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.
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.
