I DEFINITELY would! You never know what you're going to get! I'm trying to work on Jungle x Arabesque and Motley x Arabesque this year. If I had extra female Jungles or Motleys though, I would definitely be working on a Jungle x Motley breeding.

Joe brought up the Ball Pythons and he is absolutely right. Look at Spider x Pinstripe - both pattern morphs but the Spinner (Spider x Pinstripe) is awesome! Pastel Jungle (which can be considered a color and pattern morph hence the "jungle" x Piebald also yielded an great combo. You just don't know what you're going to get. It could be cool but it could also not be that great. I figure at the very worst, you would have an an animal carrying two genes - EVEN if it wasn't insane looking. What could you do with a male carrying both Jungle and Motley genes bred to a Hypo? Hypo Motleys AND Hypo Jungles both in one litter! In my opinion, it just has to be done. Once it's been done, if it isn't too visually appealing, then hey, at least we know!

Unfortunately, I probably won't get the chance to do a Jungle x Motley breeding for several years. I've got my Jungle and Motley girls lined up to make supers (hopefully) in the future!

Maybe someone else will want to work on it though...?

Thanks,
Celia
