Got to say all the coastals I've seen round here are somewhat darker than that, with more chocolate in them as opposed to the tan and sandy colour......but the colouration is so variable its not funny.

| | Regular Member | Join Date: Feb-07 Location: Darwin Age/Gender: 32 | | | | yes its a great article, this snake looks a bit like one of the townsvile carpets in the article. but as everyone says even local populations can be highly variable. i know that the wild nt carpets i have seen have huge color variations in the same locality.

I agree with others that it looks very similar to Proserpine locale carpet pythons that I have seen. However, considering the history of the snake is unknown, it's probably best if you don't refer to it as a "Proserpine" in case it isn't.
