Zoe I just told you an hour ago that we call coastals common.
Emily - yes, but Royal Python is also recognized here. When's the last time you heard a coastal being referred to as a common?
I hear that every day Zoe, at home, in the pet shops, in the papers under sales, everyware.
Common coastal carpet snakes are just that, common as dirt!!
They live on the coastal strip and they are common, what more can I say! I can show you one from Cape tribulation and one from Byrion Bay 3000 miles away and you will not know the difference, they are ALL the same. They only change when you talk about different species like bredli's, diamonds, jungles blah blah!
Pick any web page you like about Australian carpets and you should see the term "common coastal" used.
I would not presume to tell a person from a place like Canada about bears or wolves or elk or moose, and yet people from another country tell me what I should call my own native reptiles.
I got my first common coastal over 20 years ago,I now have over 40 carpet snakes, of witch at least 30+ would be common and I love them all. It is not a derogatory term, it is not said with any bias, they are common.
Cheers
Rick.
