Re: please HELP! identify my snake
Defo a carpet, i think there could be some irian jaya and some jungle in him but am certainly not an expert!

Re: please HELP! identify my snake
it looks like it has a lot of irian jaya influence,it may even be a pure irian jaya carpet python
with carpets the only way to know for sure is to ask the guy who bred it
its a very nice looking carpet regardless of its make up
cheers shaun

Re: please HELP! identify my snake
Looks like a Irain Jaya to me, but it's hard to tell for sure. If you could get it in some better lighting would help.

Re: please HELP! identify my snake
Definitely irian jayas blood. Could be other stuff in there but not a high percentage. Some jag sibs have crazy patterns though.

Re: please HELP! identify my snake
kill it, stick it in a frozen bag, freeze it.
please don't feed it live anymore if possible.
thanks for rescuing that beauty.

Re: please HELP! identify my snake
I concur that it's all Irian Jaya.
As for feeding, IJs are funny a lot of the time. I'd have to say that 7/10 that I know are finicky eaters, but I'd certainly try dead food before anything else. If it gets hungry enough, chances are that it'll eat if it's happy with it's conditions.
I see a lot of people trying all kinds of tricks to get their IJs to eat, but if you start doing unusual things like braining or scenting, you'll likely end up always have to do it, so in my opinion it's best to get the snake to bend to your will, not the other way around. It's not always possible, but it's certainly worth the effort to try

Re: please HELP! identify my snake
It looks to be pure Irian Jaya to me too.
