To our knowledge, the taxon has not been crossed with other lineages of carpets. VPI accomplished the first captive breeding of Irian Jaya carpets and our own breeding colony is comprised mostly of wild-bred animals that were hatched in captivity. We enjoy and are intrigued by the considerable variation in pattern and color that naturally occurs in this population of carpets Any pair of snakes can produce a trophy baby. Irian Jaya carpets have great genetic potential with which a keeper can selectively breed to create a beautiful captive lineage of carpet in the future. Babies are easy to feed.
Adults typically accept rats readily.
