Scale Counts?

vtrescuekid Sep 14, 2005 08:28 PM

I've got a Carpet python of some sort. It's either an Irian Jaya or it's a Coastal Carpet (then again it could be a cross). The only way I know of to tell what it is for sure is to get a scale count on him. Does anyone know the scale counts on Irian Jaya's and Coastal carpets? This way I could at least rule one or both out? I'm trying to sell him but it's kind of hard when you don't know exactly what you have. Thanks for any help.

May we see a few pics? Should be easily identifiable...

Cheers,

A picture doesn't really help. I've posted pictures before and people thought it was a Coastal Carpet. The woman I got it from (works at a well known reptile distributor says it's an Irian Jaya) so the only way to tell is scale counts. I'm just trying to find out what they should be so I can figure out what I have.
