jags?

is the jag a morph? I've read a lot and there are lots of people who refer to it as a morph, but then others say its not... sooo.... which one is it. ?


new member, first post, il make sure to post a pic of my new coastal, abigale, soon :-)

it is most definitely a morph... it's a cornerstone of the carpet morphs. kinda like the pastel or spider is to balls.

As Colin said, yes it is definitely a morph. The jaguar mutation originated in the coastal carpet python, and has since been bred into just about every subspecies and type of carpet. It is a "co-dom" morph and breeding a jag to a normal results in half jags and half normals, or sibs (short for jaguar siblings). Two jaguars bred together produce a super jag, which is a leucistic carpet python. Unfortunately, no luecistics have made it past a few weeks of life. Some kind of lethal mutation involved. There are some beautiful jags out there.

thanks for clearing that up...

I've always liked carpets but i just got my first a couple weeks ago. and come to find out all the addiction rumors are true:-) I love the jag pattern and im also a huge fan of stripes, I know petersonreptiles has striped coastals but doe anyone know of breeders that have tigers and other striped carpets. I knew a guy that had an awesome nearly solid striped jungle and I loved it, have yet to find another one though. thanks for the help:-)

nick mutton and michael pennell have really nice, pure coastals with complete or partial striping. jason baylin has some of the best tigers out there... they're are tons of them out there.

and welcome to the carpet world.. they're awesome for sure!

So much to see in this world of morelia!!!! Good luck!

I've talked to penn before...although im sure he wouldn't remember me, he hasn't brought much to the past couple shows and his website doesn't display a lot of what he has. im sure il be asking him for some ij,son though... il go check out the others and see what's out there...

thanks again for the help:-) its cool to actually find a forum that people respond in

we love our morelia here. :)

I'll be joining the world of Morelia soon:) That's if I can find something I like at the upcoming New England show. Can't wait!

I will be bringing more to the shows in the near future. My website is in the process of being redone and it is a PAIN!! :tears:
I would rather spend my time cleaning and feeding! LOL!
Which shows have you been to?
I will be at the next Arlington expo wekkend after next.

I've seen you at just about all the austin expos I've been to... the one just recently we were at your table for a while with cueball... my girlfriend was talking to you about getting an albino ball and you said we had to wait until it fed three times in a row. were still interested in that btw, so whenever that becomes available you've got a customer. :)

of course, we're interested....
i hope you have some baby boy albino balls at the austin show in december, mr. penn..
i really really want one.. and i would like to buy one from you.. :)
