Hi people
I dont wanna seem like an Idiot
BUT
Can anybody clear up a hazy point for me ??
I paid for a Coastal and have been told I have a Jungle
How do I tell the dif
?????????????????
 
I don't think many people would sell a jungle and call it a coastal?
 
I wonder about that too. How do you tell the difference between a jungle and a coastal? Can we see a pic Waterdragon?
 
Thanx

Thanx for the replies Here is a pic ???
I hope it is clear enough My picture skills are not great

I'd have to go with diamond x jungle.
 
Regardless of what it is, it's a nice snake. Unless you plan to breed it, then it's not really necessary to know exactly what it is.
 
they arent mine. i just got them off the web to show the difference.
PS. my coastal looks better than the one above but i couldnt find my camera

Snakeaholic, I would love to see it if you think yours looks better than that pic you have taken from the web! Why don't you shoot a quick pic with your camera phone, most people have them! Or wouldn't you have a pic of your beauty, on your computer?? It would be great to see, as I have yet to see a coastal here as good as a US Tiger. It would be awesome if they were being bred to that calibre here :)

That is a Tiger carpet, one of the most popular carpet morphs overseas, and they are DAMN hot! And they are certainaly a long way from the looks of a typical coastal carpet!! Although relating to this thread if you want to be technical, it has recently been heavily suggested on a major US forum, that the Tiger coastals were originally to have had Atherton (Jungle) blood in them! Thus making them also partly jungles even though they have been believed to be a pure carpet morph for many years.

Back to the purpose of the thread, I think it looks like a coastal x jungle, but as long as you are happy with it then that's all that matters, that is unless you intend on breeding from it. ;)

S.P.
 
Definately a Diamond x jungle. Hope you didnt pay more than $150 for it. These seem to be big with the pet shops. Well here in Melbourne anyway.;);)
