Snake Identification...

[gata1]

Yes another snake ID thread but Pretty much the title describes it found a snake in the garage shedding tonight just wondering what sort it is I live in Lismore NSW Far North Coast near Byron Bay (at a guess i would say its a diamond but im just a novice so would like a experienced opinon ) sorry bout bad pics bad camera and taking a photo was pretty much a blind shot as it was behind some poles and timber.

Looks like a coastal to me. I don't believe it is coastal/ diamond intergrade.

It's in Lismore so it's not going to be an 'intergrade' anyway.

Definately Coastal Carpet Python. No Diamond in that. Nice looking snake too!

I may not count as I do not actually own a snake yet....however I have studied them in the bush for quite a few years. I reckon it looks like a coastal carpet(I read about them alot too)

And yes is a vey nice looking snake see it nearly every single time i go into the shed curled up in a box or somwhere i see it and think hmm i wish i bought you off somone would look great in my tank (also first snake to actually see shedding) and was so amazed by how wierd they look see sort of two skins one under another but amazing none the less.

Well the species if obviously Morelia Spilota, carpet python. Whey can't we just leave it at that, no one cares about the subspecies

 

[gata1]

does not really matter was just curios thats all as am interested in this sort of thing.

No you don't. Coastals are highly variable in all localities, and being captive stock it's likely breed from multiple generations of crossing localities.

Coastal carpet. Dunno where the intergrade came from. Doesn't look like it has any diamond in it to me.
