A rare sighting.

[Frog1974]

Went for a drive yesterday for a looky see and all the usual stuff, thorny devils, sand goannas and beardies. Then something I have never seen before and didn't even think they existed. Hawk eye G/F spotted the ultra rare Southern middle back ranges carpet python.View attachment 268316View attachment 268317View attachment 268318

Most likely imbricata south west carpet. Has a home in the gammon ranges sa. Possibly this?

Looks a bit like this, this is Gary my Gammon Ranges carpet male.

This was sighted near Kimba in the middleback ranges, not at all close to the Gammon ranges.

G'day Frogs,

I know the Middlebacks well and have seen most species that it has to offer...apart from Carpets. Very keen to see the photos but they don't seem to be working? Have you seen the Stimsons that are close by? Bardicks?

 

[Cold-B-Hearts]

i cant see the photos either
