It's not really too big for a jungle as my girl who's just turned 1yr old is just on 1m as well so it's a reasonable size!

Hmmmm Steve.... NO MORE snakes!!! You already have enough...

That's a nice looking python ponybug, I would have a look at the Atherton pythons for a mate for your girl, I have seen some very nice animals with similar colouration to her. (unless you want to add a splash more colour into your clutch.)

Ok now im even more confused then when I made the thread. Steve I though that capey of yours was a coastal, not a jungle.

And are those babies jungles or not. But nevermind.. probably all be sucked up by now.

There's no doubt in my mind that they are Morelia Spilota Cheynei.

i have 4 options at the moment, there is george the atherton,

or jud my tully.........



or agro my tully/palmerston?.......

sorry for hijacking your thread vixenbabe, but this might help answer your question a bit as all these are different location jungles.........

Oh god, I think im gunna ignore the subject now lol. If that is an atherton, it has the same colouration as the capey hatchies. How do you possibly tell whether they are capes or athertons, because athertons dont sell for anywhere near $700 do they, or is it still dependent on their colouration as to what price they fetch.

its very simple,
not all jungles or cheynei are created equal ,???? each is a individual in looks ???
each clutch has variations in patterns and colours
some are dull, some are bright, colours vary from ivory to bright yellow,
just as the black can vary from jet black, to dull black markings,
the nicer the jungle the more you are likely to pay ,

Capeys are not that difficult to track down, so Ponybug, i dont know why you would even consider crossing them with any other locale.

IMO, the "Cape York" monkier, covers such a large area, that I am irked by it in some ways. I respect the views of some of the forums more knowledgealbe members, such as the Stock's, Junglefreak, Indicus and co. , who really do have a grasp on local specific knowledge that can only be attained by years of experience in the area, but both the "Cape York" and "Atherton Jungle" names strike me as rather broad, considering the rather diverse python species/sub species that occur within relatively close proximity to each other up north (NB. hows that sentence for poor punctuation!). I can remember a specific post by Indicus, not that i can be bothered tracking it down, that went into some detail about the variation in general Atherton locale pythons, explaining the variations in colour/pattern/size throughout what he considered the Athertons distribution, from variagata like animals, jungle type, and even coastal like animals from different extremes of their ranges. Cape York in my opinion, would be similar due to the large geographical region that the name encompasses.

Thats just my 2 cents....

If you were to cross these different local jungles ponybug, what you sell the offspring as ? Your first pic is a cape york. i have'nt yet seen an atherton of that colour.

ihaveherps, i agree, i was sold both my girls as cape york jungles, they are both from the same line, i was hoping the second one was a male but i sexed it as a f/m, but because i liked her i still bought her, if you go back and read wokka's post he stated that my girl wasn't a cape york but looked like his palmerston, i don't want to breed her with anything else, thats the point, i was asking wokka what his adults were like because I WANTED TO BUY A MALE CAPE YORK JUNGLE to pair with my 2 girls, then caustichumor stated that she looked like an atherton, i have been asking around to buy a male as close to what my girl looked like as possible, it was only the 2 replys to my pics that made me ask the questions about what to breed her with,

thanks flinders, i just want to know what she is before i breed her, thats the point, i want to buy the same type of male as she is,

but just a question for you both (ihaveherps and flinders), would breeding her with a palmerston or atherton jungle male be any different then breeding an atherton to a tully jungle? all a want is a straight answer,

PLEASE DON'T TURN THIS INTO A HYBRID DEBATE,

i'm asking because i DON'T want to breed her to something that will be classed as a hybrid.............
