These are pics I took about 20 years ago, so they are not digital.... all the photos were scanned and loaded onto the pc. So I appologize if the quality sucks a little....

Adult jungle carpet.... 4 1/2 to 5ft.... they don't get bigger. Bobby Bredl will tell you the same thing, they max out around 5ft to 5 1/2.

Hope you enjoyed the pics.... thanks for peaking!

Those are amazing pictures. I would be willing to look at as many of those as you can post. I would also be very interested to hear more about what it was like living there.

Very cool Scott, that diamond over the creek line is awesome!

Those are some great pics Scott. Nice enclosure for the diamonds you found. Keep on posting pics.

I'll see what I can find..... just gotta find the right disk.....

Thats really cool, thanks for posting

Coming from a Carpet and Monitor guy, those pics are awesome!!!!!!!!

Those diamonds are really nice...... That large female looked as though she is either starving or just dropped a pile of eggs somewhere. The one from the creek line is awesome, nice rosettes and yellows...

Any more pics of the Lace's?

Thanks

Rob

Wow Scott - Cool stuff...The Diamonds were too cool...Are Diamonds pretty common over in OZ? Interesting Jungle too - Very interesting...

The Diamonds are the only python in their geographical region (New South Wales Central coast has the best looking ones - which is where I grew up), they are a cooler climate python. Not that it doesn't get hot, but the winters are cooler for them then what the other species of pythons deal with. Their distribution does of course over lap with carpets.... where you see an intergrade species from the two cross breeding..... naturally!

One day, there will not be any diamond pythons because of this natural intergrade.... but that's how mother nature intended it. Diamonds don't all look the same, color variation occurs depending on the area you find them.

LOL... BT needs to get a 30 yr old SLR camera then....

No prob, I have some lizard pics and monitors.... just sifting through disks and I'll post them when I find them.

Hell yea Scott what an awesome post! Man, I love seeing those carpets and the diamonds are the cats-ass..

I've got a buddy thats working with a group of pure diamonds and they looks exactly the same as those posted.. That first carpet is really interesting..

Keep em coming.

:yessir:

Those look very familiar and will be even sweeter once we go there and do some herping together & get new pics

Really nice pic's Thanks for sharing :)

Nice pics Scott.! I'm with everyone else, find that disk!! I want to see some more of your finds.

Alrighty then, I'll work on that today!
