New Carpet Python

I wasn't in the market for a new snake but when I held this little girl I had to take her home. Breeder says shes a Diamond x Jungle... I don't know if that's true... I don't really care what she is tho, she is super sweet and I fell in love on the spot! The price was also pretty nice lol

I'm new to carpet pythons and I looked up both and she doesn't like either. She looks like a costal to me but then again I don't know anything about markings and what not. I know you can't tell much as babies cuz they change a bit as they age so we will see!

She looks like she is crossed with IJ to me with the reddish tones in her blushing. could just be the pictures making it look red though.

to me she doesnt look like a diamond X jungle :( i have lots. on a side not carpets are AMAZING to keep!!!

Looks fine for a Diamond crossing to me, very low percentage, but present none the less. It will really only matter when it comes to the final size of the animals since Diamond blood tends to make them grow slightly larger. It's a great looking carpet though and will get a lot nicer with age. Once they hit the 18 month mark they start taking off with colors and personality. Babies have their own style, and some can be sweet or demons, but once they get to 3-4 ft (some people suggest 5'+), they get this puppy dog tame behavior that is quite appealing. Don't worry if it becomes bitey, its all part of the game at fist, and they will generally calm down once out of the cage.

Congrats.

When dealing with crosses the changes in the appearances come from the percentages of each cross in them. This one looks more like a jungle so it probably just has low diamond percentages in it. It still would be a diamond x jungle though. That has to do with how it was bred not how it looks. The reason they don't seem like either is right now carpet hatchlings get their colours as they age more. The more sheds thy get the brighter they will get as they grow. Right now it looks like a jungle hatchling. If a breeder sold it as a diamondxjungle that's is most likely what it is and that's what it looks like.

The only reason I said that is because when I hear diamondxjungle I think of a 50% cross

It wouldn't necessarily be that because it depends on how pure the bloodline was from the parents.

Wow thanks everyone :) she has turned into quite a monster now that she has settled in lol. She is more show then she is bite tho. She has a tendency to just open her mouth and pretend to bite more then she actually does bite haha I love her tho! Sassy girl she is.
