The Jungle gene messes with color and pattern in the ways already described. Of course there are MANY genes that also affect these same colors and patterns. It really depends on the genetic makeup of the "normal" along wit the specific line.

Not all jungles are created equal, they have been crossed with many different lines of normals with varying degrees of expression of the jungle gene.

I have no idea of what the "best" normal to cross looks like, nor do I know the multitude of lines there are out there. I do have two clear high expression jungles from Mark Hauge. They are siblings to the one Bob re-posted from Phil. They are F2's from the Barker line as Mark purchased a pair of sibling jungles from them and bred them to produce a stellar litter of clear supers, jungles and normals. Not one possible in the lot!!

I also have some salmon possible jungles produced by Pete Kahl - Night and day difference between them all!!!

Bo Peep, female jungle from Mark,


Woody, male jungle from Mark,


Amber, super salmon, pos jungle from Pete,





Snickers, Salmon pos jungle from Pete,



Feel free to correct me where I've missed something or plain have it wrong, I'm learning like all of us!!!
