Coastal Jag Morph
is it true that this morph carries with it inherent neurological issues? i am absolutely obsessed with this morph but at the same time, for ethical reasons, i am v much against breeding weak genes - wanted to confirm this
het for nothing but groovy

I don't have the time to dig for the links but it is a known issue.
Some breeders even question the ethics of working with the gene.
"Correct" is the answer to the question.
Just curious,
You mentioned you were only interested in breeding and producing wild type animals.
Why the sudden obsession with a morph gene producing known issues?

well tbh i was rather hoping i was wrong or that the sources i saw which said this were wrong - i have eased up a little on my anti-morph positions thanks to my dwarf Burms being variations of albino - i feel comfortable with a rare but ultimately natural/wild morphs (albinos) - the jaguars i’ve been eyeing are both caramel albino *and* jaguar so that’s what peaked my interest because i think they’re super beautiful (most unfortunate about those issues)

Look into Tiger Coastals perhaps?

was considering it but idk - my original idea was introducing the caramel albino DNA into the Rockhampton locality and developing that - Caramel is a dominant trait so i thought it might be something easy to achieve without having to go several generations deep into it
