I have not seen these for a few years, I think they use to be on the AAA reptile website. I always thought they were a really neat looking hybrid. Thanks, Brad Lichtenhan

Hi Brad
im sure their are a few breeders in the US, but really that would depend on what type you are after, the original starter carpet king (Thayeri X Greeri)in 1995 was bred to a standard Albino Jungle corn and the best male from that clutch of ten eggs was bred to alsorts to generate the carpet king variations,the look was based on the split pattern of bands that settled down the sides of the offspring, here are a few of the different kings that that original male was bred to , to achieve the different colour types. Yellow Leonis Thayeri, Peach Thayeri, Apricot Sockhead Pueblan, Zonata, Pyro, Hypo Motley Corn.
They all produced great looking Hybrids, one of my favourits was the zonata cross, which produced the white background colour.

Their were plenty of them created in the US, im sure someone here can help you find one or two.

Cheers
Paul

THanks for all the info, the ones that AAA had a pattern very similar to carpet pythons. You have a nice site, thanks, brad

hi Brad
you would first need to cross a Thayeri to a Greeri then use one of those F1 Thayeri x Greeri and cross it to a jungle corn.

when creating a particular look you may have to use a pattern trait to get what you want in the end result.

Thank you for the information, I would prefer to get some carpet kings, but if I can't find any, I guess I can make some. Thanks, Brad
