Thanks guys, I really appreciate the comments up to this point. To be honest, the seller that sold this guy to me has always been honest to the best of his ability. I've purchased four different animals from him in the past. I was leaning towards this guy being a Jaya until all those black scales started showing around the dorsal triangles. BTW, the pic was taken late last year and they're still there to this day........hopefully they stick.

I'd like to do a locality...

I voted "I don't care." That's a very nice looking snake.

Jeff, I voted "Wamena", but the more I look at it and the more I read, I am thinking you got what you paid for. I have seen some very similar younger Jayapura's. Whatever yours is, it is nice looking.

I have a yearling Jaya (bushmaster) that is basically a carbon copy of that one so my vote is for jaya....

I don't really know anything other than surfing the net for a decade or so and have made assumptions. Yours looks like a mainland type from anywhere North to Central.

I had some that looked quite a bit like yours years ago which were represented as Karubaga. That's a bit away from Wamena. At the time they were using Karubaga, Kelia, Bokondini and Lereh to split up the same locals in my opinion while assorted adult looks...

Kinda looks like a wanmena type or wanmena cross . Im not 100% on this one you should wait untill he/she completely change maybe could change a little more.

This guy was sold to me as a Jayapura, but now that he's gone through his color change (and has been green for over 6 months); I'm starting to wonder if he is indeed a Jaya or possible a Wamena/Something crossed. I'd like to know what you thought about his phenotype. I have no genotype info with him so I'm going off of what he visibly shows. The pics below show him from hatchling to current colors.
