Snake Swag Bracket Round 1B

These last two snakes have little in common, besides my love for their beautiful yellow speckling and stripes! The golden tree snake (Chrysopelea ornata) can be found in a wide range through south and southeast Asia. Like the other species in the Chrysopelea genus, the golden tree snake is known as a flying snake! Excellent climbers, they are able to launch themselves from high branches and, by flattening their bodies, gently glide from tree to tree or sometimes from a tree to the ground. They are very shy and skittish snakes, and much prefer to flee when threatened but will often bite if handled. They are rear-fanged venomous, but their venom is not considered a threat to humans. Carpet pythons (Morelia spilot) can be found on mainland Australia--typically on the eastern and northern coasts--as well as in Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, and on Yule Island. They are able to thrive in a variety of environments, from wet tropics to the arid deserts, and it is not uncommon for them to find themselves in human habitations. They tend to be most active at night, and can often be found basking and enjoying a nap in the sun.

I'm Australian and I love snakes so I made a snake character. Her name is Poppy and she's a (South West) Carpet Python (because I'm from South-West Australia). Carpet Pythons are also well known to be very docile and sweet animals, which I think is pretty cute.
Poppies symbolize the blood spilled and lives lost during both World Wars, as well as hope for a peaceful future. Lest We Forget.
She also has brown eyes with a little bit of green because I have brown eyes with a little bit of green :)
Uhhhhh snakes are really cool :)

I got a visit from a local legend today!
This is Rustle, the Carpet Python. They're named so for the sound of rustling leaves they make as they move. Other that, people in the street usually know he's around by their shed skin. Actually seeing them is rare to my understanding, so I feel blessed. Interestingly, my mum was alerted to him by a local couple that were making alarm cries. When my parents were harrasing Rustle with photograph, the magpies were surprisingly tolerant of our presence while we were taking photographs. Maybe we made them feel safe?

This is a document listing different snake breeds and their specific morphs that might have issues that could affect their quality of life. It is suggested not to buy these breeds as it encourages the sellers to breed more and keep the cycle going of health issues.
Corn snake
Bloodred- Immuno-compromised and weaker immune systems in corn snakes
Sunkissed- Neurological issues/ “Stargazing syndrome” (balance is uncoordinated along with moving in general and they always tilt their head up which very often leads them to just laying on their back)
Palmetto- Enlarged eyes can lead to more common eye infections and what is called “Bug eye syndrome” where their eyes are very enlarged as a birth defect and very prone to infections.
Caramel- Enlarged hearts and sudden death rate
Striped- Enlarged hearts and weakness
Lavender- In breeding lines it is more likely for lavenders to have kinked spines and not survive getting out of the egg. If one snake is proven to not have a kinked spine after birth, then it should have no other health issues.
Ball Pythons
Spider- Neurological Issues (head wobble/ “Wobble syndrome”) and very often starving to death because they cannot aim for their food right or vomit because their body will reject the food
IMPORTANT NOTE: A lot of spider morphs have been renamed and a lot go by the “Bee” morph name now or their spider genetics are masked by another trait they were bred with
Black head x spider morphs masks the spider in them, but the genes remain and make be passed to offspring or show signs later
Super spiders are lethal to the snake
Cinnamon- Neurological issues (Similar to Spider morphs)
Super cinnamons/Super Black pastels are prone to duckbill syndrome and spine kinking
Woma- Neurological issues (Head wobble)
Super Woma morphs can by the name “Pearl” which produces Neurological issues to the point of death
Champagne- Neurological issues (Head wobble)
Champagne x Super Woma produces even more severe neurological issues
Champagne x Spider is incredibly lethal
Super champagnes are lethal
Powerball- Neurological issues (Head wobble)
Spotnose- Neurological Issues (head wobble/ “Wobble syndrome”)
Champagne x spotnose makes Neurological Issues (head wobble/ “Wobble syndrome”)
Spotnose x spider makes Neurological Issues (head wobble/ “Wobble syndrome”)
Super Butters- Eye deformities and prone to eye infections
Super Sabels and Super Black pastels- Prone to duck billing (a jaw/face deformity that can cause breathing problems) and spine kinks
Deserts- producing infertile females and most snakes have reproductive issues
Caramel Albinos- severe kinking issues and fertility issues
Piedbals mixed with Super lesser Platinums or any morphs from BEL complex- small eyes and eye deformities
Bananas/Coral Glow- Sex chromosomes are sometimes messed up and this becomes an issues in breeding, but otherwise the snake should be fine on its own 
Western/Plains Hognose
Pink Pastel Albino- Neurological issues and fertility issues
Boa constrictor
Super Motley-  Weak immune systems and won’t survive past their second birthday
Super jungle- Weak livers, infertility and most likely won’t survive to their second birthday.
Super Aztec-  Neurological Issues and balance issues
Blizzard- Lethal genes that kill them
Scoria- Neurological Issues (head wobble)
Super keywest- Will die within 2 years
Super Parsons- Will die within 2 years
RLT- Will die within 2 years
Fires- small eyes, thin and small scales
Onyx/Leopard- Prone to bursting bellies if overfed
Albino- weaker immune systems and poor genetics
Albino x Albino will often produce offspring with missing eyes and other deformities
Texas Rat Snake
Leucistic- enlarged eyes and “bug eye syndrome”
Honduran Milk Snake
Extreme hypo- enlarged hearts and sudden death
Carpet Pythons
Granite- Physical deformities
Jaguar- Neurological issues (head wobble)
Super Jaguar and ivory morphs are lethal

Irian Jaya Carpet Python, from a pet shop in Manchester
Fact from pet snake care : Carpet Pythons are large Australian constrictors, the smallest of which is the Irian Jaya Carpet Python. This beautiful and powerful constrictor reaches a length of 5 – 7 feet and is ideal for anyone who wants to own one of these impressive and beautiful snakes but has limited space. Some other Carpet Python subspecies such as the Coastal Carpet Python (M.s.mcdowelli) can reach lengths exceeding 12 feet.
Irian Jaya Carpet Pythons are slender constricting snakes with large heads that are very distinct from their bodies and they are found naturally in New Guinea and the far northern coast of Australia. These nocturnal snakes are also sometimes known as West Papuan Carpet Pythons.
