Jaguar genetics question

vjl4 Nov 15, 2005 12:36 PM

Hey all,

I am mostly a milksnake guy, but have a beautiful IJCP (WP now I take it) and have been looking at getting a jag beacuse they are amazing (almost tiger retic looking). From what I have been seeing the jag trait has been called co-dom, but I am not sure why this is so and have been thinking that it is just dominant. Have there been any jagXjag breedings that produce super-jags? Not sure what that would look like though, maybe patternless.

Thanks,
Vinny

Look up at the forums sponsors and go to Anthony’s site. He has great info on Carpets; husbandry and on morphs.
Good luck!

Go check out www.jaguarpython.com It will answer ALL of your questions. Just do a little research on that site...no question goes unanswered.

Thanks, that was a great site. Seems obvious to just type jaguarpython.com in and see what happens too, but it never occured to me. Bummer though, from the breeding stats posted there for jaxXjag it looks like the jag trait is homozygous lethal, so if it is co-dom no supers. Ah well, just going to avaid jagXjag breedings.

Hi It's been forever since I've posted on Kingsnake. Generaly I hang out on moreliapythons.com.. Any how.. To answer your question on breeding jag to jag, which I personaly havent done yet, but just to pass on the info I know.
Jag to Jag produces jags, super jags, and leusictics. The Super Jags have been surving just fine, the leusictics are the "fatail" gene. To the best of my knowage the leusictic morph in most specices is a touchy one. What I belive and I also think that most jag breeders belive is that the jag trait isn't out crossed enough to start to get live/viable lues yet. My plans are to raise a few of my jags up, and hopefully trade a female jag for a female jag of out crossed lines.
Hope this helps, jags are plenty fun on their own, they are just so vairalbe, you really don't know what your going to get..
