Hi Greg,

I saw that, and I have a female that is Almost IDENTICAL to yours. It is in the IFFY range. I was going to reply to your post below, but you got a lot of opinions.

Here is the thing about your snake. The FIRST half does look like a Jungle. They have the whites in the Saddles that appear like a Jungle. However, the Tail is more toward the normal side. That is the only thing that throws me off. Jungle tails are usually brighter. Either way, that is an awesome animal.

I really do think you have a GOOD chance of that being a Jungle. The tail is the only thing that makes me believe normal. So, it is DEFINATLEY worth the risk, and I would have kept that if I were Pete because it is a Female.

The problem with the Salmon Jungles, is the coloration and sometimes pattern gets muted when using both genes. So, with the Salmon jungle, some of the normals may just be awesome Salmons, and so, it can be very tough. I thought I had just a NICE salmon with my Salmon Jungle when she was born, but as she grew, she kept a lot of color, and she looked more on the jungle side. I got lucky, and I'm glad I kept her.

I think you have an awesome snake there, and I would NOT be surprised if she produced Jungles. That animal you have there is why the JUNGLE gene is a tough one. They are HARD to tell.

I hope it hits for you Greg.


Jeremy
