4ft high is a wate for any carpet imo, 2ft is plenty especially for the more slender jungles. a 4x2x2 is perfect although with IJ's and Jungles you should get away with a 3x2x2 for all but the biggest examples.

Taller vivs make a much better display here is my 4 x 4 x 2. My jungle is over 6 feet long so may well have some coastal in him but he barely ever goes to ground.



4 x 4 x 2

I prefer the extra hight too, all my JCPs like to climb and sit on the highest point. it also makes it easier to get in and out off the viv.

It's all down to prefference of the keeper

do you think a 4 x 3 x 2 (L x H x W) would be good for a ijcp or jcp assuming it could reach 5 to 6 ft in length ???

Determination, Keep handling it and it will soon calm down, as in weeks in my experience. You may have to take a few for the team at first but its all in the head, a bite from a young carpet doesnt hurt at all really, more shock than anything.
