    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.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    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....

Right now I'm looking for info on genes of reptiles which are either harmful or lethal. It is a topic that interests me and I'd like to learn as much as I can so I can write about it and share the info.

I'm currently looking for info on Jaguar Carpet Pythons specifically, especially from those who have kept them. But anybody is welcome to add information. I have some questions:

1. For those that you own, what subspecies or mix?
2. Does/do your Jag(s) display any neurological symptoms? If so, how severe? When is it worse?
3. If you own more than one, does one have more severe neurological symptoms than the other? Are they different Jaguar combo morphs? Are they related?
4. Do you have a Jaguar sibling that displays neurological symptoms?
5. Have you ever produced a Leucistic (super Jaguar)? If so, did it hatch? How long did it survive?
6. Have you ever produced a chimera from a Jag x Jag pairing? If so, how long did it survive?

Thanks for taking time to answer my questions. :)
 
I also forgot to ask about its quality of life, and if it is able to eat, shed, and breed without much difficulty.

I've bred close to 7 to 9 clutches of Jags. Coastal and outcrosses.

All Jags have neurological disorder, it comes with the gene. Some animals display it heavily some animals...almost nothing at all. ALL JAGS...when restrained will show symptoms.

No, The disorder is contained to the mutated gene.

I all the clutches I had....never saw a leucistic...dead or alive.

No, and all of my Jag breedings were jag to jag.

No worries,

I haven't bred them myself but agree with every other response Derek posted. I have a few different jags and they all have some level of neurosis. Even people who say there's don't, when I handle them I notice it immediately. Again, Derek covered pretty much everything but it's inherent to the gene. Some have it very bad and others not as much, but they're perfectly healthy other than acting goofy.

Thanks so much for your information!
 
Pretty much agree with Derek, this is my first year producing jags and all the ones I produced show little neuro. My male jag my wife doesn't see the neuro, I pick up on it immediately, he also waited till he was 4 yrs old to figure out he was a boy!
