ive seen on the net that these are referred to as darwin carpets, north western carpets, new guinea carpets and Irian Jaya Carpet Pythons. Are these all the same species of variations of one another? are the non-australian species the same as the australian ones? |

I also thought that in Victoria all carpets are referred to as M.S.Variegata? is that right? Talk about making life difficult 
I'm 99.9% sure a North Western Carpet Python is a Darwin Carpet Python (god please let the first question I answer on here be correct), if not then I have just put my new Darwin down wrong on my books hehe...but I'm not sure about the others sorry mate. |

The Iran Jaya carpets' scientific name I believe is Morelia Spilota Harrisoni if I'm not mistaken. They are considered different, hence the other scientific name. And yes Darwins are known as Northwestern Carpets and I think even refered to as Northern carpets. |
