Just thought I would post a spot for fellow carpet owners. Maybe ONE shot of your snake and a description, to help others understand the differences....
Jacob, a late 08 Irian Jaya (or New Guinea depending on who is asking) Carpet python:

coastals get VERY big for future reference, which is why when someone offered me the right money I sold Surf. He was only 8 months old and already 5ft+ Was very skinny (compared to many 5ft snakes) but strong and growing fast.
yeah the whole 7-10ft thing didn't really bother me. In the end i really just didn't like the look of them as much. maybe i'll get a Carpet next year. though i might have to sneak it in past the wife and when she sees it try and convince her that its always been there.LOL
