Thanks. I've been do a lot of research and things are classed and reclassed frequently. There is a study that shows DNA of coastal and jungle carpet pythons is the same and one could consider the jungle a "locality" of coastal. It could also explain why there are some very large jungle carpets out there. Almost everything, note I said almost, in the US has about 30 years of crossing and diluting going on. Looking at some of the Aussie carpet pictures and forums, you can see a lot of differences. I may end up with a giant, or a very colorful, small snake. It's sort of fun not really knowing. Yet I do know the mother is 9.5 feet long.
