the pics, unfortuantely) as well as the upper lip inside the enclosure. Because of that latter comment, I have to be careful when reaching in, especially with food! Other than that, though, these Visions seem to be working out very well for these pythons. Enjoy.
