Jaguar Carpets aren't a good beginner snake. The majority of Jags have neurological problems, of which some can be quite severe.
Besides, there are much more interesting and beautiful carpets to choose from. Carpets will enjoy a tall cage when they are younger as they like to climb, however they are usually more terrestrial when they are older. Most Carpets will be in the 5-8 ft range when adult, so a 4x2x2 enclosure is perfect, an 2x2x2 cube or even a click clack with heat would be best for juvenile/hatchling carpets. There is a thread on here about how to set up a click clack. http://www.aussiepythons.com/forum/diy-zone-5392/guide-build-click-clack-dial-93266/
Do some more research, reading some of Dock Rock's articles for Southern Cross Reptiles is a good place to start.
Good luck

Think you're over exaggerating there, sure the neuro problems exist but to say the majority of them have it isn't exactly accurate, and definitely not the majority having the severe symptoms.
Not doubting your knowledge, just interested as to what evidence you have to state that some or all jags do or do not show neuro problems?
Are you stating as how they are kept or just the line being bred?
