Doberman

When the jungles are born they are not coloured like adults. If I recall correctly there is at least one pic of a jungle emerging from an egg in "Pythons of the World".

Jungles take quite a while to reach their "best". This is why many breeders will hold back their offspring for sometime, selling them at 6-12 months of age. The idea is at this age the snakes have coloured up somewhat and you have a better chance of picking nice examples.

I have bought most of mine this way and I am happy with the result.

To be honest I feel I pay for the bloodlines, and only when I breed from them do I actually get to pick the prized animals I have paid all this money for.

It is true that you can get ugly jungles from great parents, but I think this is a big part of what makes a beautiful jungle all that more special.

So you can either buy hatchlings or juviniles or even search for adults, each has its pros and cons.
