    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

O.K. Here is where I stand on this. I have come down to two choices for a pet snake. One is a spotted python, because of the smaller size it gets and from what I've researched they seem to be a good choice. I have read where they are alittle nippy as a young snake. But I do like the way they keep their markings as they get bigger. The other choice I'm thinking of is a Jungle Carpet Python. I like these for the good temperment and they get really beautiful as they grow. If I go with one of these I would like to find a hi yellow color. The draw back I have found to these are they are a more expensive choice and finding a good specimen, & is kind of difficult because alot of what is advertised is really dark in color. What I have to start them out in is a 54 gallon aquarium. it is 2ft high by 20 inches deep (front to back) and atleast 2 ft across. I have made a custom background for it and made a perching area for the snake. In the pic I haven't added a water bowl yet but I will. What I will put the snake in later is a 125 gallon (72x18x24) where there is alot of room and the background is still being built. Please send me some feedback on this. Any input is welcome and if anyone knows some good breeders for either snakes, please let me know.One other choice I had thought of previously is a Brazilian ranbow boa. If I go this I would also add a humidifier for the enviroment.

My personal choice would be a JCP but I am a carpet guy. Dont have any experience with Spotted pythons. Were you planning on buying a baby, yearling, or adult. carpets are typically nippy as babies as well, but generally calm down and are verytame as adults. It really comes down to what you and what you want out of the animal. Jungles make excellent display animals as they spend a lot of time climbing and perching out in the open Hope this helps.
 
If you go with a JCP make sure to look at pics of the parents that is the only way to tell how they will turn out JCPs are dark and dull as babies,
 
This is not a discussion forum, it is a classified used for buying, selling and trading herps and other related items. There are many forums that have alot of members that would be happy to help. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
