Danger! High Voltage!

[Will0W783]

As requested, I'm posting some pictures of my jungle/jaguar sibling, High Voltage. This guy was produced in 2008 by Mike Curtin and is a clutchmate to the famous Jigsaw. Volt is a great snake and just gets brighter and brighter with every shed. It's hard to capture the true yellow in a picture, but in the flesh he is pretty much highlighter yellow and velvet black. He's my pride and joy and just blows my mind every day! I need to get some more pictures- he's grown quite a bit since these ones.
Here he is:

very clean looking snake.i really like this one

No problem Shaun. I know the whole clutch was 75% jungle/25% coastal. I am not sure of what the parents were. This past year, Mike paired Jigsaw with a jungle and got another aberrant jag (Link). I've seen Link too, and he's adorable and gorgeous. Volt is very clean with only a single black scale in a few of his yellow patches; these only appeared a few sheds ago with age. I've got one of Lilly's babies- a 75% jungle/25% coastal jaguar female (TiVO) that I intend to put with Volt when she grows up. Also, I'm thinking of putting Volt with my female DJCP, Illusion, this year. The offspring would be 50% jungle, 37.5% diamond, and 12.5% coastal. While both the would-be parents are beautiful, I'm not sure I want to have that many different things in the mix. I also have a pure JCP, but she isn't quite up to a size I'm comfortable breeding yet. She should be next year though.

Wow! Thanks for the warning ;) That's indeed some bright yellow. Gorgeous snake, thanks for sharing.

Awesome snake Willow :)

I especially like his head pattern. Kind of looks like a leaf or a flower or something like it but it looks really cool. :)

[Will0W783]

Thanks Grimleo- carpet head patterns are one of my favorite things about them (well there are so very many things about carpets to love!). I've seen such variety- ones that look like pirate skulls, flowers, tv sets, smiley faces, angry faces..you never know what you're going to get. ;)

That's a handsome snake you have there! I can only hope my JCP turns out to be half as nice as High Voltage!

for ever the scientist miss willow:yes:

thats perfectly correct on paper but mother nature dont do paper :yes:

so the clutch were 75%jungle jags = those who carry the jag gene

75% jungle jaguar siblings = volt and the other sibs

percentages are just theoretical percentages

im thinking jigsaw must have been crossed with a 50% jungle jag to get those percentages

mike must have put jag on jag ?

or jigsaw on jag ?

i think he's still trying to find and proove out jigsaw being a different gene mutation to the normal jaguar gene mutation

or if jigsaw is a variation of the jag gene

although volt technically has some coastal in his dna imo he looks like a very clean PURE jungle.

technically the percentage of coastal may be a lot less than 25%

no matter what he's a clean carpet...!!


if i had volt my choice of breeding would be with a nice clean jaguar (tivo)

mike breeds very high quality morelia and is a great guy to talk to and from what ive heard deal with.im in talks with him at the moment about exporting to europe so i can go pick them up and add some great bloodlines to the uk.

also more good guys.....

eric burke,jason baylin,nick mutton and the guy who's name i keep forgetting from the morelia trophy club to name but a few

you got some great morelia in the states also a few good breeders in canada as well

cant wait to see all the american and canadian morelia grow up on this forum

cheers shaun

Fantastic looking snake Willow :)

Shaun, Luke Snell is also a great Morelia guy (Morelia in Wonderland). Bling is from him- he has some of the nicest DJCP intergrades I've seen. I know Mike is trying to figure out what's going on with Jigsaw and he might borrow Volt to cross a sibling back into the line and see if there's anything carried in the sibs. Volt does have a very uniquely vibrant, deep yellow to him.

Absolutely stunning Willow. I appreciate you and Shaun name dropping. It gives me an idea of who to keep my eye on next year! Curious. What does your shirt say in the third pic?:freakedout:

[Wolfus_305]

Wow, absolutely stunning. Looks sorta like mine... unfortunately mine is becoming very "aggressive" she strikes at every opportunity sooo i have to find her a new home. They are truly gorgeous though, love the colours!!

[Freebody]

very nice! :)

[marvelfreak]

Sweet! Bet she gives you some really beautiful babies.

[percey39]

Very clean yellow, you can tell that those colours would really pop in real life. Another beautiful snake you have there Kim!

what age is your jungle ?

what size food item you feeding it ?

how often have you been handling it ?

sorry for all the questions,im trying to work out if theres something you could do to calm it down

you obviously love the snake and it would be a pitty to see you have to re home it

cheers shaun
