coastal can get quite big i think my one is 8 foot ish i think they can get to 10ft but not sure!!! u can spend for 50-120 for baby but it really depends on the snake how good it is but i have got a female to go with my male for 130 and shes bigger than my male!

there a great snake and very easy to handly the first years the wost cost they just want food all the time but if u put them time in u get a great snake at the end

hes a pic with of my male with a female jungle carpet so u can see the two colours



jcp is the yellow one and cp is other

i found one of my really nice jcp

Coastals are the largest carpets, and females can reach 10ft ish. But they are quite slender compared with a similar sized burmese for example. Jungles are quite a bit smaller. They are semi-arboreal and love to perch on a branch

Dead easy to care for, but some have a reputation for being nippy and they can be intimidating because of their size. 1 of mine is a bit fast, but the other 4 are fine, and they'll all get better as I handle them.

Propagating Carpet Pythons
This is an excellent caresheet

Cheapest I've seen is 75 quid on here recently and up to 150 in petshops. A guaranteed pure coastal from a good breeder could be a bit more. You'll get addicted, like me

Males and females get big. I know a guy with a 9 foot male and a 8 foot female, still under 10 years old, so still plenty of time to grow! They are quite chunky and strong too, but no were as chunky as a Boa Constrictor of the same size for example.
