Hello
I am interested in a carpet python. What i am looking for is one that is really attractive. I am not sure which one i would like. I think JCP is more for me. However i would like one that is very light in the black and bright yellow. Is this a JCP. Not a small amount of black but its almost like a tan look. Can anyone point me in the directiong of someone who breeds these guys. I live in NY but i would look into website breeders.
Thank you
Joseph

Some Jungles develope yellow tipping within their black bandings which can look golden. It can be very striking to have an animal with gold, yellow and black...

If your really stuck though on brown bands though, I'd say your working with the wrong snake. Carpet bands are predominately black...I've never seen brown bands. I've seen brown IN the bands and those usually are Coastals(can have thin black bands with the large brown areas inside, Iran Jayas (Payan)carpets(can have thin black with orange-is brown areas), and Bredli (Redish brown inside the black banding. The black banding tends to fade tward the head making it look like it has brown stripes)...But onlt the Coastal and the Papayan can have a yellow ting to their blackground tan...

Look into Will Leary, Spitfire Reptiles, VPI, and Jan Eric at JBC. If they don't have the carpet your looking for, Its a different snake, or very rare. Most JCP's will have a dark black Look it makes the yellow stand out more, It sounds like you want an Iran Jaya or a nice JCP.

An alternate means would be to take a trip to the Hamburg PA show this weekend... there's bound to be something there that you like and it's just a fun show. There's also a show at Whiteplains New York that's closer for you. If you are looking for world class quality, the above mentioned breeders are the very best! Good luck!
