jaguar carpet ?

hey all, i seen some awesom black & white carpets. not in the flesh but just pics of them. noticed they were called "jaguars" ? or sumtihn like that ? are they a seperate species or are they jsut a colour morph ?

what other black & white variations are there ? are they considerd "rare" hence command for a higher price ?

right now im really considering a black & gold jungle (cant stop thinkin bout them ! lol) Or a black & white of some sort (with similar patternning to a jungle)

cheers !

How about a Proserpine Coastal? A lot cheaper than a jungle.

hey skunk...i know the ones ur talking about, i've also heard them being called 'leopards'...i think they're a colour morph of the black and golds....and i think when it comes to ANY true jungles, regardless of colouration, ur gonna be payina fortune!

its gonna be hard to get onto a b/w jungle skunk. peolple just don't wanna sell them as they are pretty rare. i sold my female for $700 cos no-one would sell me a male.(after looking for 2 years). good luck though

Jaguar Carpets are not Jungles at all. They are in fact a weird colour morph that occured while breeding our Coastal Carpets overseas in Europe. They are not available here in Australia.

something sad im worried about is there are albino Northwestern carpets availible now (albiet in small numbers) im worried that ppl may use them to breed morphs into other morelia spilota spp such as diamonds and jungles its happened in the US

qld regulations dont allow the leagle breeding and trade of colour morphs/mutations apparently

That may be so, but it still happens all the time.

Like Bob said jags aren't anything like jungles although there's one pic of a black and white jag that looks very similar to a hot black and white jungle.

Also i can guarantee that the albino Darwins will be bred with every morelia there is in the future and the colour morphs that will come from that are only limited to the imiganitaion...Wasn't there something that came out not long ago that most morelia are now scientifically or taxonomically known as only Morelia Spilota other than carinata,viridis and amythstenia?Also in Vic all are classified as Morelia S Varieagata so where do we draw the line and what is right or wrong?????

Too true,and has been happening for quite a long time now.Anyone line breeding and selecting the best looking offspring to breed with each oter or another from a different bloodlie is still designer reptiles to me.When we see what is going to be produced in the not too near future i think the demand for designer reptiles be it right or wrong in whoevers eyes will be huge!!!If i were a newbie i would definitely choose a brightly coloured carpet over the average coastal but that's just me...

This is why I keep my Jaguars in the garage and my Snakes in my snakeroom, to prevent cross-breeding.
