newbie help buying first Python

[Mike11]

Hey Guys,

I Have been doing my reasearch for quiet a while now on buying my first Pythons.
i have had my Albino darwin for over two years so i know how to look after a python, but as he was given as a gift by a friend who used to breed them, i have not gone through the whole buying process.

As many on the fourm say, make sure i buy from a reputable breeder to make sure i am getting a quality animal with proper lines.
I have my heart set on a pair of High yellow with deep black Jungle pythons (Non jag.)
I have read that even some people have bought from a breeder they thought was reputable but they were jags or sibs being sold as pure. The issue i have is that I have no idea how i can make sure that the breeder i am buying from is actually not selling a jag etc?

Another thing im getting pretty confused about is what line to look for as there seems to be hundreds of Jungle lines and i dont really know what one i would be lookng for.


Thanks heaps for any replies

As for the line itself I am not really any help. The best way to check if it is a jag or not is ask for a photo of the snake itself and of both its parents. You can generally tell if it is a jag as it will have minimized patterning. Hope that helps to some degree.

Jag sibs have no jag genes in them, but are generally just not pures...
