First off that is a very nice looking carpet python. now, the "pet store" who sold it to you should be ashamed of themselves. That is not a coastal, or if it is it is a cross. A coastal has a much lighter color and the markings on the head are never solid black. Of the several different species of carpet pythons the coastal is the largest reaching 10 ft give or take. The smaller (6 to 8 ft) common varieties are the jungle and irian jaya. Here is a site that explains more about carpet pythons. Please do not hesitate to use it and learn how to best provide for your new animal and good luck!

if its not a coastal then its at least crossed with a coastal. but im pretty sure it a coastal, now adays they breed so many different morphs of coastals and any snake for that matter that sometimes its hard to tell.

thats a definite jungle, its too black and too yellow, my coastal looks way lighter and more brown than that.
i love your cage, please take my advice, im not saying that you wont do this but... handle it as much as possible, dont neglect it for over two weeks, i did that with my adult boa, and she went from a sweetheart, to one mean snake, and im now struggling to go near her.
great snake, good luck
