Lovely looking jungle. Mine is roughly the same age/size so if you find out some information that you deem to be useful please share it as I will more than likely find it useful too :)

Nice carpet, doesn't look too aggressive for a hatchy.

Pure coastal?

I really am not sure. She bought it at a pet shop. Maybe someone else will be able to help with that. I have a handling video coming shortly that gives a much better visual. For now, here are a couple of pictures:

In that video, I saw distinct horizontal striping by the neck (I've heard that reffered to as 'particle striping'), this is distinctly a coastal trait. So immediatly I'd believe it has at least SOME coastal influence.

He's also got some nice yellow which hints a bit at jungle being in the mix as well, but that's not 100% safe to assume.

So I'd say you either have a Coastal, or much more likely, you have a jaguar sibling (a snake which does not display the jaguar morph/mutation in a clutch which was bred for jags and contains multiple localities)

Thanks for the input! Being a Colubrid guy, I am a novice at best with these guys.

You've got a nice snake there that you're snake sitting ;)
