Black and white jungle morph

[luke_cairns_QLD]

Hey all, I'm fairly new to breeding and was wondering how rare the B&W morph in the jungle carpets is, and weather or not there is a trick to it, thanks Luke

You can get them for about $500-$800 each, depending on quality.

What do you mean by a trick to it?

 

[luke_cairns_QLD]

As in when picking a breeding partner is it better to breed with a different sub species, that kind of trick, well general knowledge I should say, I own an atherton jungle, and he's very bright, I am at the moment looking for a future breeding female and have always wanted to breed B&W's

black and white jungles are just a locality just like black and gold jungles are locality

 

[Serpentess]

No cross breeding.... If you want to breed b&w jungles what you want to look for is a pair of Julatten jungles.

 

[matt123]

Oh thanks tassie

Because to breed B & W you need B & W snakes

That said, I've seen so many jungles being put up for sale as golds, or whites that are anything but. Annoys the hell out of me.

 

[wranga]

Too right, you can't say that because a jungle isn't b&g it has to be b&w. There is an inbetween. Here's a black and white jungle in my opinion.

that is one hot snake you have there mate bet your happy with that one

 

[Seb84]

newbie question
what would happen if u breed a black and gold with a black and white, would you just get 50/50 of each or is there more to it?
sorry never bred any reptiles or snake before.

Sorry Matt I should've said, unfortunately that's not my snake =( but it's at the top of my list in jungles, if not all morelias, at the moment. Can't find them like that anywhere.

Sez84 there is certainly more to it. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of genes that go into human skin colouration and it's the same with reptiles. The crossing of chromosomes, which gives you the mix between maternal and paternal genes, is entirely random. So in a clutch like you said there would be a majority with colours between the parents with a few more similar to one or the other. The gene for albinism is a mutation of a single gene which is why it's either homo- either way or hetero-. But in the overall colour it's much more complicated. Make any sense?
