| | | | I definately would'nt breed an atherton to a tully or palmerston.Some may breed palmerston x tully but i still don't think it's right.I believe in local specific breeding.It's already started where people don't really know what they are getting half the time due to cross breeding. |

but if i bred her with a different location jungle would that make them hybrids? or just mixed location jungles?
thanks in advance for any help you can give me.......

| | | | IMO fair dinkum jungles are 4-5 foot long.Athertons will grow in excess of 7 foot and so will cape yorks.The best thing you can do is keep your eyes peeled for a male capey.There was an adult male on RDU some time ago.I would have to say breeding different locals would make them hybrids.As i said it's something i don't believe in but not only that you could'nt fetch top dollar for them if and when selling and we have a new generation of herpers coming through to set an example for so things don't go out of control. |

and thank you for giving me a straight answer, i seem to find it hard somedays to get straight answers,

Cheers | She was just giving her opinion..and if you don't remember she was asking a question as the op  . Why is it so hard to think that, i woulda wondered the same thing as it sounds pretty logical. No need to be all arrogant.. |

| | Regular Member | Join Date: Jan-05 Location: Goulburn Valley Gender: | | | | I bought them as Cape Yorks from a bloke in QLD, in Vic we don't have cheynei so technically they are carpets down here. I am currently tracking down the breeder to be 100% sure and have spoken with a few others including Indicus on the matter. IMO they are cheynei. |

|  | Regular Member | | | | There are some similar ones to yours, I think, at pails for scales. Here are a couple of old photos of one I got from Jungleland  He's a stripey one, and has had 2 sheds since then - he's getting yellower each time. He's an angel too

This animal is a smoking hot specimen of what I call a TRUE, cape york JUNGLE.
There are way to many colour forms and colour variations found in wild occuring races, to be able to say comments like '' thats to yellow to be a cape york''
You can find an immense array of colours from typical SE QLD looking coastals, to brilliant Black and White specimens. All of these colour forms are found with in the massive thousands of square km that is Cape York.
It is such a vast area, it would be like calling a Gosford Diamond a NSW diamond. Technically its right but realisticly most people are way, way off when it comes to having the slightest clue about locales
Too many know it alls, that have not spent any time in the field
Cheers ,
Nick | | |
