What are the chances that the RPM gene came here from overseas?

RPM's ARE Jags, they are just been sold under a different name here in australia. Its very similar to the GTP situation. people call them RPMs because if they advertise them as jags, they will be admitting to owning/breeding/selling animals that either are, or were breed from illegally imported animals. technically they are exotics because if they are RPM's then they are in fact carrying the DNA from exotic lines, some of which contain irian jaya 'blood', hence are literally exotic crosses.
Why is it being done?? simple... they look great and they have a lot of potential with different morph combinations.
it'll be interesting to see what names are given to granite jayas (a true exotics species) and zebra jungles when they are available.
i was under the impression that irian jaya is genetically the same as our own proserpine carpets? if so, would not nessicarily be classed as containing exotic DNA. also slightly moot considering the allowance of PNG GTP's. (as you have previously stated)

They might be mcdowelli x RPM.
I fail to see how they can be pure mcdowelli .
can i ask something as a newbie...and i feel like a numbnut asking it
what does RPM stand for and what does Jag stand for.....i am presuming these are jungle carpet crosses....sorry I am really confused and I am trying to understand the new trend with snakies
