A few jungle questions.

pithons Mar 05, 2009 08:41 PM

Can someone confirm my limited information on Jungle boas. I assume they are Co-dom. So does that mean a jungle bred to a normal will equal half jungles and half norms. Tell you the truth, I can barley tell the difference between a jungle and a norm. How do breeders tell the difference when they sell you a jungle. Can someone explain to me or show pics the difference between a jungle and a norm. If its that hard to tell the difference in norms, then how can one tell the difference between a jungle mot and a mot or a jungle arabsq and an arb?

Where did the jungle line come from. And is the difference between the super jungle and jungle is that the super is mostly stripped. Thanks again

The Jungle Gene is codom. SO you should get 50% Jungles just like you would get breed a Motley to a normal. Some times the odds are in your favor where you get 60% . Then other times you get a very low #. Then it comes into telling the difference. Here are some Keys I use in telling what are Jungles.
1. OF COURSE pattern (thats an easy one)
2. Side seperation. IF you look at the side of a Jungle you can see the Dorsal coloration is different. Some times is very pronounced and others subtle BUT its alweys there
(look at Hypo Jungle Pic)
3. The then Tail saddles "float" the sit very high and don't rap around the tail (look at albino Jungle pic)
4. The are also "cleaner" then then the other babies. You NEVER have a Litter that u can't tell what are Jungles. It might hard for a person breeding them for the 1st time. But once You know what to look for its easy. Its also very important Buy from a person you can trust. I have sold ALOT of JUNGLES. Some where "low expression" and Most people would say some are Not Jungles But they always PROVE OUT!!!!! Thats why they are my Favorite morph. You Never know what you are going to get when you breed them!!!!!
