New Jaguar and Jag Sibling photos...

[AnthonyC]

This guy just shed...again, so I figured I'd snap some pics before giving him a large rat. I'm really hoping this guy will be ready to breed in a few months. I've got a few ladies that can't wait to meet him. :D

Gotta love the freaky white eyes...

Erin,

The second one isn't really a Jaguar. It's a "normal" sibling from a clutch of Jaguars. The siblings look strange too, but not as strange as the true Jaguars, so that's why so many people make the distinction.

Thanks again!

Very nice Anthony, one question though, have people bred the jag siblings yet?

[AnthonyC]

Jon,

Yes, someone in Europe bred one pair of Jaguar siblings and did not get anything special (i.e. Jaguars). To me, that means nothing, though. I'm of the firm belief that some Jaguar siblings really are completely normal, while others are carrying something genetic. Whether or not the Jaguar sibling look will be passed on, or whether it will produce something new, I don't know...but I believe there is something there.

While I don't have any plans to breed Jaguar siblings together any time soon, my partner (on the Jag project) and I do plan on breeding the male Jaguar to a handful of Jaguar siblings. We've got three female Jaguar siblings (one 2002, one 2003 and the 2004 pictured above), so we'll be trying all of them eventually.

If anything, I'd hope that breeding a Jaguar to a "normal" Jaguar sibling would produce somewhat different looking baby Jaguars...or a higher ratio of Jaguars to normal...or something? :)

That is one SWEET looking jag Anthony! Very cool pics too...

There is nothing "normal" about Jag siblings. They seem to exhibit high yellow themselves. But the jag is just out of this world, man. By far the coolest morph of ANY snake ANYwhere.

[JonD]

Thats cool Anthony, good luck with the whole project. I'd love to own one someday...;)

That Jag is awesome~!!

Hope that the guy would breed for you~!!

Such an awesome animal!!

Awesome Jag! Stunning animal

Anthony, to the best of my knowledge, Will and Mary Leary have been the first people to breed Jags in the US so far. They had some jag and jag siblings at the daytona breeders expo.

Jags are so nice, both the car and snake :D

...and the large cat. Awesome pics!

You're absolutely correct. I'm actually pretty good friends with Will. In fact, the female Jaguar sibling pictured in this post was a gift from Will. She's from their first Jaguar clutch this year...which was the very first Jaguar clutch in the United States.

So far, they're the only people in the US to produce Jaguars. I'm hoping to be the second. :D

[JonD]

Wow wish my friends gave me gifts like that!!:D

Amazing Jag Anthony. Mind if I use it as background on my PC for a little while?

[SnakeyeZ]

Awesum!, love the first two pics...how much they ussually go for?
