I would take it off, but what i'm trying to figure out is what people think of it being just a local or if it might be someones pet. Nobody knows exactly where i picked it up so i should be safe for now. I don't think from where i found it that it would be a members snake. Thanks thoughWow nice carpet. I think you should remove the picture because people might claim it even though its not theirs. First ask if anyones lost a snake or take it to the local snake catchers and see what they say![]()
I think that there is just as nice wild snakes as captive snakes. I think that I have seen another member post a similar wild snake to this one a little while back.It looks far to good to be wild imo, what a stunner of an animal.

I was not commenting on whether or not this snake was wild or captive bred but more commenting on Burnerism's statement about it looking too nice for a wild snake.It was very calm when i picked it up, didn't try to strike just calmed down quickly. Gave my arm a good squeeze, but has settled down in a tub, and as you can see in the photo is not exactly agitated. The photo was only taken 10 mins after i picked it up.

I think some mutations would not happen in the wild. Not sure if my reasoning is correct or not but I would think some mutations like albinos for example usually do not survive in the wild and may not get a chance to cross with other mutations that mat not survive in the wild.Looks like a magnificent example of a pattern morph(very much like a caramel coastal in my opinion) occurring in a wild animal. Remember, the mutations you see in captivity were all from animals that were wild at some point generations back. What would ever give people the idea that captive mutations can't happen in the wild as well?

Not sure that you are getting the point that I am trying to make.I never said anything about survival, just of the fact that they happen naturally just as easily.
Albino's occur all the time in nature, but yeah because of the type of mutation it is, survival rates are extremely low. something like in the photo, the mutation doesn't really effect survivability though...

My point was that there would be a slim chance that some morphs would actually happen in the wild. For example the sunglow morph, this is created by crossing an albino with a caramel. Both of these morphs may occur in the wild but the chances that they grow to breeding age is slim let alone them coming into contact at breeding time to make the cross. Nothing is impossible but I would imagine the chances of this happening would be less than you winning the lotto. This is why I brought into the scenario the fact of survival, I was not insinuating that you said they had to survive but some morphs are reliant on other morphs surviving to produce them. I never said or mentioned that the colour of the python in question could not or would not happen or survive in the wild. I have made no comment at all about whether or not the snake is wild or pet. I hope this clears up your misunderstanding of my comment.Name a mutation that couldn't happen in a wild population...
