Caramel Zebra
The Caramel Zebra combines two intermediately inherited mutations: Caramel from Coastal Carpet Pythons (M. s. mcdowelli) and Zebra from Jungle Carpet Pythons (M. s. cheynei). This is a documented subspecies cross – a designer morph.
Caramel reduces dark pigmentation and shifts the palette toward warm bronze and gold. Zebra adds its characteristic irregular transverse banding. Together, the result is bold banding in earthy warm tones – tan, bronze, and gold rather than the typical black and yellow of a standard Zebra. The overall appearance is softer and more muted compared to a pure Jungle Zebra.
Both mutations are intermediately inherited: one copy of each = visual expression. Super forms of both Caramel and Zebra are possible and combinable.
I couldn’t be happier with my experience working with Philip at StarPythons. From start to finish, the entire process was smooth, professional, and exceeded my expectations. Importing two carpet pythons from Europe might sound stressful, but Philip made it incredibly easy and kept me informed every step of the way. Both animals arrived safely, right on schedule, and in excellent condition. You can immediately tell they were well cared for, alert, healthy, and exactly as described. It’s clear that Philip takes pride in the quality of his animals and the service he provides. If you’re considering adding to your collection, especially through an import, I highly recommend StarPythons. This was a five-star experience all around, and I wouldn’t hesitate to work with Philip again.
