Wow! That's some red on that lil pipper, and a lot of blushing too, it looks like. What are the parents?

Can't say yet...I'll post more pics when it's out of the egg. Something special! ;)

K~

I was afraid you were going to say that :P I can see it's something special and possibly unique right off the bat! Can't wait for more pics. :)

I feel extremely retarded asking this.. but what is that? It's purdy whatever it is.

Yep, I'm goin' "hmmm" over here. Very nice, such a tiny baby.

it has a nice jungle patern to it! and to me sort of an angolan look?

This is a hybrid between a Woma (Aspidites ramsayi) and an Irian Jaya carpet python (Morelia spilota variegata).

Up until now, very few people have thought that a cross between two genera so distantly related was even remotely possible.

Kinda crazy!

Wow! And not many people would have the snakes to spare to experiment, either. Is there more to the clutch, I hope? When should I look for him to arrive? ;)

Yes! I will post additional pics once they've all hatched so we can see the variation within the clutch.

Wow, that's cool. I thought the markings looked woma-ish, but the head was definitely not woma. Then I thought coastal carpet, but didn't look like that either. I never would have guessed!

A Woya huh?
The little bit is just adorible K
Great shots, good luck

I think it's been officialy dubbed A "Coma". "Wompet" would have been interesting though :P
