There is no difference.

As a keeper and admirer of the morph, I can tell you that they are one and the same.

I've actually been wondering about a lot of the acronyms and short terms used, and googling hasn't given me satisfying answers. What are hets, RPMS/Jags (which you say are the same - why are they called that)? Also MD's and a few of the other acronyms confuse me. I figured out GTS, GTP, BHP ie the more well known snakes, but not some of the others.

 

[666PYTHON]

yea like wat are they?

Put the ones you need help with up, im sure we can help

 

[girdheinz]

Het = heterozygous for a single gene trait

MD = Murray Darling carpet python

RPMs = Reduced pattern morelia (same as a jag, a coined aussie name)

Jag's = Jaguar carpet pythons, single gene co dominant mutation for reduced pattern

thanks girdheinz thats all i wonted to no

cheers

As I see them I will Thanks for the clear explanations girdheinz, that helps me. So a het would have, for instance, both albino and normal genes, one dominant one recessive? Is that correct? Or is it two albino in the pair (using the example)?

Sorry about semi-hijacking the thread PYTHON

Hod on RPM's aren't always jags, there are plenty of RPM's that originated from pure aussie stock that don't come with the imported jag gene with all it's associated problems. I've seen pure jungles etc that i would classify as RPM's and they are definately not Jags.

That's one thing this place doesn't have. An acronym sticky thread...

 

[666PYTHON]

thats aright hydrogoat you word it betta then me anyway

 

[fabregasreptiles]

isn't rpm=reduced pattern modified ??? rpm-jag

rp is much different only having a reduced pattern

Hey Ben, not correct I'm afraid, I seem to be one of the last who still remembers when and where all this RPM business started but RPM is definitely not the same as a pure Aussie line Reduced Pattern animal.

isn't rpm=reduced pattern modified ??? rpm-jag

100% correct. For the love of Gawd, don't make me go dig up the very first thread on the subject of RPMs, because I do remember it. Soooo... tired...of this subject....

 

[larks]

Yes that is correct RPM does stand for reduced pattern modified, first used by SXR. RP first popped up when Joel Faustino used it to describe his reduced pattern prossies.

Like this guy, just as good looking as a Jag without all the head twirling business!
