Zebra Carpet Python

The Zebra Carpet Python is the very first proven mutation, of the popular Jungle Carpet Python.

The first known Zebra was bred by Paul Harris back in 2003, and only five years later came about the hatching of the first Super-Zebra.

Produced in 2008, the Super Zebra is a patternless morph, which lacks any trace of black pigment. It was the result of a Zebra to Zebra breeding.

Being a Co-Dominant Morph, adding the Zebra as an ingredient to any morph combination will result in an endless supply of Carpet Pattern & Colour Mutations. Imagine the first Super Zebra Albino, an Axantic Super Zebra, or even the look of a Jaguar Zebra. The Zebra Carpet Python represents just one more reason for all Morelia Enthusiasts to be excited!

I think getting lineage information is the best way to tell. I have lineage info on all my carpets so I'd say it's a safe bet to assume they are as pure as you can get without actually going out and getting a carpet from the wild.

over here in the UK the lineage info on Carpets are just about non existant mate

there are very few sources with lineage on their carpets

i wish it was better

Aren't there dedicated breeders of "pure" lines in the UK as well? I know many big name breeders here in the US get some stock from europe from time to time.

there are folk who keep pure, but the lineage info in the UK is usually sketchy at best imo

that said,there are a small amount of private keepers with good lineage info,butusually they are very private people,when it comes to telling where their lines originated,due to being illegally exported back in the day

i know of one elderly gentleman, who has imo the only PURE Normal Darwins in the UK,he has had Darwins for decades,but will not reveal how he aquired them,unless your a very close friend of his...

i have no reason to doubt this gentleman, as he is one of the oldest,well known,and a very respected keeper here in the UK

re Europe
imo there is better lineage info from Europe, as they have legally and some would say sometimes illegally aquired Morelia straight from Australia (i have no proof of illegal activity)

it has been illegal to export reptiles from oz since 1982,so lineage info is hard to work out for the best part imo
