The link doesn't work for me but some of those Jaguar carpets are absolutely incredible looking animals...the colours are amazing!!!
Apparently they're a mutation that appeared from a pair of regular coastals.I don't think the genetics are fully understood yet and they"the US" are already crossing them with everything they can.

yes the green one came from coastal carpets. and that guy wants to breed the green one with the jaguar carpet python. there not happy unless the cross something. like the spotted python is being crossed with the children's and stimson python. the diamond with the coastal carpets,jungles and probably more.

SP,
I agree the Americans do like to cross alot of snakes, but on this occasion , they are both M.s.McDowelli(coastal carpets), both the green one and the Jaguar, just unusual colour varients.

Also I think that crossing childreni with maculosa or stimsoni has allready occured alot in the US because of the laws regarding the exportation of Australian wildlife. Also the Antaresia group of pythons were only recently separated into the different species.
I think the same would apply with the 'Coastals' which are actually probably a mix of various subspecies.

Alexahnder | Actually, if you go on the latest research with DNA, there may really be only a couple of different species of carpet python in Australia, I can't remember the exact one's, but it kind of went like this:
M.s.imbricata
M.bredli
and all other carpets were gentically similar in their DNA.
So what they are saying is that there are only really these 3 that are actually different from each other, and Jungles, coastal's etc.. are the same but just differently coloured , marked and sized.
A bit like the fact that we Humans are all one race, but come in different shapes, sizes , colours etc, depending on where you live in the world.

I understand what you are saying neil, but what i was trying to say that alot of the aussie reptiles overseas (and also in australia) are probably 'hybrids' because of when they species were allowed to be exported 30 years ago many breeders didn't line breed localities or subspecies etc.
