Irain Jaya or Jungle ?!?!

[SnakeLady1990]

I am very new to carpets...I recently aquired what was 'marked as a Jungle Carpet Python kind of 'by accident'. Well, we (we being my boyfriend and I) have wanted some kind of carpet python for awhile but didn't plan on getting one so soon. We went to an expo and my friend won a coupon for one of the tables in a raffle. $25 off almost everything.

She didn't want anything there as she didn't have the money to cover the rest of the price so she just gave us the coupon...The only thing I had money for was one of thier 2 carpet female's. (They were only $65/each). Everything else there was $300 or more and mostly ball python morphs.

Both girls were marked as 'Jungle Carpet Pythons' but a lot of people are saying she looks like she is Irain Jaya or a cross of the two. Soooo...people on bp.net have helped me plenty of times with my ball pythons issues so I have now brought another >I love this place<

Here she is:

looks more IJ to me. maybe some of the better carpet people can chime in. for reference, here is a picture of my IJ. the patterns and colors are similar.

Well, I've been looking at photos all day and found this site...

And she does look a lot more like the IJ...but the IJ's seem to have less yellow? Will she looser her color a bit more as she grows?

I'd say IJ or IJ cross. the yellow is so variable but yeah, at that age, they definitely can have yellow/gold.

Looks to be an IJ. I have 2 almost full grown and one is a darker color and the other is a real light color. They will all vary and usually carpets will lighten up as they get older, except for a few that will darken like my male has. Even a few muddy looking Jungles will still be noticable yellow and not a tan/cream color.
