If you read my post a few tabs below, you will see that i am wondering if a "normal" looking jungle from a well reputed breeders clutch of jungles will have actuall jungle patterned and coloured babies, even when bred to a normal female. I have nooo idea about the genetics but as to my understanding it is a co-dominant trait that means half of the babies will have it roughly and half wont. NOW this is where i get confused. Jaguar carpet pythons , the ones that arent jaguar out of a clutch of jaguars do not carry that genetic.....so how does a normal looking jungle do it, lol

asking lots of questions because i am about to do a purchase of a this "normal" looking jungle, and am sure of the origins and 100% trust the seller, butwant to be sure that this is the right project for me, as i want a bit of results, so that i am not discouraged with droping big bucks in the future!!

thanks, adam rivers.

Well, if it's a Jungle it's not "normal"...I'm sure you mean less than abberant Jungle...looks more "normal" than "some" Jungles you see, but still not a normal from a Jungle litter. If you have a NORMAL from a Jungle litter, you will not produce Jungles using that animal in any breedings. If you buy a Jungle that just isn't very abberant, but is still in fact a Jungle, you will produce Jungles when you breed to a normal and your resulting babies will also show variances in the amount of "Jungle" showing up from one baby to the next. Hope that makes sense...Salmons-some sell them graded, Jungles-some sell them graded, Motleys-some sell them graded, the genes are still there in the lower end animals, they just aren't quite the head turners as the higher end animals, but they all will pass on the trait. Hope that makes sense, I re-read it and can see where I might come off confusing at the beginning-LOL, good luck, take care
