[gunny]

[andyscott]

That is one of the best Coastals Ive seen.

 

[Snake_Whisperer]

Definately a coastal, and one heckuva magnificent specimen for a wild one!

 

[blakehose]

That is a ridiculously good looking wild Coastal

 

[GTsteve]

That's not wild is it?

 

[Bretsta]

might have escaped from someone's prized collection. looks to good to be wild breed!

 

[shellfisch]

Wish it was in my backyard........

 

[JUNGLEJAGUAR]

That coastle is a stunner

for the record, I didn't completely disagree... just said I've never seen a coastal like it!
It's gorgeous!

Though given the area and the amount of different looking carpets around i'm not all that surprised.

Lol, i take it you are Mr. BF? Welcome aboard!

I'd be interested in hearing from some of the experienced herpers around, I have personally never seen a wild coastal with such near perfect striping in the bush? While i'm sure there is potential there for it to happen, has anyone else seen such a specimen in the wild with patterning that would make Zobo reach for his hook and bag?

 

[1perfectday]

its not even near bushland thats the weird thing

 

[jinjajoe]

Looks like a Bracken Ridge immigrant to me !!!!........ have seen few carpets around North Brizzy & that fella don't fit the id for looks but they certainly reach that size...... with the colouring almost like a striped Bredli !!!

 

[Jonno from ERD]

It's just a Carpet Python...don't underestimate their variability

 

[Tayla152girl]
