I think I have a jungle (pic inside)...

I can't believe it myself, but I broke down and paid $250 for this snake. I guess he was worth it. Of course I am full of it. This is Pete Kahl's jungle pic from "The Boa Constrictor Manual".

P.S. Hope I don't get a bill for posting this.

Hey all, Honestly I have no idea what this guy will ever do or produce....but he sure is soooo nice I had to keep him. What do you think? Should I try the breeding test too?? He does have some cool colors that I just cannot capture with my camera or my skills as a photo junky, but here he is, Thanks Andy

Your snake has some great color. He definitley is not a jungle. Though there have been some good pics posted, sometimes you just have to see the real thing in person in order to appreciate it. You have to look at all the little things with jungles (the outlined saddles, no speckling, the head markings, color, aberrancies or not). You have to take in the snake as a whole. There is not one characteristic that makes a jungle a jungle. It is a collection of many attributes. You snake is great. He/she will produce killer babies. But a jungle he is not. That snake may be the biginning of something new for you, but not yet. Good luck.

That isn't a jungle; but I'm interested none the less, is that a HogXhypo Or a HogXSuri? Or is it somthing else all together?

Thanks, he is one of the normals from my Salmon / Pastel breeding. Actually there were two types of normals in the litter, these kind, and the regular normal kind. Here are two brothers, and also the killer hypo is a sister as well. Thanks Andy

I added some extra pics, but they are all from the same litter.

I would like to see pics of the parents Because those look juct like my Sunset litter(D&M line hpoXhogs bred together to make super hypo's that are half hog). And in this breeding you get three diferent distinct looking ofspring The Sunsets(supers), The HypoXhogs(co-dom),the 50-50 non hypo crosses which still look rather pastell.
