Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

im new here, but not to snakes. and i would never suggest cohabbing any snakes together unless for breeding purposes by an experienced hobbyist. i dont know what others would say, but just research cohabbing and i bet youll find your answer.

Well I don't suggest that at all. One they are 2 different kinds of snakes. One a Boa and another a Python. 2 Then come from completely different parts of the world. One South America another Australia. I don't like keeping any 2 snakes that aren't breeding in the same enclosure unless it is temporary (cage cleaning). But if you were I would make sure they are the same species or at least from the same continent.

Yeah, definitely don't put them together. The emerald needs a very high humidity environment, around 70-80% all the time, and the carpet needs only 60-65%, like a ball python. You'd end up with a carpet with an RI or blister disease, or a severely dehydrated emerald. IF they didn't fight. If you search around on forums there are many many threads on the topic of keeping snakes together and it is highly discouraged. Even keeping two snakes of the same species together is a bad idea. People have had snakes eat each other, or cause expensive and painful injuries fighting. Carpet pythons are fairly easy to keep, and generally hardy, but if you do not have a good level of experience keeping snakes I do NOT recommend an emerald. They are delicate snakes that are even more susceptible to poor husbandry that other boids. I have a female LTC emerald that I lucked out with. The guy I bought her from had her from a hatchling and she is docile, healthy, and has a great appetite. But she did not eat for a month when I first got her. Emeralds are particularly susceptible to regurgitation and once they start, they often don't stop. A simple one-time regurg from slightly off temps can result in the death of an otherwise healthy emerald because the snake will continue to puke even after the temps have been corrected. Since you asked if an emerald could be kept with a carpet python, I think you would do well to wait until you have researched a LOT more on both species. I'm not trying to offend you, I just don't want to see you bite off more than you can chew. I firmly believe that anyone can keep any kind of reptile as long as they have done their research and are diligent and careful. Best of luck with your herp decisions!

Out of what? That will be an impressive cage- lucky emerald. Mine is in the Exo-terra 18x18x24 vented terrarium and seems to be thriving. Two perfect sheds, voracious appetite, regular shits.
