EVERYONE:

I was surfing the net and found these critters. They are the best yet I have seen in last 2 years looking around for them and WOW. Overall my favorite carpet species, hands down. Even the photography on these ones here is just beautiful many congrats to the owner and photographer of these Jaguars.

Beautiful snakes. I almost got a male last year but ended up having to save for a down payment on a house instead, darn. Anyways the people I was looking at where selling them for anywhere from 3000-4000 USD, and yep they are co dominant, so get a male and a bunch of normal females and your off! Try Craig or mardy, an Don patterson my have some too.

BonboreD...there has only been one tiger jag and two sibs produced (Reptilicus Reptiles) and they are '04s.

The genes are harder to explain than just co dom. There are a few articles out there. If the genes were co dom, you should be able to produce super jaguars by breeding 2 jaguars together, yet when it was tried, all the babies came out regulars...

I am not sure what the genes are.

Here is a link with some nice jaguars

Ah, I see. Thanks for the info. :) The top and bottom pics just kinda look tiger-ish to me is all, due to the striping mostly.

This is false, past Jag to Jag breedings have produced 6 Leucistic snakes that died shortly after pipping. I would consider these to be supers because if it is co dom when breeding a Jag to Jag only 1 out of 4 babies would be supers, 1 in four would be normal sibs, and half would be Jags.

There is a lot that is unknown about this trait and one thing to keep in mind it that although there are different types of Jags one normal Jag can produce all types(Hypo, Red Hypo, Classic, etc). I am guessing this is caused by the natural variation in the color and pattern of coastal carpet pythons and these types will not breed true until after several generations of selective breeding have occurred. Meaning that if you breed a Red Hypo to a Red Hypo not all baby Jags will be Red Hypos. You will have classics and normals too. Maybe after several generations of selective breeding they will breed true. We will have to wait and see.

Will Leary has proven that the normal coastal mother plays a big part in what the Jags will look like. He has bred his Jags to some very nice coastals and produced IMO the best Jags along with some that are very different.

Wow leucistic carpets, who woulda thunk it? Do you have any more info regarding these Jaremy?

[JDouglas]

Sorry I don't have any other info. Will Leary mentions these Leucistics on his website. Here is a link...

Anthony's website also briefly mentions it...
