I bought this fella about a year ago, he was advertised as a Vic. He aint all Vic though as you can see, I was thinking maybe Vic/Jungle hybrid. Any thoughts people?

Patern looks like an MD  You never know it could just be a MD with unuasual colours.

When you say it's a "Vic" do you mean an Imbricata? I haven't seen many but the ones I have seen have had similar markings to yours.

Yeah Greebo. Imbricata, only I have a couple more and they look nothin like this one. The pics do no justice for him, he's brilliant black & white with faint yellow dorsal patterns.

Whatever it is, it is a fine looking snake IMO.

That's why I asked. Not all Metcalfei are Murray Darlings. MDs are only a locality form of Metcalfei. So that is a Victorian form of Metcalfei then? Makes sense to me, the metcalfei around here look nothing like MDs.
Or lets just call it an Inland python.....
