My CP hatchling

hi mate thats a nice wee carpet python it's nice and light

Cheers Jim.

tidy young carpet...is it a jungle ?

Aye a Jungle Buddy. unsexed. Can anyone sex it? never sexed a snake myself yet.

Nice little carpet - I think I've met it before......where did you pick it up?

Picked it up in Moneymore Karl. was a bargain so couldn't refuse. lovely we snake tho. Sits out in the open. puppy dog tame, great grubber. I would recommend Carpet Pythons to anyone.

very nice.

Good looking Carpet....

Cheers guys. looking forward to watch him/her grow

I knew I recognised that wee carpet.....I bred it last year! Its a Jaguar sibling, and was one of my holdbacks until I sold it with another in Dublin last December.

Here she is as a hatchling last autumn:

Check out the distinctive head and neck markings :)

I had her sexed as a female, she was one of two Jag siblings that I held back as they both had very nice pale striping down the sides of the neck and body. The other of the pair is for sale in Dublin at the moment so I was wondering when and where your girl would turn up!

Are you sure Karl? so its a female Jaguar and not a Jungle?

Its a jag sibling,as far as i know jag siblings tend to be a bit cleaner and more colourfull than none jag sibs

I'm 100% dude - have a look at the head markings, these are like fingerprints in Morelia snakes and no 2 are ever the same. Compare her head markings the photo you posted and the one I posted, they match up 100% - actually pick any marking and you'll find they are identical on the 2 photos. Jag sibs have a distinctive look to them that sets them apart from normal, wild-type Morelia subspecies like Coastals and Jungles.

I keep a photographic record of every hatchling I produce and also keep records of feeding and where each hatchling ends up - so I can pretty much tell you everything about her from September to December last year.

When you breed a Jaguar carpet (a colour and pattern mutation of the Coastal carpet) to a normal Coastal, you get 2 things hatching out - (1) Jaguars and (2) normal-looking Coastals. However, these 'normal' looking Coastals have a distinctive look to them and are also usually more contrasting than normal Coastals (not as much as Jungles though), hence they are called 'Jaguar siblings' to identify them as distinct from normal, wild type Coastals. They don't carry any of the Jag's genes.

That is indeed a clutchmate of Pitviper's carpet python Buddy!

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but again if you look at the head markings......actually, pick any marking on your snake's body, head, neck, anywhere, and compare it to this pic:

Definate match...no worries karl, got it really cheap and more than happy to have this little thumper as a great feeder and real nice handler. That'll be 2 jag sibs here when terry's get over here . Do you remember the sex mate ??

Was talking to Karl via pm Buddy. He said mine is a female and yours is a male. im sure Karl will confirm.

Here's a link to the thread I posted up last year, it shows the parents and the breeding details:

Cheers for the link mate.....always great to be able to trace a snake's lineage.

New question for karl and co now......is it worth trying sib to sib, this one to a caramel jag sib (a caramel jungle diamond jag sib ) ???
