Morelia amethistina - scrub
Morelia oenpelliensis - oenpelli rock
? - Gammon ranges - more closely related to metcalfei or imbricata?
So this is how it stands now? | Morelia amethistina was reclassified to Morelia kinghorni in recent years.

| | Regular Member | | | | | Wasn't saying it's a bad thing, just pmsl when I found the 2 threads. It's actually a good thing cause it gives you guys an indication of the interest. These 2 threads have mobs of posts and views....and there isn't any pics of albino's, morphs or freak's and as a bonus noone has sworn, fueded or had their post deleted, yet! [which is unusual for a popular thread] ; ) |

Dna has the genetic code (recipe if u will) for the hormones which decide skin coulour. If u artificially insimnate an egg into an unrelated mother, the baby will have no distinguishing features of the surrogate. |

I know janeticks is difficult to get your head around, but it's just coincidence that people resemble their parents - we're all genetically the same, don't you read the posts on APS? It's the same with the Carpets, it's just coincidence that the babies look like their parents! Diamond Carpets, Jungles, etc etc, they are genetically identical! It's just as likely that a baby from two Diamonds will come out like a tiny black and gold Jungle, and vice versa. Don't listen to the geneticists, they come up with all sorts of crazy ideas, listen to the people who post on forums, who listen to the geneticists without understanding any of it, then give their interpretations! I always learn so much about janeticks around here!

Thanks | In NSW it means a Darwin Carpet (a.k.a. Northwest carpet or Top End Carpet).
