They came from the same clutch and were sold to me as morellia spiloita so don't know the correct sub species just that they are carpets.....Have only been into the herp world for about 2 years and don't have the knoweledge to identify them properley.

Well there you go, they come from the same clutch, same parents and they can look as different as chalk and cheese. It would be impossible for anyone to give a definate locality specific sub species from a photo. I would just call them carpets for now..lol.

Probably because their parents are a Coastal and a Murray Darling or something....
its obvious clutchmates have a huge variation in Coastals especially. But if he has them under that class, it means there probably hybrids.. Lets hope not..

Caustichumor:
I think your right and I will just have to not use them for breeding unless with each other although I don't want to do that as they are direct siblings...any info on that subject would be great. I have been told that reptiles are diff from other animal and that to mate them with each other does not hurt them or the offspring....but this was just what someone has written on a forum.
