| yeah sorry donks, not same sub-species but same species being Morelia spilota. We have a number of sub species of Morelia Spilota. M s Variegata being one of them.
Of course, many years about (about 15 I guess) All carpet pythons except Diamonds and Imbricata were M s Variegata. Since then they have been further reclassified to come up with Jungles, Darwins, Coastals and Murray Darlings. We also have a new speciees being Morelia Bredli. this snake used to be m s Variegata but because it has more than 9 (i think) scales between the eyes mr Bredl manage dto have it reclassified as a new species instead of a sub species.
So.... there is no Morelia Variegata, only Morelia Spilota Variegata.
Now, apparently, in Victoria, the govt hasn;t actually learned about the new sub species and they only recognise all carpets as M s variegata. Go figure.
And sorry, 10.30pm is not my best time to respond to these threads
