It’s phenomenal how Carpet Pythons can change during the first two years of their lives. This Albino Zebra had a fresh shed last night and she is looking absolutely fabulous. Albino Carpet Pythons tend to go through several ontogenetic colour changes in their lives, with the most dramatic changes occurring […]
It’s always hard to capture the unique colours and patterns of individual albino carpet pythons. It’s even harder to not stress them out in the lights of a studio. Reptile keepers do not seem to realise that these guys are extremely sensitive to light. I have seen albino carpet pythons […]
Hypomelanistic animals are on the opposite side of the melanism spectrum and expresses reduced melanin ( black pigment) production, unlike amelanism where there is no melanin production. The Pythons still display their colour and pattern but it is a lot lighter than normal individuals. In most cases their colour and […]

In recent times our hobby in Australia has seen a new wave of ignorance on the internet. What happened to the days of having an actual burden of proof, especially when breeders claim to have hatched something new in the mutation world? I have noticed far too many self proclaimed […]
There seems to be some confusion when it comes to certain commonly used terminology in Herpetoculture. Hopefully the following article can help clear up some of the confusion! Big words that are often used incorrectly, click on this link!

It unites all the fields of biology under one theoretical umbrella. It is not a difficult concept, but very few people — the majority of biologists included — […]
