Caramel het Granite
This Caramel het Granite is visually a standard Caramel – warm bronze and gold tones with reduced dark pigmentation. The Granite allele is carried in heterozygous form and is not visible. Het status is determined through documented parentage.
Caramel is intermediately inherited and originates from Coastal Carpet Pythons (M. s. mcdowelli). Granite is recessive and originates from Irian Jaya (M. s. harrisoni). The presence of both lineages means this animal has a mixed subspecies background.
The hidden Granite allele provides breeding value for producing visual Caramel Granites – a combination of warm Caramel tones with Granite's characteristic pattern fragmentation. Paired with another het Granite, statistically 25% of offspring will be visual Granites.
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.
