Some grow longer than Royals, but more slender, so probably no more snake.

I like carpets too, but I think my next snake will be a male royal. IJ's are the smallest carpet at about 4-5ft I think.

That is the one that is on my future list...the Irian, but i like the jungle jags, but i read they are a cross between jungles and coastals, if i have it right and get to big. I dont have the space for a big viv.

I just wanted to know what they are like to keep, i also read they are very finnicky eaters..sounds like a royal dont it..lol..

Though yesterday i was thinking of a peice of furniture that is just taking up space..lol...

Thank Matty, some of them lose there color as they get older dont they? there are some nice shots on that site, and i found a Irian Jag to...

I would need a set up first, think that might be a job for a chap on the dark side..

My next royal is first though...

what are you after a Jungle Jag an Irian or a Coastal?

Most of them grow out of it with handling though dont they?

Are you in South Wales?

Are you far from Abercraf or Pen-Y-Cae?
