| diamond or carpet.
hi everyone.
in the northern range of the diamond pythone there are natural intergrades..this is the name given to diamond x coastal carpet
there is also a few around that are breeding true intergrades but there are also people crossbreeding this species with the wrong form being used such as diamond x south east queensland coastal carpets. this is not the true form of intergrade.
as for the lady at the parks department saying one out of every 500 turn into a diamond.. that is absolute rubbish i would put her on the spot and ask her to back that statement up with some sort of proof , but thats just me.
anyway the only way a diamond can come out of a carpet is if they have shared bloodline..in which case to intergrades will produce all intergrades of differant visual degrees. if uyou pair a diamond with a carpet you will then get a mixture of visual diamonds, visual carpets and visual intergrades.
a throw back comes when there is a say carpet line that has diamond blood maybe as far back as grand parents..then every now and again you will get a throw back to a previous bloodline..
like the others have said with out a pic to look at we cant say what you have one way or the other..
but hope the info provided helps in some way..
cheers paul.
