What are Jungle Balls? more....

wingert Dec 19, 2004 09:29 PM

Assuming they are not Pastel Jungles what are they? Are they unproven Pastels? Is it a particular pattern? Is it genetic? Is it just mumbo jumbo used to describe any nicer looking individual? What's da deal?

Here is a picture of a female I produced in 02. She just popped out of no where. This isn't the best pic but gives you an idea, hi color, busy pattern, lite eyes, lite area on the head and a mustache! To my knowledge the genetics haven't been figured out. I will be breeding her to her sire as soon as she sheds. Hope this helps.

Here is a male classic jungle male I produced in 2002. I've also produced two females that weren’t quite as extreme including a totally unrelated one this year. My best guess is that it seems to happen with stressed eggs but I'll probably breed him eventually just in case there is a genetic component (and he is 25% chance het stripe). Even if they haven't proved genetic in the past you never know, someone might find a genetic line some day.
