    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

How's it going. I am posting this thread in a quest for information. As I have recently, become entranced by what I have found to be called a pastel jaguar python.

My question is about the genetics involved to make such an animal. Let me pause to state something, I am not going to breed to produce these animals. I am a bearded dragon breeder. I simply have to have one of these beautiful snakes. I have just been looking, and doing some research, since I want to know as much as I can before I purchase one.

I have noticed some people list theirs as a jaguar carpet python, as a jaguar jungle carpet python, or as a red jaguar carpet python, etc. And I found one or two people producing a pastel jaguar. My question is if these are all of the Morelia spilota chenyei or if they are of the Morelia spilota mcdowelli, etc. or are they a hybrid of the two of the subspecies?

As I have found contradictory evidence in several online resources. Is the jaguar simply a morph that has been found across several of the Morelia spilota subspecies?

Thanks in advance!
 
The jaguar morph started in coastal carpets, and was bred into the others later. So a jungle jag is a coastal/jungle cross. (They are often then bred back to more jungles to increase the jungle influence)

I haven't seen pastel jags...but I haven't been keeping up with the latest and greatest.
 
Thanks Harald!

I appreciate it. I always enjoy expanding my collection. Especially, as I believe this may become my prized possession.

I'm also interested in aquiring some Jag Carpets. Can anyone recommend good breeders ?

Thanks

Look into Mike Curtian (spelling?) on here, he should have some adds in the python classified section.
