Gammon Carpets

Heres some pics of my hatchie Gammon Rangers Carpet Pythons. They are found only in South Australia's Flinders Rangers, and there is no real hard evidence of their place in the Morelia species. Some say a natural intergrade of Imbricatas and Inlands, others think they are just Imbricartas and others think they are just inlands.
I really like them, great to handle, pretty rare both in collections and in the wild, and possibilites of different colour morphs in there.
They were bred by the Stones at Southern X Reptiles, so credit to them. Some pics of their father who is owned by SXR.

I really like them myself. An interesting point is that they are very small hatchies compared to both Inlands and Imbricarta.
They have only been around for a few years now and not alot of people have bred them, so there is a whole new possibilities as to what direction they can be taken along. I know some people were starting to work on a high red line, but thats all at the moment.
I like them as they are one of the three carpets that come from my state.
