hi peeps, iv heard bout jungles and diamonds interbreeding, is there and other pythons in the wild or captivity that also interbreed like this? cheerd Deejay
in the wild? long story short, any where there is an overlap in the range of 2 or more of the sub species of morilia you wild get hybrids,
and same with the antaresias, any where the ranges that 2 of the species meet there is a hybrid zone.
Why are they called intergrades, and not hybrids?
yet if someone crosses them on purpose there hybrids?
Not trying to start a fight, just trying to understand..
Gotta love these threads aye Brett
Diamonds and carpets are not species, they're sub-species. Some taxonomists question the validity of the species status of maculosa, stimsoni and childreni.
This is where the port macs come in. They are called Natural Intergrades as they occur Naturally. Where diamond x jungles are man made intergrades.
usually someone would have brought popcorn to watch this discussion unfold
They would be natural intergrades not hybrids.

The word intergrade was adopted by herpers for some reason or another but the real meaning is nothing more than; "combine (one thing) with another so that they become a whole".
