This is Vlad. We are told he is an Irian Jaya Carpet Python, but we are not too sure if it is.

If anyone knows or can help us to identify if he really is an Irian Jaya Carpet Python that would be great! Thanks :D

Nice snakes!

I googled the Irian Jaya Carpet Python and looked through a couple caresheets / photos. Looks like he's the real deal. All the photos match. The head markings are identical to other pics.

Thanks!!
I forgot to mention that we were told it was a cross between the Irian Jaya and the Jungle. Not sure if this matter any.

Nice, but I believe that the carpet is actualy a jungle carpet: http://www.rainbowboas.com/jungle_carpet.htm

http://www.carpetpython.antaresia.com/ for the IJ carpet

and one more: http://www.herpo.com/pythons/ngcarpet.html

A long time ago I had a pair of youngster Irian Jayas, they where reddish in color

But they are smokin animals

Thanks for the links. Its helps to get a better look. He does look like a Jungle as i look at more pictures.
Love him all the same :D

nice animals :gj:

I'm not 100% sure with the lighting, but your carpet looks more like an Jungle to me. I'm not seeing the slight yellow brown shading you'd see in an IJ. The dark sections also look black instead of brown/tan.

Both good lookin snakes!

It's very possible that it is an Irian Jaya Jungle cross. If you bought it direct from the breeder, stick with the info they gave you.
