Caylan- gotcha, your post sounded like you were making an opinion on taxonomy based purely on the shape of the snake's head...thanks for rephrasing

Caylan · 02-15-12, 05:57 AM

Moon Pythons are a moluccan scrub crossed with a carpet python. Beautiful snakes as well, but I would much rather a pure barneck or kinghorni myself...

I kinda was vague at first, but even the face alone is enough to tell really, let alone other things. Glad I cleared it up. Caylan.S.

Any Moon Pythons pics?? There are also Coelens, wich are exactly what they sound like. Again I would love a boelens pure far more. They can be found using the search bar at the top of the site on the link I provided. Caylan.S.

I'm not a member and don't want to sign up to view the picture, can you host it yourself and post it here?

Caylan · 02-15-12, 03:37 PM

Sorry, I didn;t realise you have to be a member. I'll see if I can get the picture credited first, then post it. Give me a few... Caylan.S.

Here it is, bred by Mardy, who I understand is in Asia right now, away from his actual collection.

PS looks rather similar to an adult bredli cross if you ask me... didn't realise that until now..

**millertime89** · 02-15-12, 11:06 PM

still can't see it, you'll have to host it yourself for any non-members to see.

BurmeseGuy · 02-19-12, 12:07 AM

I cant see it

Caylan · 02-19-12, 01:49 AM

Google is free... Caylan.S.

KORBIN5895 · 02-19-12, 08:38 AM

That doesn't turn my crank.

That aside
i have no problem with breeding hybrids keeping hybrids or anything else

Not a fan of hybrids, not against them either... each to their own. I don't even own a single "morph" animal and all my animals are locality specific (even my BD) and no hybrid or intergrade for that matter will enter my collection (personal preference/choice).

Now Carpondros

Morelia viridis is a full species

Morelia spilota sp. is the carpet complex Morelia spilota and the spilota, cheynei, variegata, mcdowelli and metcalfei being the sub-pecies.

Therefore a breeding between to full species of animals is a hybrid. A breeding between the carpets is an intergrade.

Morelia bredli, Morelia imbricata, Morelia oenpelliensis, Morelia carinata, Morelia kinghorni and I think?? Morelia amethystina are the other full species of the Morelia family.
