just wondering could all you nice people give me some advise, if im planning to breed in the future and i currently own a normal phase jcp, what type of rarity jcp should i invest in? i.e (leapord, dimond, jag, ect......)and also could some one post the different pics of each, and where is a good canadain website to purchase such a snake?

Diamond's and Jags AREN'T JCP's. They are Diamonds and Jags, with a Jaguar being a Coastal Carpet morph. There are no rare JCP's. Check that; the rarest JCP is a wild caught JCP. Not to be had anywhere outside of Down Under.

so i can only breed normal jungles and hope to get something new? I'm not sure on this process its something that highly interests me! I'm looking to buy a snake to breed with my female in the future to make a new type of jcp or at least try too! is this possible? and again where would be a informative website where i can purchase such a snake? sorry to sound repetitive, i'm just really curious i got confused with the coastals and jungles!

jungles are jungles, you can get colour variations from dull to bright. what i get out of your first post is that you want to create hybrids, is that what you are talking about?

yah kind of...i know that there is no morphs as of yet? but is the possibility there with this type of breed?

chameo_liz · 01-09-05, 08:57 PM

you can hybridize all you want they will still be hybrids and are not popular with very many keepers. Just breed to another jungle and enjoy what happens with the experience.

sounds good. thanks for the advice and you never know i may get something different!

You won't be able to sell any hybrids for 1/2 of what the true blooded ones will be worth.

In time Jungle albino hets will make it to the US if they haven't already and then they'll come to Canada. No point in trying to cross a Jungle with anything.
Cheers,

There is already so much variability with jungles I don't know why you would need any thing else. There are stripes, 50/50's, high yellows, classics, whites...the list goes on. There are even different ranges of yellow, I have seen nearly orange, canary yellows, flourescent/ highlighter yellows and some very atractive brown jungles.

Look at the variability in my collection,

Think of the possibilities!

If you really need a morph, get into coastals...there are many types of Jags, Tigers, Tri-stripes, and natural variability (like jungles).

Thanks ben thats the information i 've been looking for, that's all i asked in the first place (not to be rude). Where can i buy any of these variations, or is it just chance through breeding?

Ben Nickelson · 01-10-05, 01:01 PM

A lot of the different possibilities you just have search for the kind of stock your looking for. The best way to get what you want is to find a breeder that has stock with the attributes you like and buy young from them.

I know Jeff has had variety of different jungles produced in his collection.

Where are some good spots or sites to look for these different tpyes (striped, orange, high yellow ect..)?

Jeff_Favelle · 01-10-05, 07:47 PM

Just look at all the pics in this patricular forum going back 3 years and you'll see pretty much every Jungle imaginable. No need to make work for yourself and look any further.

But one could always type in "Jungle Carpet Python" into google and see what comes up.................

wow!!! that was kinda harsh...i understand that you are just trying to learn as much as you can about your new snake, i am in the same boat as you are! seeing that i am also a new snake owner! and chances are you already went to google to search for info...but hey theres never to much to learn and any new information is good information! a good website is http://www.a1pythons.com/jungle.html...i'm not sure on genetics and breeding but someone should be able to help you.
