I have a Mack that was given to me about 3 mo ago. Due to it being agressive. It is 5 yrs old around 8ft. I now have came to the conclusion that it is just VERY cage defensive (territorial). After gettin him out without gettin tagged he immediately calms down and has shown no inclination to bite. Put back in the cage and he is immediately defensive again. Took me awhile to get used to this behavior and now he is an awesome animal. And the irridecece is incredible, I love it when people says whats this PLAIN brown snake and the the light hits him and they are in AWWW!!

Carpet pythons are cool. Jungle carpets will hit about 7-8 feet. Angolans are neat, but very pricey. And if the only python experience you have is with ball pythons....a few thousand dollars might be out of your price range.

I like carpet's. They are neat snakes. You can always look into a hogg island boa...those hit around 7 feet or so.

I have 1.1 MacLotts. Tame as kittens, about 6-7' long. Female has a nasty feed response, but is extremely docile once out of the cage. They are inexpensive, but an Angolan will set you back at least $1500-2K. Angolans are basically ball pythons.
