Yes I have seen a lot of animals marketed as "black and gold" and unless I have some serious vision problems they could not be mistaken for gold or even yellow for that matter. I recently bought an Atherton because it had a nicely defined pattern, now it is not a colourful animal anyway you slice it, but I have seen animals with the same colours sold as B&G.

My newest fella, 6yr old male bred by SXR. He's a bit past his prime colour wise, but still a good looker.   |

He still is a stunning B/G Saz.... If he was mine, I would sell all his juvies as B/G jungles..... Even though these snakes are so variable with color in the same clutch..... I wasn't lying when I call them B/G..... It's just the buyers bad luck,lol.........

It's interesting to read how people define black and gold in jungles. I've always called mine B&W as I think the first jungle I saw was described as a B&W.
I have also described some of mine as 24 carat gold and others 16 carat gold.
Using such a description maybe a mistake as you don't often see 24 carat gold jewellery in Aust and there is a fair difference in colour between 24 carat and 12 or 16 carat gold.
24 carat gold is more of a dark yellow and the lower the carat ratio goes generally the colour is also a lighter yellow.
Old habits are hard to change as I'll still be referring to mine as B&W's.
The attached pic is the last of the 2006 clutch I sold a couple of months ago

Do you mean black and whites Nev?If so you may have to change those old habits as yours are as far from being black and white as they come other than maybe as hatchlings????

Looks like a mustard yellow colour which still falls in the black and gold category but not the brightest of specimens,is it an Atherton?It could also just be a coastal need to see a head shot!!

Thanks Browns :-)
haha. Did you think I was trying to trick you all by posting a coastal without the head? :p
He's (apparently) a Tully. I've attached a head shot.

Yep definitely jungle,some coastals have just as good yellow as some jungles,not a bad Tully probably brighter in the flesh,a jungle freak specimen?

I'm not really sure how accurate the colours are, but I don't think they're far off (photos upstairs, jungles downstairs). Could depend on monitor calibration as well though. But yeah, while I say I think the colour is fairly accurate, I don't think the photos do him justice. He just looks.... better... in the flesh :-)
At this stage the plan is to try putting him over two females next year, one of which is mine (see attachment--that photo isn't mine, I might add, it was taken by the previous owner), the other of which is a friend's with colour and pattern closer to my male.
