Introducing the desert jungle russo

I am not sure what to call this mutation but it is a three gene cross using my jungle line with desert and russo het white diamond. This seems almost as bright as the pastel version I hatched last season but the russo added some kick in the blushing near the belly. I hope you like it.

That thing is flippan sweet. Amazing combo. Can we see a pic of one of your jungles by itself? Thanks.

I too am interested in seeing a jungle by itself. From my understanding it is not so much a morph but more of a trait.... Is this correct?

Really nice. I'd be proud to have it in my collection.

Honestly, I can't answer that at this time. That could be a correct statement and more breeding needs to take place with it. I only know of one other breeder (Ben Renick) working with something like this that has proven genetic. This is my third year producing and next season I hope to get a result or two or three to see if a super form is possible. I can tell you that this has two forms, a pattern version and a color version which is very unique. The following are pictures showing the two different versions of the same cross.

Beautiful snake, I love anything with desert in it. Great contrast as well.

My gosh that's a gorgeous animal! All of them!

Those are interesting!

It's good to see someone working with the Russo's in a different way..

Thank you, This was not what I wanted to do last season but I didn't have anything else to use in the BEL group. I really wanted to pair her to my leopard pied which is what is on her agenda this season. If I am very lucky her daughter, a black pastel russo will be paired as well. I am curious as to the color of a leopard russo.
