The patterning on 3 is much better IMO than the other 2. 2 is ok and not interested in 1. Also i like the lighter colour of 3. I know they change but its at least a lighter starting shade.

Id still go for number three. The banding down the entire body looks very much alike, and i think would probably (in my totally unfounded opinion) end up the best looking adult.

I dont like the stripes on the 2nd, and the contrast ofthe first doesn't seem as good as 3.

If you have a "Jag lookalike" male and want to produce faux Jags, you'd be mad to choose #1 or #2 over #3. Having said that, all of the "Australian Jag" projects are silly, you're not going to "line breed" and come up with something comparable to the Jag mutation. In any case, it's a safe bet that real Jags have made their way over here already and will be available before too long (at which point the faux Jags/"Australian Jags" will be worth nothing), the only question is whether they're going to be (falsely) marketed as a novel mutation which popped up over here, "startlingly similar to the genuine Jaguars", or if they will be sold without this false cover story, somewhat similar to all of the exotic Chondros being sold. Either way, everyone with an eighth of a brain will know what's going on, which will likely cause those with them to hang on to them for a bit longer, quietly pass them around and then fairly suddenly many people all over the place will have them, so there will be no one to point the finger at. It's going to be very interesting to see how the first Jag(s) pop up publicly in Australia. I must admit, because of my curiousity I'm quite looking forward to it, even though it will quite possibly be done in an appaling way. After a while, there will be a heap going around quietly and people will become more and more keen to bring them into the open, but until the first person does it, they'll have the fears of dealing with the stigma of smuggling/breaking laws/importing USA's diseases, etc etc. Being an effectively Mendelian dominant allele (while also being a lethal Mendelian recessive!), it won't take long for a heap to be produced once someone has an adult male over here, which likely happened a while ago.

Anyway, I've gone way off topic there. #3 has the most 'lucrative' pattern, but it's too early to say what their colours will be like, so while #3 is definately your best bet, it's not certainly going to be the best looking adult snake.

Some of those word's in your post are killing me John, Personally nothing will EVER compare to a jag hat comes from a selective bred animal. Mainly, what I will try to do, is get a striped animal/bareback with the colors of my male (jag look alike).

I prefer the first one only because I like the look of darker snakes, it may just be the picture making it look dark though!
Go with which one you like!!

the 3rd looks nice and pale so you'll probably get a nice light colouration but i personally like the 2nd one which is bright and has a good stripe definition.
