Can anyone predict the colouring our pythons will get? I'm hoping they will go yellow or white, but I can't tell. I saw earlier in this thread that someone posted a pic of a hatchie pre shed, and it was similar in colour to these, and someone said it would go a real vivid yellow. How can you tell?

Here they are

 

[GeckoJosh]

When people predict colours like that its usually based on what the parents look like and possibly how previous clutches have turned out.
Nearly all Jungles look like yours at that age.
What colour were the parents?

 

[kawasakirider]

I saw the mother, she was a nice looking snake but I can't remember if she was more yellow or greeny brown. This would be due to my ignorance, I didn't know jungles were usually yellow when I bought them. I guess time will tell I'll ask the breeder now and see what I am told.

 

[Fantazmic]

you will know whether they will be yellow or white based on the locality of the parents....if the bubbie snake is going to be white it will be a julatten......they are the white ones

 

[kawasakirider]

Ok, no drama's. Thanks for the replies. I really like owning snakes, it's a great new experience

A lot of Jungles wont turn out to be a high yellow, if you want a high yellow jungle and your buying a hatchie then do some research on the line your buying and the quality of the parents, then if your lucky you may get a stunner

 

[kawasakirider]

Yeah, I more than likely won't. Doesn't matter, I still like them

High yellow or not yours has a very nice dorsal stripe, and he seems like a great handler!!, thats a top Jungle imo

 

[kawasakirider]

Thanks! There are actually two snakes in those pics, one is the female and the other is the male, they both have the prominent dorsal stripes. Why are these sought after? I guess I got lucky in regards to handling, they aren't snappy at all

The male is in the first pic, he's easy to tell because he kinda has a penis on his head (excuse the vulgarity lol) the balls and the rest aren't connected, so he definitely looks like the male haha. The female has a similar thing but it's all in one shape.

Hi Geckoman...love the SXR you just posted reminds we of my Alvin on my avatar and attached who is also SXR. I didnt think he looked like simons breeding so much but looking at your jungle I think he is very similar looking what do you think ?
