>>Below I have posted pics of the hatchlings from the '05 Tiger x Jag clutch after their fist shed. After carefully studying their characteristics, I have divided them into a few different categories: Tiger-Jags, Jags (including Hypos), Siblings, and Siblings with minor Tiger influence.
>>
>>There are three I would consider true Tiger-Jags, and they all look like the one we produced last year. Most notably, they have incredible dorsal stripes, beautiful copper/red pattern that fades toward the tail, extremely light and clean ground color, reduced pattern, & orange eyes. I think these animals represent a beautiful blend of the two morphs.

>>Tiger-Jags (I think the top one is my absolute favorite!)

>>This one appears to be a Tiger with Jaguar influence. I think Collin said it best; "Looks like the ends of two different snakes were put together, lol."
>>
>>
>>Jaguars
>>There are definitely some exquisite Jaguars in this clutch. While most of them are striped, and some have reduced patterns, ...I would not consider these to be actual "Tiger-Jags."
>>

>>These two look pretty similar to the Tiger-Jags, but they have slightly different/darker colors -- and if you look closely their patterns are a little different, too.
>>
>>
>>I love this one! ...so clean!!! The white "ovals" going down the laterals are quite unique (Tiger?).
>>
>>
>>Siblings
>>It's amazing to me how many of the Siblings have stripes.
