My bet is it is a merauke/southern bar neck(although yours doesnt have very prominent neck bars)
Very nice looking animal.
Do you know if he is a cb?
Try to get hold of a copy the below paper, some parts missing and the genetics work a bit unrefined but a very interesting read with some nice descriptions of most scrub pythons.
SYSTEMATICS OF PYTHONS OF THE MORELIA AMETHISTINA COMPLEX (SERPENTES: BOIDAE) WITH THE DESCRIPTION OF THREE NEW SPECIES
Michael B. Harvey1, David G. Barker2, Loren K. Ammerman1, and Paul T. Chippindale1 |
Cheers Jon! I will try to get hold of a copy of that paper. You dont knwo the best place for me to get a copy from do you?
He is a CB05 animal but i dont have any info on the breeder. I picked up 3 more scrubs today, a CB06 pair very similar to the male pictured above (The female is a hypo melanistic though) and a CB07 female Bar Neck who looks very differant. I will try and get some pics posted of the others tomorrow for comparison.

Female (Suposeably a hypo but after seeing the ones at Spitfire Reptiles i am not sure ) She is allot lighter and does appear to have some reduced black pigment though......
Female Bar Neck (In shed so looking a bit shitty)
