Carpet Python vs Boa

[Gio]

After watching a 30 min presentation by Nick Mutton, I went ahead and purchased his The More Complete Carpet Python which should arrive next week. I think it'll answer some of these questions, but I'll ask here too.

On Bredlis, are there bloodlines that accentuate the red? I've browsed through a bunch of what's for sale and see a lot of morphs, but I'm liking what I think are the red normals with the black around the lighter banding.

I like the orange on the Darwin's, but they seem less popular than the Bredlis. Is this a size or specialized care issue? I think I like the Bredlis more too, but curious what the differences are.

Is granite a morph specific to the Papuan Carpets? Are there neurological or other issues with that morph?

I've ruled out the Diamonds as too specialized care. I still like the JCP, but much like the boas, I'm finding myself drawn to the natural locality types (and maybe the granite).

The Afros line is said to be one of the more colorful "Normal" types.

This is the website of the other author of the book you just ordered.

You can see the different lines being bred.

My male is 50% hypo with some other stuff. Nick explained the snake as "one of most perfect and beautiful normals you'll see".

The snake has the traits of a normal, but the beauty of a touch of hypo. My guy still has black on his tail and he does get darker in the winter.


He's not overly light even in the summer.
