Red intensity Centralian (Carpet) Python
How deep and how extensive the red is, and how strongly the banding contrasts. Built up by choosing the reddest animals over generations rather than carried by one gene.
How it is produced
- Where it comes from
- This is not a single gene. It is produced by choosing which animals to breed, over generations.
- What that means for breeding
- No offspring percentage can be given for it. Breeders judge it by looking at the parents.
Offspring odds
No numbers for this one.
Red intensity is produced by selective breeding over generations, not by a single gene, so no offspring percentage can be given for it. Breeders judge it by looking at the parents.
Worth knowing. Bredl's pythons hatch far less red than they end up: the colour deepens over the first years, so a hatchling photograph understates what the adult will look like — the opposite of the green tree python, where the neonate is the brighter animal.
What this rests on
Established by breeders through repeated crosses and recorded in community documentation, not by published genetics. That is how almost all morph inheritance is known — and it is worth saying rather than presenting it as laboratory fact.
