Thanks I've had a jungle carpet for about 10 years not too clued up on the others its very skinny but eating well so should hopefully be a nice new addition

Actually, I think it may be a Julatten Jungle... both very similar in terms of patterns but I think I'm leaning towards the Julatten. How big is it, and how old?

 

[rossgeddes]

Been told it's 2 years old and probably about just over 1m long don't think it's been looked after very well it was very thin and covered in mites. Looking at google images it does look more like the Julatten jungle I'll try get some better photos

Looks like a SA MD, with the silver very prominent.

Imo it looks nothing like my MDs hahaaa (I mean head and pattern wise)

Looks more like the rescue coastal x I got a few months again

I would lean towards jungle x coastal

BUT
the correct answer here is a Carpet Python without having bred it ourselves all we can do is guess the species for all we know it could be a jag sib and there for have a very mixed heritage
So It's a Carpet Python

Very true, Kittycat. Good call.

Looks like I might be mistaken on my MD call.

Absolutely, probably a nice pet carpet python, no way of knowing its pedigree, nothing like my Julattens but probably part jungle.

 

[SpottedPythons]

I agree the above, probably has jungle blood but most likely an intergrade.

In the very first pic, the nasal scale definitely indicates a Murray Darling. However, as mentioned, there is almost no possibility to know a Carpet's pedigree unless you buy from a seller who breeds locality specific Pythons.

?????

Murray Darlings don't have a posterior split of the nasal scale as is clearly visible in that pic.

I believe it's Murray Darling Carpet
