How do you tell what ssp an animal is, other than color and length? Are there scale counts, different head shapes, etc that differentiate coastals from diamonds from jungles from wp/ijs? I'm just curious.
I have animals from what I consider some of the best breeders of both jungles and ijs in the us. I really do admire the systems that the serious and reputable green tree people have to identify their animals. It makes each snake seem like an individual-- and that is what I really like, as everyone in my collection is an individual with a name, as are their parents. (At least the carpets. You could never ask a big ball breeder to have that. . . but that's a different thread.)
I wouldn't mind some sort of pedigree system in carpets that gave you id numbers, or something, so that instantly you would know about their lineage. Even if the animal was an "intergrade." Many will argue, but it seems to me intergrades are the future of carpets.
This discussion so far has intrigued me. Carpets are interesting in their variability between the ssp. Still, wouldn't it be nice to know not necessarily what you've got's entire lineage, but at least their lineage from point X? I think it would.
