I think the carpet is a wise choice, espically if you have no previous Morelia experience.
Snakes cost that much for 2 reasons usually:
(1) they're hard to breed
(2) they're very rare
2 usually is a result of 1
That's why Eastern Indigoes are $600+, they're difficult to breed also. The fact that diamond python prices haven't dropped much in the last few years tells me there are still very few people breeding them successfully.
Things ALWAYS look easier on paper also, actually applying the knowledge sometimes is a different thing altogether.
A diamond python is on my wish list, not strictly for the price but because I have a 3 year old daughter and some other snakes right now, and I know I don't have the time to devote to the Diamond to ensure it's health. So if I don't have the time, I might just as well flush my $1000 down the toilet. They're aren't some mystic snake that requires voodoo knowledge to keep healthy. I just liken them to Emerald Tree Boas, they have narrow, specific requirements and don't do too well if you get outside the husbandry boundaries for them.
