I didn't even think that we couldn't keep them in Vic. Wouldnt they just be classified as a carpet?

You can't, and they are not classified as a carpet.

 

[m.punja]

ok thanks hazz

thats like saying GTP are classed as carpets!

You can't, and they are not classified as a carpet.

How can you say that aren't a carpet? They are Morelia Carinata. Its name suggests it is a carpet python, and the GTP too. They are Morelia Viridis. Adds more beauty to the already beautiful Morelia family.

I think they are looking at re-clasifying both thr RSP and GTP

they are not carpet pythons!

carpets, RSP's, GTP's, and classed in the same genus "MORELIA".

carpet pythons are MORELIA SPILOTA, RSP's are MORELIA CARINATA, GTP's are MORELIA VIRIDIS.

thats how i can say RSP's (morelia carinata) and GTP's (morelia viridis) are not carpets (morelia spilota).

 

[MoreliaMatt]

the "spilota" denotes "carpet"

 

[whiteyluvsrum]

yes, thats what i was trying to say.

the wrong wording was used, it should of been "RSP's are classified in the morelia genus." they are not classified as "carpets".

 

[MoreliaMatt]

yes, thats what i was trying to say.

i know!

i was just simplifying! hehe

Keep your pants on, I was just asking a valid question.

Thanks Matt. Some of us need things explained in simplified language
