What about Jungle pythons? We don't have any jungles in Australia quote]

er! since when?
As you say, its just a name and we have areas that the name jungle applies to and is used.

What about Jungle pythons? We don't have any jungles in Australia so I guess that name is wrong too.

If you've ever seen or get he chance to visit some parts of Nth Qld you'll see we definitely have jungles in Australia ,we just call them tropical rainforests,they are one in the same and that's why jungles were given their name as they originate mainly from rainforest"jungles".

I've seen coastals that look exactly like Brisbane coastals in Nth Qld where you also get Proserpine carpets and there's plenty of variation so unless you know for sure your coastal came or originated from the Brisbane area it's pretty hard to tell just from a picture but i would definitely say that it's a coastal...

The point Greebs was making is that they aren't called jungles here in Australia even thought they are the same thing. In other words it is just a name. As for the rest of you talking about "You can't call it that because of blah blah blah" If you read it properly you would see that I said "GENERALLY" Yes there will always be colour variants of all species and that is one of the many great things about these snakes ( or is that Pythons? lol) but as I said Colours are GENERALLY indicative of a certain area. Browns said I've seen coastals that look exactly like Brisbane coastals in Nth Qld where you also get Proserpine carpets, Isn't this statement the same thing? Proserpines?

Either way, I love them black and gold Rainforest Pythons. :wink:

rlmfao Greebs.

Ah well no big deal but many people i know go bush and into what they call the jungle and go a bit troppo for a while...

I'm not going blah blah blah dude,i'm just telling it how it is...you can't just look at a coastal and say that's from Brisbane area,Townsville,Proserpine etc unless you know for sure the parentage origintaes from those areas.Proserpines are completely different than a Brisbane carpet and as you say is just a variation or different locality coastal but i could pretty well guess a Proserpine carpet as they are known in the hobby from a Brisbane carpet.Proserpines is just a name given to one variation from that general area but one would think that any carpet from the same area would be called a Proserpine carpet but that isn't how they are recognised in the hobby is what i'm saying so ,no,to me it isn't the same thing!!!

Thank you Browns, thats all I was trying to say!

Its funny how I've lived in North Queensland for many years and have seen hunderds of carpets in the wild and none of them to me look exactly like Brisbane carpets. Like it or hate it the simple facts are that you do get area specific morphs occurring and becoming somewhat identifiable to that location. I challange any body to show me a carpet python from the mid lower area of the palmerston that look like a Brisbane. You do find carpets looking more like the ones found from Townsville in the dry wood country strips of coast between the rain forest lined rivers draining from the tablelands. Some of these for obvious reasons look more like a cross between the two. And just to confuse people further I have found the ocassional silver phase jungle in this area that has produced black and gold babies.

 

[BROWNS]

No wukkas man!

 

[BROWNS]

You're talking further north than i am Dave and jungle coastal intergrade country. You couldn't be guaranteed to answer the challenge you make unless you were told it was a wild caught specimen,with captive bred stuff these days who knows what's what with half of the caarpets around.

When you say silver phase jungles are you talking black and whites or open forest form or just faded black and golds or ones that never coloured up that produced black and gold offspring?

 

[PilbaraPythons]

No Browns I am talking about a strange phase of jungle found in the Jubilee grove area of Innisfail. It isn't a faded or old jungle its just a freak. And there are a few genuine Brissy carpets loose in this area thanks to a few careless keepers that I shall not name.
