As you said mate, colour and pattern is one of the main factors when pricing Jungles. Locality also comes into it for some. Top of the line Jungles will still pull upto $900 per hatchling. The trouble with Jungles is that they don't show their true potential straight out of the egg. People have been robbed due to alot of 'breeders' palming off average Athertons as Black and Gold, smudge free, locale specific, top of the line, bla bla bla Palmerston Jungles. It seems everyone has B/G Jungles available these days.......

Anyways, my rant asside. Colour, pattern and locale set the price. And after all, 'Jungle' is such a broard term.....The first two pics posted are Jungles from the exact same clutch, the second two are male and female Palmerston Jungles. Pattern asside, the first animals colours warrent a more realistic price range, the second could go as a $600 hatchling. Offspring from the last two go for around $550. As with everything, prices are set by demand and the thoughts of the breeder towards what a buyer would pay. We price to match what we would pay.

While I'm on the rant wagon, some advice to any soon to be Jungle buyers. As hatchling 'jungles' don't always show true to their future colour you can only take the sellers word on what qualities may show when they mature. Ask to see pics of the parents. Even better would be to buy from a reputable Jungle breeder such as the Stocks, Roger, Nev or the many other trusted keepers on this site. (sorry, couldn't fit you all in).

Well, that's my rant for the month....
