OMG I'm so confused? Kyle has a brother?? or are you a cousin?? With a first name that starts with K as well.. or are you Kyle as well XD bahaha

I couldn't tell you enclosure size as I do use the rack system myself (much easier I find).
And I agree with the above statement... "Is there such a thing as a Carpet Python that won't eat?"
My girl serafina is a glutton.. I could have just fed her, an hour later open the tank to check on her, instant feed mode. The next day I check on her, instant feed mode.. the moment I open her tub she's ready to eat lmao

whaaaat!? carpet is definitely < ball pythons. LOL

I have 2 ball pythons and have met a few carpet pythons and have definitely crossed carpets off my Want List

but to each his own!!

Having four K Millers is gotta be a lot of fun. I bet your parents did that on purpose lol!

Im sorry. I prefer Carpets over Balls.

I have a ball python that acts like a carpet python, and a carpet python that acts like a ball python, truthfully both are awesome snakes and rather similar in disposition when given the chance. ~Caylan.S.~

Thats interesting. From what Ive seen, balls are docile and make great lap snakes and when scared, they just wrap themselves tightly in a bal. Carpets are active, love to climb and are very curious. I dont see any similarity other than the fact that my IJs are docile as well.

I have carpets and a ball and this is them to a "T".
They are both great just for different reasons.
Balls are great for just hanging out , carpets are very active and you have to "handle" them or be handled by them

BUT if you want a bit of both.....you want a boa

they are about half way in between.

i prefer carpets over balls too...

carpets are active, perch & make use of arboreal setups, reach the perfect size (big enough to be impressive but small enough to keep in an apartment and manageable by 1 person), and are great to handle (Spot likes to wrap his tail around my arms and climb all over me), andddd carpet morphs have been up and coming so carpets too come a plethora of different patterns and colors

sometimes i'm tempted to create a Carpets vs Balls thread with a poll and all

Niether of mine have eaten in weeks. Not worried though. My male went 4 months without food last year.
