Caramel Granite

The Caramel Granite combines the intermediately inherited Caramel from Coastal Carpet Pythons (M. s. mcdowelli) with the recessive Granite from Irian Jaya Carpet Pythons (M. s. harrisoni). This is a documented subspecies cross.

Caramel reduces dark pigmentation and shifts the palette toward warm bronze and gold tones. Granite disrupts the regular banding pattern into individually pigmented scale clusters, producing its characteristic granular texture. Together, the result is a warm-toned animal with fragmented, speckled patterning rather than defined saddles or bands – each individual unique in how the two traits interact.

Caramel is intermediately inherited (one copy = visual Caramel; two copies = Super Caramel), while Granite is recessive. Both mutations are visually expressed in this animal.
