But you said it even yourself "Darwin still called the island forms canaries, even if slightly different from mainland"



They would still be carpets. I own most forms of carpets

and they are all the same species.



On the carpondro front, I bred these this year. gtp x jungle

and it is not that easy. 2 years trying hybrid pythons

and I would guess 1 pair out of 7-8 pairings will produce

offspring. That is a lot of adults to maybe have not breed.



The reverse carpondro pairings, carpet x gtp has been done a couple times, it's just harder to get to work. Size in this pairing is a factor as a large coastal,jungle,diamond would be just to large to bred a small chondro female. So 2-3 year old males that are small or small locale IJ are what is needed.



As with most NEW breeds the F1 to F4 generations are quite important. Records of the parents..ect. would be required.

The huge size, varied color and patterns variations within both carpets and chondros. Will make Carpondros an endless breeding project in my eyes.
