Jungle Jag Size

[Will0W783]

Maybe this is a dumb question, but I was under the impression that coastals are the largest carpet subspecies, so wouldn't a jungle/jag be expected to be the same size or smaller than a "straight" (pure coastal) jag? Maybe I'm just reading the thread wrong, but it sounds like marvelfreak is saying he expected them to be larger because they were part jungle? The research I've done suggests jungles average around 5-6 feet, while coastals can be 8-9 and Irian Jayas usually 4 1/2-5. Although with better knowledge of optimal care and medicine to allow our snakes to live longer, it would make sense that all species of snake attain a larger average captive size than a few decades ago.

I meant the straight coastal jags get bigger and thicker.(8 feet or more) The jungle Jag were between 7 to 8 1/2 feet. I should point out all the jag i seen were in pictures of 6 different pairs of parents of Jags i been checking out. Trying to decided on which Jag i want to buy. My bases was on the sizes i was told these parents were, but it doesn't mean they didn't stretched the true on their size.
So OP don't go by anything i said. I thought i was helping, but apparently i was miss inform. I would go with by what Shaunyboy said has he knows a ton more about Jag than i do and he own quite a few. Sorry for wasting everybody time and giving misinformed info.
