Whenever a captive population is established, you get breeders that specialize in odd colored or shaped animals and that is happening now with coastals (and has been happening for years with Jungles). Don't be surprised if in a couple of years we start getting Aussie jags.Bryony said:

Fuscuss is dead right there.
Now that these albino carpets have been bred they will be the start to Aussie Jags or designer snakes in my opinion.It will be very interesting to see what sort of animals will be bred in the next 2-10 years.The mind boggles..........
Some of the "jaguar carpets" are spectacular looking snakes. I have a carpet which looks quite like the 'tiger carpet' morph (it hatched out in a clutch I bred a couple of seasons ago from normally patterned parents and I kept it), I hadn't heard of anyone breeding them. I've seen photos of the same pattern in bredli, nice looking snakes. I'm still not really into the unnatural morphs though.

What they call tiger carpets over there are just like our carpets with dorsal and lateral stripes that come from some clutches.You usually will get some dorsal striping in any clutch of jungles.
I love the look of most new morhs like the hypo bredli and the albino carpets,also there was a wc pieballed stimsons python which will also be interesting to see what morphs come from that when bred to say a blonde mac or WA nice red stimmie...

Yeah, they seem to pop up in lots of carpet clutches. I've heard lots of debate about the reason for it, most seem to think it's from keeping the clutch cold, but I have trouble with that hypothesis, because if that was it you'd occasionally get whole clutches of them when the eggs are separate and the incubator is cooler than usual. Do you know of anyone trying to breed them together? If so, is it heritable? I'm thinking about buying a striped partner for mine to find out.

Look nice
Actually, it seems to be a dominant trait.
Of course some albino carpets will go US, considering they would likely pay $250,000 or so for a pair, someone will take the risk. Same with the olives when they get established.
