what do you think of this one

hi everybody,
just thought i'd share some pics of this guy i got the other day, i'm lead to believe it's a pure coastal, but i'm not 100% certain so i thought i'd ask, and any idea of the location it might come from, i know coastals all look the same, but it doesn't hurt to ask.........

and check out the nice stripe down it's back, plus i like the head pattern.....

cheers,
steve.........

I'm not quite sure what you mean there, it is nothing like a Murray Darling. What do you mean bred for the stripe ?

pmsl.......... hey matt, any reason i should have any doubts,

i was just a bit sus on the colour down the sides, i have a few
coastals but none with that yellowy/greeny colour,
i bought a coastal with that colour before and it turned out to
be a cross, but not saying what at the moment as it's not about
my other snake, lol,

cheers,
steve...........

hi serpent lady,
it's not anything like a md,
and most pythons are bred for stripes now days,

thanks fly2high, looks like it might be pure coastal,
now any idea as to the location?

cheers,
steve...........

I cant really see the colours down the sides your talking about, but with a Coastals being so variable its going to be pretty hard.

So what do you plan on breeding it with



What "other" snake :wink:

Mate I have seen snakes a lot less Coastal looking than that one recently where the owners have sworn they are pure.
