Striped Diamond holdbacks

[zulu]

re Striped

Ive got a thorough bred racehorse which would interest some of you,beautiful colouration,enter him in the melbourne cup,mates rates,fully vaccinated,absolutely pure animal.

 

[pugsly]

I think Boa gets off on the controversy that follows these animals!! hahaha

If they are going to be around for a while, I would like to see them only be bred with other stripes, or (as already noted) we are going to have every man and his dog who owns a partially striped Port Mac start palming them off as Striped Diamonds. Thats the biggest concern for me..

 

[Retic]

Beautiful snake Matt, I would love some of it's offspring
LOL, no not really Pugs but I do find it interesting.

 

[flavirufus]

Again spectacular animal (obviously) but I just can't call it a Diamond, thats just me.

Just as well you're not a taxonimist

I was of the belief it may have been incubation, but thats since been disproved

Has it?! By Whom?! I wish someone would tell me these things! Hahaha!

Matt

 

[pugsly]

Well the hatchlings Boa has are not the result of incubation. Are you saying your one there WAS the result of it? Would be much easier to believe! haha.

On another note, any luck tracking those f$@%%^! down??

You turn the incubator up to 34c before you go to beddybyes HaHa makes all the little colour run from head to bum pugsley! Why do you have little faith my son,thats no jungle cross in matts picture,thats one of them 100 percentres pugs.Have you seen the giant striped diamond from douglas park,it howls all night long!

I just can't call it a Diamond, thats just me. What makes a 'Diamond' to me is the patterns, the individual rosettes, and to some degree colouring. Just like the literature.

So would you say an unbanded Tiger snake is not a Tiger snake? I'm not taking sides or having a go at you, just curious if your appearance criteria applies to all species, or just diamonds/intergrades.

Nice looking animals ashley, best of luck with your plans for them in the future

Hey matt, good luck with them, iif there's a room on your waiting list can you put my name for a pair please of course

Hi Pugsly,

Zulu - Time to get off the turps mate!!

Big Ryano - No not all species, that would be absurd. Why? Because in a number of other species the variations ARE huge, and have been documented as such. Diamond variation is only just coming out of the woodwork now, why is that?

You tell me how you would classify a Diamond then? Funny how NO ONE wants to have a go at it, why? because they will put all the snakes which have been shown above into the intergrade category.

If you saw a 'pure' Bredli that looked like a Diamond, what would you call it? A DIAMOND.

So what everyone is basically saying is that every book that describes a Diamond python is wrong? Ok, no worries..

 

[Inkslinger]

20 years ago they would have been euthanasiased give me a CLASSIC gosford every time yep agree pretty python but not a Diamond

 

[waruikazi]

Pugs, this is the first time your arguments have ever seemed so silly to me.

Does an albino Darwin look like a darwin carpet to you?

 

[cockney red]

I would say it would only apply to pythons that would be more lucrative if "pure". Tigers dont warrant the smoke screen. Not lucrative enough.

 

[waruikazi]

To me a Diamond python is a carpet python that originated within the area that diamond pythons occurred.

Within species there is always variation, just look at greens (ranging from blue to yellow) tigers (yellow and black to black) brown tree snakes etc! To say these are intergrades or not diamonds because they look different to the norm is absurd.

Actually, quite well said there Pugsly.

 

[cockney red]

Pugs, i think you were being very polite by putting them in the intergrade catagory.

Yeh,its a pathetic grab for dollars,mostly from outside NSW ,its just misrepresentation, more beer!

Yeh too true,they are more like jungle crosses that should be represented as jungle croosses ( hybrids)
