well..... baby variegatas are pinkish in coloration so that little one is probally cheyeni, and the adult specimen apears to be as well. also, the australian spilotes tend to have 4 characteristic scales between their nostrils that are quite square and prominent where as varigatas or harrisoni tend to have scales that are less squre and may have more than four. try and find some pics youll see what i mean.

The tops a jungle, however i believe the bottom is a cross of a coastal x jungle.

Hi Worldsocold!

And there is some way that I be sure?

Thank you very much!

Not really but just based on looks the ones definitely a jungle and the other has both traits of jngles and coastals but who knows the percentage of jungle or coastal.

Most carpets are mutts and regardless none of us will ever truly know whats what.

Either way good looking snakes and i hope you enjoy them no matter what they are.
