Variegata Sizes

Hi all,

I'm hoping everyone can give me some opinions on some adult Variegata (Darwin) sizes? Apparently they're the 'smaller' of the Carpet's but doing some further reading people are saying they can reach up to 8+ feet? I realize snakes keep growing at a slower rate when they're old but what is the average size for a Darwin?

And also apparently they're arboreal?

I'd like to hear from some people that keep Darwin's as well!



Cheers

Hi mate, mine are roughly 5 foot and about 3 years old, they are definately arboreal, they also have a reputation for being a snappy python, but I have found this to be quite the opposite. According to some literature I have they can reach up to 2 meters.
