I did not breed these. They were produced by The Urban Python out of Canada. My pair was produced from a Hypo Jaguar Coastal Carpet from the original Swedish line, so they would be considered Hypo Jaguar Siblings. The male was the result of a Hypo Jaguar x Hypo Jaguar Sibling. The female was produced from a Hypo Jaguar x Normal. "Normal" coastals produced from Hypo Jaguar breedings look 'different'....

For the history of the Jaguar coastals read this:

Daniel, I have seen his website before and he definitely has some awesome animals especially the boelens. After all that and it still resembles a normal jungle? I wonder how the babies will turn out if you chose to breed it.

I really like how he is marked. How old?

They do resemble a normal jungle.....just like most carpets...they resemble one another when young.....however, the truth is in the size. Once full grown these will sail past the 8' mark.......you will never see a jungle do that. The Jaguar sibling female that produced my male was 9' plus :D

As far as breeding is concerned, I am also interested in the pairing. To my knowledge only several breedings between Jag. sib x Jag. sib have taken place.....the ones that I have heard of result in a variety of offspring, but have not produced any jaguars yet. However, jag siblings produce an interesting array of animals when breed to a jaguar. The genetics of the trait is still 'up in the air' as far as I am concerned........I am still waiting for someone to produce a leucistic coastal from a jag x jag breeding that actually lives more than a few hours.

If you look at the available page, my pair are still up....male(TUP-SIB-D05-044) and female (TUP-SIB-A05-019). The male is a August 2005 hatchling and the female is a June 2005 Hatchling. I actually chose the male for his more intense markings....if you compare him to his offspring, he looks 'different' IMO...black is a bit more black...yellow is a bit brighter.

He looks good! Reminds me of my friend's carpet python, Hades :)

Such a sweet face for a God of war.... :P
