I bred a whole clutch of striped animals that vary a bit from this girl which I have since lost but she looks very very close to the jag I've posted along with her.I'm holding my striped animals back and believe they are genetic and will see what comes from breeding the siblings with each other.
The jags one must remember have now been crossed with everything possible hence the huge variety of jag morphs which I do find are stunning looking animals but would be nice to see what would have come from selectively breeding the so called pure coastal jags with each other but people started crossing them straight away.Some of the nicest jags seem to be jag cross IJ's.

There are still alot of people producing 'pure' coastal jags in the US. I recon they look pretty similar to the IJ jags, i like the jungle jags myself.

Imagine popping something like this out of a clutch of coastals lol it's nice to dream,I'm sure we'll have our own similar type of morph but maybe not the same as overseas jags which when bred together produce leucistics which unfortunately do not survive.
Maybe someone here will produce something similar and then if they get leucistics when bred to each other and get viable living offspring it would be much the same jag morph as overseas but better if the super form survived???

A jag is a carpet morph that arose overseas about 20 years ago (not sure on the exact year), it originally came about after breeding two 'mcdowelli' together. as said, they are a co-dominant heterozygous for a luecistic animal, hence if you breed two jags together you will get some normal animals, some jags and some luecistics, unfortunatly the luecis never servive long out of the egg. the beauty of the morph is that you can breed a jag to any animal and a proportion of the offspring themselves will be jags. the animal in the photos i posted are from a jag to a zebra jungle (zebrajunglejag), jag to a granit IJ (graniteIJjag). also if you breed a jag to a jag you sometimes get super jags which is like the one i posted with very reduced pattern. IMO the genetics of this morph is the key to its liking...the possabilities are endless!! look at some of the overseas forums and breeders sites, you'll see what i mean!!
here is a picture of what the breeder called a 'red eyed paradox luecistic' unfortunatly it died not to long after it hached. i belive it was hatched in japan from memory??

I thought the 'super jags' were just high quality line bred animals?
you may be right, i was under the impression that you have a higher chance of producing them with a jag x jag. i belive jag x tigers throw some outstanding animal! i have read up on it all in the past but these days i just find myself drooling at the pictures and missing some of the details....lol. im sure most can relate to that!.

As I posted before breeding jag to jag results into the super form which are leucistic but none ever seem to survive very long at all if they even make it out of the egg with one exception so far being the paradox leucistic which was born quite unhealthy,survived for a short time and also died.I think the more they outcross the more chances of a healthy living leucistic!
re Ausssie
How the story goes is that they are coastals and that there is a jag gene,coastals overseas and here also are all over the shop.The founder parents of the original jags were displayed on a website for a while,one looked a fairly typical coastal and the other like a cape tribulation type appearance,IMO its the genes of the capetribulation looking one that made the difference,gives them that light reduced pattern appearance.

yeah but I doubt if we bred even a jagish looking coastal to a Cape Trib lke animal we'd get jags and then leucistics when the jags were bred together,it would be nice to see our own produced jags without having to import them "smuggle" them from overseas.
There's many lines producing jag like animals however they won't produce leucistics and should be named something else if outstanding jag like animals get bred and it is genetic which many striped lines are!!

Nice carpet guys, Zobo that's one cool looking stripey you have there, good luck on breeding.

Carefull Browney
For many that will automatically qualify as crossbreeding.
Future is bright for these morphs, something to look forward to......
favourite pair
Enjoy!!!!

What i read, from the owner of the paradox, is that it was born quite healthy but supposedly died from the stress caused by having to manually shed the poor little thing.

Joel, that pair is stunning :shock:
Here's a pair of mine, looking forward to next few years...Female left, Male right.
I'll post pics of my RP junglefreak (Roger L) "jungle" jags (term loosely applied) when I get a chance on the weekend, they are looking hot as well!
And to top it off, my cat that, sorta proves I have a jag fetish...lol
