Striped Diamond holdbacks

[Retic]

Thanks everyone and I am thanking you for the breeder as well. I hope in a season or two we can bothe be producing a few nice full stripes.
Here's another from the same clutch to show the variation.

lol, maybe. The strange thing is, I really don't like the look of striped coastals or jungles usually, and diamonds really aren't up on my list, so for me to appreciate a striped diamond is quite surprising

I'll 2nd that. The only stripes i have liked in any species so far has been Zobo's striped coastals, just because of how clean the stripe is, and the tiger stripes in the US. But i like what i am seeing atm in these fellas.

Only animal i like with stripes is a tiger. Does nowt for me.:|

 

[Retic]

That's fair enough, no animal appeals to everyone.

Yeh well,the average person can see that they are hybrids its just there to see.

That's what makes the average person average, those of us in the know, know that they are pure and think it's a great laugh when all the experts argue that they aren't

 

[Renagade]

cool, i might start calling my lil intergrade a diamond... and any one who disagrees AVERAGE ha hah aha. i'm with you zulu. ha ha it's still funny.

Hey mate,

The other day I caught three Eastern Browns in one morning. I catch them quite regularly, and have found them in 4 different states (QLD, NSW, Vic and SA). I'd say that I have caught around 500, which is a pretty conservative number. I have seen many different colourations, all shades of brown, orange, red, black and grey, some with bands, some with spots and some with patternless ventrals. I've seen them less than 20cm long and over 230cm long. But the other day, for the very first time, I found one that was yellow. Not a yellowish brown, but yellow like the Simpsons. Yellow like this smiley face infact

Snakes are variable, especially Morelia. Just because something doesn't fit into the mould, doesn't mean it's not pure. And just because something DOES fit the mould, doesn't mean it's pure! All we can go off is the credibility of the breeder, and I doubt anybody here is game enough to discredit somebody like Dan. They are pure Gosford form Diamond Pythons, they were incubated normally, and half hatched striped, half hatched normal (but very pretty).

Nice intergrades mate! haha


So how would you define a Diamond python then Jonno, how would you define an Intergrade? Whats the difference.

 

[Jonno from ERD]

Are we talking with regards to captive bred reptiles, or wild caught animals?

 

[Renagade]

ha ha ha aahha!!!

 

[Jonno from ERD]

So what would you ID these as?
