What kind of carpets are these, a guy near me is selling the pair for 300

The one on the right possibly Ij?

bushsnake · 02-12-12, 10:28 AM

the one on the left is coastal...so i guess they are both coastals

Look like some kind of jungle cross to me. But without knowing exactly what the parents are, you really can't say what kind of carpets they are due to all the cross breeding thats been done with carpets.

The one on the left looks coastal and the one on the right looks like an IJ but niether look "pure" so to speak. Very tough to know without the parents as stated above but nowadays even that might not be enough. They have been cross bred like mad so getting a pure IJ or pure jungle can be tough. IMHO looking at them I would offer less unless $300 included their viv/s. Around here they are worth $100-175 depending on how they look.
Hope this helps. There are better informed carpet owners than me on here that I am sure will chime in any time now.

i personally wouldn't buy them,as they look like they have mixed genetics

do you have a better picture of the one on the left ?

the left one looks to have a more interesting pattern,but its hard to tell if that means anything from the picture

being honest they're not good looking carpets

imo when buying carpets,its always best to get the highest quality examples available,that suits your budget

if i had to guess i'd say they're siblings from a morph breeding project,or at best they are both jungles

all that said,it's impossible to know without any lineage on them though pal

Are you buying them to breed? I don't understand if you are buying them for pets why genetics matters so much, they are animals in need of a home. Just saying, they don't look like they are being taken care of really well and I would give them a home if I could.

Look like mutts to me.

alessia55 · 02-12-12, 06:47 PM

If you're looking to get them as pets with no intention to breed, I don't think it matters if they're pure or not *shrugs*

Jenn_06 · 02-12-12, 06:55 PM

well i talk to my husband and he said no because we might have babies this year from our boa and BP and need to save the money for heat and food.

Yeah, good thinking. Those babies are definitely a priority
