I think its the morph. Like I know A bredlii carpet python is different than a Jungle carpet.. I think.
Ah cool. Cheers you two! Just this website they are for sale on gives no latin names or pictures so wasnt quite sure!
Not true...
a carpet python is a general term... or general species. Morelia spilota
jungle carpets are a subsepecies, not morph. Morelia spilota cheynei
then there are others.. coastals (M.s. mcdowelli) Irian Jayas (M.s. harrisoni) diamond pythons (M.s. spilota) bedli or centralian carpet (M.s.bredli) etc... lots of subspecies of carpet pythons....
only a few morphs i can think of...jaguars being the most popular... granites..... high yellows.. which to my knowledge is more of a line bred trait in jungles rather than an actual morph. And now they have albinos coming out of the darwins (M.s.variagata)

If theres no specific latin names it's probably an intergrade.... carpet purists will whine your ear off about intergrades and polluting pure lines.... if your lookin to breed be careful and do research about subspecies and morphs and make sure you label everything properly so people know if it's an intergrade or not..if your just lookin for a good companion/pet... it doesn't really matter much.
