Difference between jungle pythons

[Logan & Allana]

Hi, just wondering what the difference is between jungle pythons. I just brought a breeding pair today and they are Atherton Jungle Pythons (sorry if that's spelt wrong). They have yellow in them but I don't think it's the really really bright yellow, just an average colour yellow but they still look very nice. Can anyone tell me the different species of them, also is this why some are real bright yellow and others not.

Another question I have is what time of the year do you put the male in with the female and how long do you leave him in for, also how long does it take from the time of mateing to when the female lays her eggs. Is it best to leave there eggs in with them or take them out into a incubator. Thanks Heaps

Jungles are a Sub Species of Carpet python, yours being "Athertons" simply means their locality origin is that area.

Yes there is only one 'species' of Jungle, Athertons are not surprisingly found on the Atherton Tablelands. Some people don't include Athertons in the Jungle group by virtue of their length when compared to other Jungles, they can grow to over 10 feet whereas other Jungles can be as little as 3 feet in length.
They vary enormously in colour even in the same small area, some are bright almost flouro yellow others a dull golden yellow, white and even red or orange.

Hey Allana, you should get them sexed as you should never just go by the seller telling you they are male and female.
