I fell in love with a little Murray Darling python today, and I'm now looking for more information about them. The main question I have is, do they often have grey pattern only, or do most have creamy-brown colouring on them as well? Is it possible to tell if a hatchie will grow up to have only black & grey colouring? Cheers.

Have a look at a previous thread of Matts (MoreliaMatt). The MD he has is a stunner I reckon.

awww thanks ray!
she is beautiful.....
she is mainly grey and black, but she does have brown in her too.... i'd say pretty much all of them will have atleast some brown in them.... some more than others obviously.

Aah yes very beautiful Matt, I did have a look at that thread just earlier, I know because I've had that Rhianna song stuck in my head since then "Ella ella eh eh eh" *sigh*
I've been reading up on them and apparently the northern Vic variety have less brown on them...what locale is Ella?

Hmm...found this on the SXR website:
"Currently, we are only breeding the South Australian Murray-Darling form of inland carpet. They differ subtly from the Victorian inland carpets, having a little more colour in their flanks and slightly paler banding."
Don't know if "colour" means black or brown colour.

Reptiles Australia Volume 3, Issue 2 has a ‘beginner’ python buyers guide, the article is written by Simon Stone.
In it he says something along the lines of, the further towards SA you get, the browner the colouring is.
I can’t remember much more than that, and that issue is at work.

I owned a pair of MD's and two hatchling females also. They were very good looking.

This is from Reptiles australia vol3 issue5, "keeping and breeding inland carpet pythons".
"we have found in most of murray river region of VIC that the MD's are generally covered with a dark, almost black pattern contrasted with a lovely silver background. As you move further north into NSW the dark pattern becomes a lighter brown color, and as you move into SA increasing touches of maroon appear in the sides of the snakes the further south you go."
Interesting hey... and i spose that answers ya question
