Can anyone identify this fellow?

[petelowery]

We just got this guy... Free. Was told "jungle python" but we smiled sweetly and thought 'Nope!!'

He's 8yo. What is he? I reckon an Inland Python, Gammon River or Murray Darling...

We're new to this site. My sons snake is a Centralian and 1-1/2yo. Very healthy and going fine!

Thanks in advance.
Pete.

Looks to me that it is either a Murray Darling or Gammon, But I am not sure.

 

[nervous]

coastal.

 

[petelowery]

Thnx, so far... It looks like 3-1 for a Coastal.

His name is Kaa BTW, from the Jungle Book, and quite friendly.

what is it licensed as?

 

[Hazordous-Herps]

what is it licensed as?

If the owner doesn't even know what type of sub-species of carpet it is, I wouldn't think they would have it on license. As they would have identified what it was if they did have a license. But it may have been sold as a jungle, and they believed it.

where was it free from ?

we may have a relative !

my point exactly

For all those people who took the time to respond, thank you for your input, guidance and interest. I now declare we are the proud owners of a beautiful "Coastal" Python! (By majority vote)

 

[Colubrid]

It's a coastal. Morelia sp McDowelli.

And regarding the license issue there is an option in the licensing "number list" which is blanket statement "Carpet Python"

It wasn't sold, and we didn't believe it... That's why we asked opinions here.

The point they are making that if it was a legal transaction (gift or sale) then the species should have been on the paper work.

 

[notechistiger]

It's a coastal, and a nice one at that.

Sorry, by "they" I meant the previous owner who you got it from not you.

You'd have to be joking eh? Just as well you're not sure... Bears no resemblance to either of those in any way - is clearly and absolutely a Coastal Carpet from the east coast, could be anywhere from Coffs north...
