Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Seeking information
Hello everyone....New member here seeking some information from some experienced people. Im a long time snake owner. Just different kinds of reptiles. Well i drastically reduced my collection to 2 jungle carpet pythons, male and female. 3 female Brazilian Rainbow boas and 2 unsexed rainbow boas. Im actually seeking one more carpet. A female. Maybe someone can help me with this. I have seen this said a few times. Never asked. What does it mean when they say....IJ Jags or IJ jag siblings. I know what the IJ jags mean...what does it mean when there is a difference "siblings" and just "jag". I wanna start breeding....any help is GREAT appreciated.

The Jaguar gene is a co-dominant gene. So when you breed a jag to a normal(or ij or jungle) the probability is 50% jags and 50% siblings. The siblings are basically just the normals that aren't jags. If you get a 50% or 75% ij jag for example, the percentages means how much ij blood is in the animal. So a pure coastal jag to a pure ij will give you 50% ij jags and sibs. If you breed a 50% ij jag to a pure ij, you end up with 75% ij jags and sibs. To answer your original question, the jags are the morphs and the sibs are just normals but some will argue that sibs are prettier than normal carpets. Its like if you breed a pastel ball python to a normal, half will be pastels(the jags in this case) and half will be normals(siblings). Hope that wasn't confusing.

Just so you know jags have a neurological disorder. Some have severe symptoms, while others go unnoticed. It varies from one individual jag to another. Also the onset can vary as well. Good luck

They do the same thing that Spider Ball Pythons do, the head "wobble"

As Tyler said it's like wobble in BP. It's also more noticeable at times of stress. There are some videos on youtube showing such animals.
