Eastern carpet? You mean coastal carpet?

 

[jamesbecker]

coastal carpet.

also why would you ask if its a jungle if you are looking to buy one? surely you would know what a jungle looks like?

 

[seksyjinke]

im not sure how big it is.. as i took the picture at night and it flashed....its bigger than my spotted.... so im guessing aorund 70+ cm maybe

Give it time to grow, it won't look hypo when it matures

That looks like a juvenile coastal/eastern not hypo

 

[seksyjinke]

im so suprised.. this is the first wild snake i'd ever seen... and it was on my porch >.<! kinda scary but also pretty cool

A jungle looks different and has the sub species name of cheynii as opposed to mcdowelli.

And a hypo is a snake that lacks alot of black pigment which alot of young coastal
carpets & darwin carpets do at a young age.

thx for the clear explaination

Apparently though there are intergrades for example port macs or platinum spotteds though if you purposely breed these intergrades you will have to put your flame suit on as its is taboo in private collections. unless you have some stature in the hobby.

In cairns i have found a gravid female coastal at smithfield high school and jungles less than a kilometer away try tell me there arnt intergrades

Bring thy flames
