Check out this variegata

[Carpetpythonmorphs]

This is a variegata with an ancestry from the Gregory River region in the Gulf of Carpetaria.
Check out how Hyper-melanistic it is!

Nice. Wild ones that dark aren't actually that uncommon around the Darwin region. What do its belly scales look like? Does it have a solid strip going down its belly?

just looks like a dark picture from this view, you might want to take it outside and get some light on it so we can see the whole snake

Good question Ill find out

As far as I know, plenty of people have Hypermelanistic variegata, however, there are very few if any Gregory River carpets in captivity. Maybe interesting for the locality enthusiasts.

Hangon... where is Gregory River? Is that even in variagata territory?

Gregory River is on the Queensland side of the border in the Gulf, Near Lawn Hill. It flows through Riversleigh Station and Gregory Downs. I didnt think it was carpet habitat but when you go there it is ideal variegata habitat along the river.
