I want a bigger snake than a ball python but i wanna stay within the pythons so whats my best bet??

Question

I think that a carpet python would be good but not sure anyother ideas?

Answer 1

I recomend you try an olive python, they are very friendly, love to be handles and can grow to 8ftplus.

Answer 2

i was actually thinking carpet python too. they are much more active than balls, but super cool too. i really liked the carpet we had at the pet store, she was just the sweetest most curious thing!

Answer 3

Depends how much you feel like spending. If you want to go all out, go for a dwarf burmese. Super dwarf retics. are okay, but much more active & attentive from my experience than the burms. If you don't have that much, carpets are good, spotted or children's pythons, & blood pythons (though the bloods get extremely hefty!).

Answer 4

A jungle carpet python would be a great choice. They normally grow to about 6 or 7 feet and are beautiful snakes, yellow and black. Babies can be pretty nippy, but easily tame down. My adults are extremely tame. JCP's were the first snake I ever bred. Just ask to see what the parents looked like. JCP's start out ugly as babies, brown and black, and get brighter as they grow, usually peaking at around 2 years of age.

Answer 5

Well it depends if you're looking for length like a ball python is about 4-5' and you're looking for around 7' then a carpet python is a good choice, I've had one and it was friendly and grew to about 3 feet before i sold it to get an albino ball python. But if you're looking for fatness which a ball python would be fatter than a carpet, then a ball python is your best choice. I would stay away from bumese and reticulated pythons unless you have room for a 12'+ snake and the food for it. Let me know if you have any other questions about the snake u decide to get.
