Just having a look through my python books ( for stuff you just cant get on APS ) :rolleyes:

and was wondering ----Pythons A Complete Owners Manual , Has a pic on the front cover that is labelled Diamond Carpet Intergrade . I am thinking that this looks more like my jungle than anything else

It is an American publication .
 
He is awesome Joemal, thanks for the update. Looks almost identical to his mum. :)
 
Whats an intergrade

my understanding is it is where snakes of over lapping localities breed together i.e. a diamond with a coastal

That's right spyder. They have become a sub-species that have adapted to living between the borders of two species where those species may struggle or not be found. Many ppl use the term intergrade to describe the coastal and diamond cross breeding, which seem to be the most common about, but any species can intergrade - murray darlings would meet the coastals or even diamonds, somewhere, and surely there are intergrades of those around, just nobody has researched them to know where they are, or just haven't spoken about them.

But for you to cross a diamond and coastal doesn't make the offspring intergrades. Those babies may not survive in the wild whereas their wild cousins will be more adapted because that is where they have evolved.
thats actually incorrect , a common misconception but wrong none the less

this thread should help you guys clear up what an intergrade actually is

that's an awful strange looking intergrade :)
awesome snake by the way

Not all intergrades look like a cross between a diamond and coastal. There are many intergrade zones around Australia.
