Re: Which Carpet Do I Have?
I'm no expert, but I think I can narrow it down for you: It looks most like a coastal to me, but could also be a jungle or jungle cross that's not very yellow.
Edit: Of course, your sig seems to have decided that it's a jungle. Was this a pop quiz rather than a real question? :)
Edit the second: Duh, that line in your sig says 0.1, so that must be a pre-existing female jungle, disregard my first edit. :P
Re: Which Carpet Do I Have?
Definitely looks like a coastal, but i cant really tell if its pure...
Re: Which Carpet Do I Have?
Here's another pic I was able to snap. He is not a very vibrant yellow, more like a cream color actually. He had just shed as well this past week according to the previous owner.
As for my sig, I just added him to the sig, but I'm not sure exactly which species of Jungle Python he is...

It looks to be a coastal but you can never really tell and those things stuck to the side of the tank for temp and humidity are worthless.
Re: Which Carpet Do I Have?
It's a quarentine tank. His new tank is all electronically controlled for humidity and temps. The room is also centrally humidified where I keep my snakes and there is a seperate thermostat and heating source specifically for that room.
Re: Which Carpet Do I Have?
Plenty of jungle carpet pythons don't have the bright bright yellows that are often seen when people are posting their trophy animals.
Re: Which Carpet Do I Have?
I've noticed he likes to hiss alot. He's not aggressive, but he does hiss. I fed him a F/T rat this morning and he took it immediately then spent about an hour hissing at it from different angles before he finally ate the foolish thing. Pretty amusing to watch actually. I've never seen that before and I was surprised at the way he lunged at the rat. My Balls strike, then wrap, but this guy wrapped around the rat so fast it was both scary and amazing. Only after he squeezed the daylights out of it did he finally strike the head repeatedly.
These definitely aren't Balls, that's for sure.
Re: Which Carpet Do I Have?
To me it screams Jungle.
Get better shots of the head scalation, maybe in focus this time, peeps will be able to tell you for sure.
Re: Which Carpet Do I Have?
i agree with pat. it's either a jungle or a high percentage jungle mutt... i see very little coastal in it, if any. the only thing that would lend that it may have coastal in it is that the pattern looks pretty clean, which pure jungles often times are not. usually they will get black and brown dorsal 'smudging'.
remember, it's really just here in the US that jungles bring to mind a bright yellow snake... in australia they are literally just the rain forest dwelling version of a coastal carpet python. some locales are naturally yellow, but most are not.
