Anyone else know definitively if a Bredli is or is not a Carpet Python???
as far as i can remember,there was scientific explanations from ASH a few years back,where they said Bredl were no longer classed as carpets
maybe some of the ozzy members can point us in the direction of said papers mate

Didn't think you were mate.
I'll tell you my reasons - I'm of the opinion that there is enough diversity within the carpet python complex, that there is no need to breed sub-species together, or even different species for that matter. I know it's the done thing in the hobby these days, but I'm having difficulty moving with the times.
I like things the way nature intended, and find it frustrating that people need to completely mix things up before they're happy.
I suppose it a case of each to their own, but I think we should draw the line at breeding different species together.
i hear what your saying dan,but.....
imo its all the mixed genetics,thats brought Carpet Pythons to where they are today in the hobby,look at whats on offer in Europe,USA,UK,etc
imo it's done a lot of good for Carpet Python breeding at the high quality end of the market,that said the average looking and ugly muts are a bit over whelming
as you know i keep pure and morphs so have no issues with any type of keeper mate
imo in general mixing up Carpet Genetics has done a lot of good regards Carpet Keeping over here mate
re nature intended
sorry mate,i'm never going to understsand people saying what " nature intended ",while all the time they're keeping snakes in little wooden boxes
cheers shaun

Nothing wrong with disliking MUTS Dan........nature all the way
i totally understand your statement if your in Australia.....
if i lived there i also would NOT want the pure wild stock being poluted with mongerals...
but over here in the UK its different imo,as they do wild Morelia no harm
cheers shaun
