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.
| Yep that's what i reckon too, but you can also get nice jungles from ordinary parents.... Quote: |
colouring was polygenic in its expression which if true complicates things.
| What does polygenic mean Jungle?
Breeders obviously breed for certain traits "colour and pattern".I read on a US forum that when people get say a striped jungle that they will breed for that pattern.There are many striped animals around "not just jungles" but can anyone say that the striping is an inherited trait?Has anyone bred 2 striped animals and produced a certain amount of striped offspring?Just curious.....

| | | Browns, i believe Paul Harris from ukpythons.com has tried repeatedly with limited success, he has bred very striped individuals and offspring have had no where near the striping the parents have. If you are interested in this project best to give him an email, his website is www.ukpythons.com.
