Help me decide

The next repticon show down here in Orlando I plan on getting myself another snake and I can’t decide. I have narrowed it down to these two:

1. Jungle Carpet Python
2. Green Tree Python

I just can’t decide so I’m wondering what the opinions here are

I'll admit to being partial to carpets over GTPs, but that's just me.

I am leaning more towards the carpets. I had a coastal years ago and it was one of my favorites. Any advice on the morphs? Albino etc? Do they have a different temperament than the normal phase? Or do they require any different care?

I personally don't know much about carpets beyond the need to research the morphs before buying, since some have known neurological defects that come with certain morphs.

Oh, ok. I'd get a Jungle Carpet. That's what I'm getting at Tinley. Carpets are easier to take care of than GTP's. GTP's need more humidity and are true arboreals while carpets can usually take humidity ranges from 40 to 60%. Also, I think GTP's dont' handle handling as well as carpets do.

As far as morphs go, the Darwin is the only pure albino we have in the states right now, I believe. They have coastal/Darwin albino crosses, but I don't know if you care about purity or not. The jags are widely available but all jags have the Neurological gene that comes with the jags. It's like the spider wobbles in the Ball Pythons. Jungles, you have the zebra and super zebra morphs. You have Jungle Jags and Diamond Jungle Jags. There is just so many crosses out there.

Ok so I ended up with something completely different. I got a male Anery Motley boa and a female Sharp Sunglow boa. Both are set up in their new homes and both even fed today when I got them home.

Honestly though I was a little unimpressed with the Orlando Repticon. The Jacksonville one was much better. Way more vendors and overall selection.

Sweet! I think research is important, but so is your gut feeling when you see them, as long as it's not a "way out in left field" impulse buy for which you aren't prepared.
