Hey, This is my Female

[SnakeWrangler]

Hey everyone,

This is my female coastal, this is the best pic I can get of her at them moment.

 

[moosenoose]

How old & what size? This is your new one is it?

 

[SnakeWrangler]

Sorry I should have said this, she was hatched in January and is about 50cms. Her colors are completely different to my male (will put him up soon) I was actually worried that she might be a cross? And they are my new and first snakes.

:lol: :lol: Lovely!! :lol: :lol: Enjoy the weekend with them. Saturday is snake day for me :mrgreen:

 

[SnakeWrangler]

I know, I think they are beautiful, the male totally stuffed himself yesterday on 2 fuzzy mice and is out of commission for a few days, that is why I can't get the photo yet. Hopefully the female will eat today, I am going to buy her a pink rat in about 10 minutes.

Happy days for you tomorrow then.

it's a carpet thats for sure but not a pure coastal
i could be wrong
congrats anyway!!!!

 

[SnakeWrangler]

Do you think it could be crossed with a Diamond or something? She looks similar to some young diamonds I have seen on this board. I am not going to be happy if she is definately not a pure coastal, I want pure coastals not crossed stuff.

 

[SnakeWrangler]

Well here is a comparison, my female on the top and a diamond python from the photo gallery (vat69) on the bottom. Can anyone else see the great deal of similarity between these two snakes, as a note my photo is extra dark, her colors are much lighter, I will get a better picture of her in better light later when I try and feed her.

I contacted Tim from URS and he says that he is sure she is a pure coastal and I am inclined to think he would know what he is talking about but this picutre is also very convincing to me.

 

[SnakeWrangler]

Damn attachments....

 

[snakehunter]

mate juvenile diamonds look very similar to juvenile carpets, its not until they get older do they begin to 'look like diamonds'

 

[SnakeWrangler]

Well I got two and they are both very different, I am sure that this is not uncommon but they seem widely different considering there is a good chance they are from the same parents, I cannot get a photo of the male yet as he is still busy digesting his food but once he is done I will get a picture of him up here.

Here are a couple of better pictures showing her color better.

looks like a coastal to me but i have had little to do with coastals, but very nice looking there mate congrats on a beautiful snake.

 

[Springherp]

If you bought the snake from Tim Mensforth there is little to no chance that it is a hybrid. I would not worry at all.

 

[SnakeWrangler]

I was inclined to believe Tim from the start, what I thought could have happended was that he sent me a diamond python by mistake. I mean if he did, I just saved myself a bit cash on the price of a diamond, however if it turns out to be one I do not have the setup to properly care for it, I don't want it to die from improper care.

Any ideas on how to find out for sure if it is one? Or are you all convinced that it is really a Coastal.

 

[Ricko]

im convinced personally that its a coastal but i have been wrong before and will be again but i think its a coastal. how are they going mate all well?

 

[Greebo]

FOR GOTT SAKE IT'S A COASTAL ALRIGHT!!

 

[Bendragon]

Yup, the closest its been to a Jungle or a Diamond was perhaps it was in the same room.

 

[SnakeWrangler]

Woah, Greebo you're a really emotional person aren't you. You must be one of those people that has forgotten what it is like to be a newbie! My ears are still ringing from the shouting!!

Anyway I have decided to just believe it is a coastal, if by any chance it grows into something else I'll just have to live with it and get another coastal for breeding.

Thanks for your input guys.

 

[Blue_Streak]

Go greebo standin up for the newbs

And if u want my uneducated and worthless oppinion i say its a german shepherd but im only 70% sure, so dont take my word for it

 

[angelrose]
