Just wondering what exactly a proserpine carpet is. As far as I can see its another Coastal Carpet correct, mcdowelli? Just proserpine being the locale?
Some people state these animals as being different, are they and if so in what way?

I think it is just the locale. To me they're just coastals.

What other characteristics define a proserpine?

The first thing that comes to mind is a cross somewhere in the wild with a jungle.

|  | Subscriber | | | | | I saw some of these for the first time at the expo on sat and they're just stunning, very different to other costals imo, much lighter colouration and a different pattern, sort of similar to a reticulated but in different colours, obviously. Really beautiful snakes.
The pictures posted are typical colours as far as i can tell, sort of pale grey-green and grey-brown, with darker zig-zags seperating them. | | |
