Diamond Python/Carpet Python Hybrid

Here's a pretty snake that spent a little time in the office at work the other day. Another ranger brought it in to show everyone since it is hybrid snake - two subspecies (Diamond Python & Carpet Python) whose distribution overlaps roughly in our area. It was very docile for a wild snake and we had fun letting it check out life out of the wild!

A close up of the scales... imagine knitting a jumper with this pattern...

I'm headed off for my Artist's Date today!
