Unknown Carpet Python

[Silverbrew]

Hi everyone as I am new to Australian reptiles could someone please tell me what type of carpet python this is?

I bought this from a local pet shop in South Australia but am not interested in dissing the shop.
I am just interested in what type of carpet python this is and whether or not it is a hypomelanistic version?

Thanks for all your help

It looks like a costal

 

[D3pro]

Not a hypo, probably a darwin... or a coastal...

Looks like a standard Coastal, hypomelanistic means reduced melanin (black pigment), the snakes you show clearly has black in its patterning, so that means it is not a hypo

thanks guys was sold to me as a Darwin's Python was just wondering what you all thought cause thought the Darwins has a mainly ringed pattern to it?

"Looks" like a Brisbane Carpet [coastal] to me.....cheers solar 17 [Baden]....ps keep in mind these can come in "cracker" hypo colours just north of Brisbane to green and yellow just sth [Mt. Tamborine].....

Darwin carpet python. Great snake for beginners like myself.

i dont mind mate thanks for the help. listen if it is a Darwins like i was told by the shop so hatchlings are born with a pattern that changes?

def looks like a coastal to me ive added a pic of my normal when he was a little younger and my hypo to give u an idea

 

[PimmsPythons]

its a coastal,certainly not a darwin

 

[reptilian1924]

lt sure is a coastal carpet Python from Queensland Coastal Region, not a northwest carpet python from Darwin NT.

 

[WomaPythons]

[Silverbrew]

Coastal, its the spitting image for my brisbane coastal girl.when she was a hatchy - hope you got a big cage lined up for when she grows........ and if its a brissie IT WILL

 

[ozziepythons]

I've seen hundreds of coastals that look just like this specimen and even a few at work look the very same, it couldn't be anything else.
