History
I acquired a unique specimen, the original Zebra, without knowing if the appearance was inheritable or not. The previous owner hadn't had any success with the snake. The following year, in 2003, I bred him to a normal, unrelated Jungle Carpet female. To my complete surprise 2 Zebra babies hatched from the 6 good eggs in the clutch. In 2005 I bred one of the babies to another unrelated Jungle Carpet female and again hatched some Zebras.
In 2007 I bred a pair of Zebras together for the first time and was happy to see that the young female had laid 11 good eggs. Unfortunately 3 eggs failed to hatch and the remaining 8 eggs yielded 4 normal Jungles and 4 Zebras, no "Super Zebra" this time. In 2008 I again bred a pair of Zebras together and from the clutch of 10 eggs I hatched 3 Zebras, 4 normal Jungles and 2 Super Zebras!
