Re: Well I did it, not what I planned on, but a carpet none the less :)
As Aaron said, she's definitely not a scrub python- they have distinct head shapes and are usually golden in color and aggressive. That is most likely a mutt carpet- jungle, or coastal or some mix of them. It's definitely not a diamond at all. I wouldn't think there's even any diamond blood in it, but a low % of diamond, such as if it was a 75% jungle/25% diamond, would not look much like a diamond. At any rate, for $120, you definitely didn't pay too much. So enjoy your new carpet buddy- no matter how colorful or dull looking, they are awesome snakes with tons of personality. She looks a lot like my big mutt, Voodoo. He's a sweet big boy and one of my favorites.

Yeah, based on that link I say she looks alot like a Coastal.~ Regardless, though, she's still gorgeous c:

Really nice Coastal. I am with Willow it has no Diamond, but still a sweet looking snake. If it was a Diamond or had Diamond in it you would have been paying a lot more. Real Diamond start out at $700.00 on up. It sucks when people are misleading just to get a sale.

Thanks everyone!
As long as she's a carpet I'm not concerned, if I HAD to have a colorful snake, I would have waited, I just couldn't put her down after holding her for an hour!

Haha Max, you sound like me. If I hold something, it's a done deal. It's going to come home with me. I'm a huge sucker. At shows anymore, I just refuse to hold animals. lol.

Nah, it's not too bad, it just took me off guard that her poop was as large as my parents Australian Shepard haha.
I don't even want to think about what comes out of a 120lb 16 footer!

Re: Well I did it, not what I planned on, but a carpet none the less :)
...and it's also why I rehomed that snake. I was caring for it for a friend, who turned out not to be able to take it back. Big Boy was too much for me to handle on my own, so he was turned over to a breeder I know who has years of experience with the giants. He is doing really well.

Re: Well I did it, not what I planned on, but a carpet none the less :)
I would say that it is a coastal for sure, but there could be some influence of other carpets in her. I never rule it out as over there the hybrid game has been going for a while and there would definetely be some hybrid offspring sold as pure when they arent at all.
