Dumeril Pied???

[crackerjack]

Has anyone heard of or ever seen a Pied Dumeril? I went and looked at a 2 1/2 y/o female today, and noticed something one her. Under her neck she has a white mark about the size of a quarter. Plus there are 3-4 scales out side of that, that are white as well. She has always eaten prekilled, since she was born, and it does not look like a scar, or a burn.
I went a head and put a deposit on her and I will pick her up tomorrow, so I will get a photo of it and put it up for everyone to see.
i can not find Pied or Albino Dumeril any where on the net, so I was wondering if you have even heard of one???? or if one actually existed.

Never heard of anything but hypo dumerils. It would be pretty cool to prove out though. Keep us posted.

Both of my dums have the white spot under the chin.. it's just a species trait as far as I can see.. I got mine from totally different sources.

also almost all Morelia have the spot on their necks/chins.

Really? I should look and see if my carpets have it. I haven't looked under there on them.. they're kinda funny about their heads. lol

The last few weeks i've been preparing prekilled specimens to be skeletonized, and M. spilota, and M. viridis (so far about 10 total) and they have that a white blotch under their chins. Let me know if it was these ones for some reason or more than likely all of them. I know the dumeril's i had also had a throat patch as well.

Yeah that throat patch thing is normal for dumerils they all have it , it would be more strange if you came across a dum that didnt

gorgeus dum btw

That's exactly how my dums look too.

Mike I just checked my female JCP and she does not have a white patch.
