They can reach 10-12 and NERD has a female that I believe is around 14 feet. I'll post a photo below, courtesy of NERD. Built like a ratsnake...absolutely not. I've heard the ratsnake description used on the Superdwarfs, not the Jampea. Temperment from animal to animal but obviously you're going to have a much easier time with a CB than a WC. A full grown jamp could live happily in a 6 foot cage I'm sure. There are many others that keep them so maybe someone else can give you more photos and answers.
