Who is a really good breeder of Carpets that I can get a hold of?

Well there are lot of reputable dealers......Will Leary(www.reptilicusreptiles.net), Anthony Caponetto(www.acreptiles.com), Yasser Moustafa(www.spitfirereptiles.com), and many more. I have talked with them all and they are eager to help with anything they can.

Thanks for the help with the breeders. They have very good websites as well. I especially liked Spitfire reptiles' site. One question: if I acquired a hatchling or young jungle, how long before it outgrows its 39 gallon tall cage? Thanks!

Well, it depends really. I use a general rule of thumb for my carpets...it is this....if the snake exceeds two times the length of the cage then I get them something larger. Some jungles grow a little faster than others, but I would say you could get at least a year and a half out of a 39 gal. if not two years. Then again, the activity of the snake plays a large role too. If the snake is very active then that size tank may not be sufficient for that long, if it's a lazy snake then it will last a while. If you're looking to get a jungle. I would suggest contacting Will Leary, or Selective Origins(www.selectiveorigins.com). They both have the best I've personally seen. I have two yearling jungles from Will. Check them out.
