Jungle Jaguar

Morelia spilota ssp.

Description

Jungle Jaguars are produced from breeding a Coastal Jaguar Carpet to a Jungle Carpet, the resulting offspring are 50% Jungle Jaguars. Breeding a 50% Jungle Jaguar back to a Jungle Carpet would yield second generation or 75% Jungle Jaguar Carpet Pythons.

History

In 2003 I hatched the first 50% Jungle Jaguar Carpet Pythons, from 15 eggs hatched 9 Jungle Jaguars and 6 normal siblings. I kept the 9 Jungle Jaguars for future breeding projects. In 2005 I bred male 50% Jungle Jaguar Carpets to unrelated female Jungle carpets, hatching the first 75% Jungle Jaguars! The idea was to get smaller, more colourful Jaguars and as you can see the yellow has developed very well. The following year a strangely patterned 75% Jungle Jaguar hatched, he has been nicknamed "Ocelot" and I have since hatched more with a similar appearance.
