I dont usually see jungles for under 100-120 a piece so I'd say so lol. My coastal carpet was 40 but they are a little more common from what I hear.

Lowest I paid for some of mine was $150 and the higest was $375 they mostly averaged around $250 a piece. I agree with the poster though if the source is reliable and trustworthy by all means go for it.

Thanks, for all the responses what do yall think of this picture...(no its not mine but its the one they have up, so I'm thinking its one of the ones for sale) and above picture is the advertising words that come with it.

Just born carpet pythons. Beautiful patterns. Choose which python you would like to adopt for a $70 rehoming fee. Momma is almost 9ft. Papa is 8ft. These snakes will not disappoint. Quantity discounts.

Kind of hard for them to be wild caught since all Carpets except Irian Jayas are from Australia. ;)

Actually, it is hard to say what type of carpets they are, period. There has been so much cross breeding with the species, that it is most likely that no carpet is full blood what it is supposed to be...so, really, 9ft isn't impractical for a Jungle. It may have had some coastal heritage. Anyway, the little one in the picture looks nice. If it is within driving range, I would go look at them personally, just to see how they are kept, and get an idea for how good this offer truly is. Otherwise, just ask the people lots of questions regarding their care, and if they are willing to work with you, chances are they are reputable. The one in the pic looks really nice, so just going on that, I'd say it is worth the $70, but you gotta do your own research on that one.
