Re: Carpet Python guessing game
I was thinking the same (I know I'm wrong, because I am new to carpets and they are pretty impossible to guess) but the way it is perched suggests GTP or ETB...and the #3 pic was based on coloring in my guess...but any combo can throw any colors and patterns...I have seen pics of IJ's that look jungle, etc...

Good guesses, but to point it out there, pretty much all carpets perch like that. Coloring is a bit iffy with jungles/coastals. Since many carpets go through ontogenesis(change in coloring with age), you will find many jungles that are grey/white/brown as babies and turn neon yellow as adults.

Re: Carpet Python guessing game
What a fun game! They all look like some variation of JCPs to me. #2 and #4 are perhaps of the zebra variety? I'm fairly new to my interest in carpets as well. But I'd really like to own number 2 or 4 lol.

#2 is zebra for sure, and #4 is not zebra. You owned one lol. Can you guess what subspecies they are?

Re: Carpet Python guessing game
This would be like trying to sex them from the pics. Very difficult if not impossible other than the obvious Zebra BUT!! The asymmetrical head pattern on #5 is very cool.

Yup that's the point I'm trying to make with this thread. I just see people posting their snakes all the time asking " What kind of carpet is this?".

I guess it's the word that makes people less appreciative of them. A better word would be wild-type because after a while, a new morph becomes "normal" when everyone has one.

Re: Carpet Python guessing game
so true  there is so much variation in the "normals" of any species that all of them are beautiful...not enough appreciation for the origins of the animals...sorry..done hijacking! carry on, I am anxious to see these results!
