unknown snake

[kodie]

i have a small baby snake, about 30-40cm long. it looks just like a Darwin Carpet/Coastal Carpet but it has a Pink belly.
any ideas what it could be? it was sold as a female Darwin carpet python but i had a look today and it's actually a Male. so i'm starting to question whether or not it's a Darwin Carpet.

i have a few hatchling and yearling darwins they all have verry pink bellies, a little hard to see in the pic but there pink

how do you know its a male?

[kodie]

can tell by the tale on it

tail*

looking at the tail method is only 50% correct, you need to get it probed.

agree

ohk thanks. i know kinda how to tell with the tail. short is female and long is male but my snake is so agro! it's not even funny lol

So because it MAY have been probed incorrectly, the breeder got confused by what snakes they put together this season? >.> A pink belly doesn't really mean squat.

looking at the tail method is only 50% correct

I heard 70% of all statics are made up. It's true, I read it on the internet.

Actually according to the people that actually do it, it's far more correct then just 50%.


Edit.

i know kinda how to tell with the tail. short is female and long is male

Length doesn't mean anything... Might actually just trust the breeder imo

oh thanks. the video of the snake is nearly finished uploading so i'll show yous. but yer with the tail if the skinny part is short means its a girl because more fat body for reproductive system. just my 2 cents

My little Darwin was the same. When he was a hatchie he was pink and orange. He was also an odd shape, he was elliptical rather than round. But as he's getting bigger he's losing his baby colours and becoming more snake-shaped

Believe everything everyone has ever told you about reptiles, and you'll have a grand ol' time.
