MPR Show Notes
11/13/12
Tonight we will be talking about all the different morphs in the carpet complex.
- The complex is divided into 6 sub species and 2 species.
- Sub-species- Diamond pythons, jungle carpet pythons, coastal carpet pythons, Irian jaya carpet pythons, Inland carpet pythons and Darwin carpet pythons.
- Full species- Southwesterns and bredlis.
Coastal carpet morphs-
- Jag- co-dom with a fatal super form (which is the leucistic). Jags have a reduced pattern and reduces the dark pigment
- Tiger- polygenic trait. Striped carpet.
- Caramel- co-dom with a super form. Reduced black and golden type hue as adults.
- Axanthic- Recessive- no yellow pigment
Jungle carpet morphs-
- Zebra- co-dom with a super form. The zebra has a labyrinth type pattern. The super is a pattern-less yellow carpet.
Irian jaya carpet morphs-
- Granite- recessive and crazy pattern.
- Axanthic- recessive- no yellow pigment.
Darwin carpet morph-
- Albino- recessive
Bredli morphs-
- Striped- recessive- striped pattern along the back.
- Hypo- not 100% on the genetics- lack of black color.
Some others
- Red coastals-
- Ivory jungles-
- Striped jungles
