hi every one, as always really there is alot of talk about jags and tiger morphs. i think it would be great to see some of the pythons that members own that look like or some what similar to a jag, be it coastal of jungle it would be great to see, i know there are some people working on morphs like these so i would be also great to see your progress eg the snakes you started with and the snakes you are at now and maby even you goals for you breeding program as small or as large as it may be.

Hi Jason,
There was a recent thread where people posted pics of their carpet morphs.
Correct me if Im wrong but a Jag is a capet python with reduced pattern incl head pattern.
I think there are already some aussie breeders with better than that.
Aussie breeeders (without crossing) will be world leaders in carpet morphs before too many seasons.

| Why bother with a post like that?no offence but it's not a requirement of this site to post 3 or 4 messages in EVERY topic.
Like ad said skim over some recent posts on carpets. Also there a quite a few carpets morphs being bred that are being kept on the quiet, and being bred into the albinos so won't be long before we start seeing albino type jags.

I'll reserve my comments about lest I get spanked by a mod.
Thanks for pointing out where the thread is Spike...I'm going to have a look- coz I had no idea what a jag was until I looked at this thread.
I thought someone was talking about Jaguar cars. (Must be the whole married to a mechanic thing)

We have a long way to go to catch up with overseas carpet morphs I'm afraid, we will start seeing some beautiful morphs and crosses in years to come no doubt about it. Once the paranoia is lost we will be able to proceed with real speed.

Hi Jason,
Here's a pic of just one of a few pairs of our adult pair(chenei) that produce animals that resembles to JAGS and TIGER morphs, We selectively buy and breed animals that we think have potential on producing youngs that is similar to JAGS, our breeding group consist of over a dozen striped morphs that were sourced from different keepers and breeders, and just to make things clear for some we never claim that animals we are working with is our LINE as we don't have a line having said that I just hope that breeders we got SOME of our animals from don't automatically assume that whatever we produce is from their line as we have a few animals that is part of these program, as BOA said we here in OZ have a long way to catch up but with a bit of patience and fine tuning we can achive this goal, I'm sure there is quite a few breeders out there that thinks the same.
Regards,
Joel

true ash, but the downside to that is that a high percentage of carpet pythons offered here now have been crossed & its hard to find pure strains.
And if your crossing you need to know what you have in the first place!

Absolutely true, that's why breeding pure snakes is very important and that is exactly what I will be doing along with other projects.
I think it is always possible to find pure snakes anywhere and of course it is equally easy to find those from muddied waters.

I don't see any reason to cross breed if you have Pure animals that you can work with, It is hard to find out of course if the animals we are working with and buying are pure, we can only hope, I'm at work now but soon as I get home I will post pics of yearling and juvie animals from this pair.....

And that is absolutely fine if that is your opinion, lots of people have different ideas of how things will progress and change in the future. Those animals you have there could well be a good starting point, it is very hard to tell what they will throw in a couple of generations.

Absolutely right, if that is genetic they will be very popular.
