...and why do you think it's a Coastal? Explain your "guess"...

Could be an integrade, hence the coastal and diamond suggestions...
It is a little south for one tho.

Don't want to picky but it's a sweeping statement - "carpet" does not cover Morelia carinata and M. viridis. IMO they shouldn't be in that genus anyway.

Why do you think that? What are the definitive characteristics that determine what is Morelia?
I am not a taxonomist, so I won't argue my point, I said IMO. The are so different morphologically and even more so in their ecology.

Fair enough Michael.. that was bad on my part.. I myself should have been more specific in saying Morelia spilota sp.

Haha ok fair enough. I wasn't trying to start an argument (you seem to be having a few of those lately
). Was more just curious than anythingNo Morelia is a genus. To be completely correct he would have had to say Morelia spilota sp....which I just noticed he did in his last post (sorry Red-Ink
)You would have known that "carpet" covers the whole Morelia ssp..
Now I am going to be really picky Lizardboii. Morelia ssp. doesn't mean anything - just a wrong way to put it. Morelia spilota group or Morelia spp. would cover all the species on the morelia genus.
Also, whilst Morelia spilota is in italics, sp. or spp. is not.
I know, a smartasse

Here’s a link to show that shows adults and hatchling Diamonds. Initially the young Diamonds have much more of a Carpet colour and pattern about them…

In case some got confused - natural intergrades between Coastal Carpets and Diamonds occur around Coffs Harbour area. A long way north of Newcastle.
