I got another Dum. There weren\'t any carpet pythons there that I was particularly impressed with. Most of them had blurred, unclean markings. I found two that I liked, but the "breeders" had little information about them and made me uncomfortable. One said that he didn\'t know if his snake was a "carpet python or a carpet-diamond cross" so i said forget this guy.
The Dum I got is the prettiest I have seen, with deep mahogany coloring, very clean, sharp markings, and hints of pink and purple in the lighter areas. It also seems to be a very confident snake. it has hardly used its hide, which is unusual for a baby Dumeril\'s, or any baby snake for that matter. Has also eaten since I got it, which I think is impressive since I only picked him up on Saturday.
