2010 Tiger Jag, yay or nay?

[Ikester1981]

WOW!! and what a trigger you pulled! I definitely love the reduced pattern, and am looking forward to the caramel baby. post pics asap. IMO chris behoff has some nice JCP's cbreptiles.com and andrew hare. reptilesbyah.com. if it were my money I'd get the hare line snake if you check he had a wicked looking yearling for sale just recently. check out mojoreptiles.com too. I am a die hard carpet fan and have my own project waiting in the wings my self. its hard to say about HIGH yellow but refined breeding will surely increase your chances. usually a diamond is in there some where to provide the CLEAN color and TIPPING. inside the black on jcps. have fun!!!

In fact I was just on kingsnake and chris B has a CRAZY jcp male and there is another beautiful jcp from MTC lines.

I got the tiger jag directly from Kerry, the caramels (just recently hatched) and D jag (2011 holdback that he didn't have room for) are from Laucke Hooper, who has some amazing caramels. Not sure on my plans for the male caramel or the D jag yet, we will see what opportunities pop up over the next couple years!

And it was very nice meeting you, will definitely be down to pick up some rats in the next couple weeks!

I already Picked up a GTP for that plan, my fave combinations where usually a jayapura or Biak GTP with a jungle carpet, or a jungle jag

Unfortunately with carpondros and jagpondros I've noticed its kinda hit or miss, a few of the ones ive seen had a bit to much going on with their pattern for me to really love em :|


On topic, That is a stunner of a tiger, But methinks i would have only paid around 450 for him, Unless its a female in which case id say 600 is justified.

A lot of Kerry Kings animals are a bit overpriced and i honestly think its because of who he is. (that's not to say his animals aren't amazing)

imo males are worth more than females mate

you buy a female you get " 1 clutch " per breeding season

you buy a male you get " as many clutches " as you want from him

a single male carrying a particular morph or gene,can breed with mutipule females in a season,where as a female can only give you a single clutch

the reason why males hold more value than females

Yep any co-dom or recessive mutation males will always be worth more...

Wether it's the albino gene you are after or in this case the Jag gene as you said 1 female = 1 clutch, were as 1 male = multiple sired clutches

I also think IJs and Bredli Jags would look amazing paired with a quality GTP!

And I actually think I got a helluva deal on this guy, being a 2010 he should be breedable this next season, plus he is an upper tier example with little neuro issues and fantastic feeding response (he just took a FT med rat immediately! Yay!). There are a small number of better examples out there, but this guy beats 90% of them, plus I trust Kerry's husbandry and am not worried about the health of the animal. There were some Tiger Jags at the Des Moines show this weekend for 150-300, but none of them came close to this specimen.

Can't wait to cross with a caramel and produce specimens like this:
