New female zebra jungle

[jgjulander]

Just picked up a nice female zebra jungle carpet python. I am happy with the way she looks, especially considering she was the last '07 female available in the US. I named her Doli (hope that's OK, Ben) as the subgenus that includes Grevy's zebra (our male zebra jungle is named Grevy) is Dolichohippus, so I thought Doli would fit. I say it "dolly", but I am not sure that is correct. Need to brush up on latin or something. Hoping to produce some supers next season! Anyway, here she is, just after a nice rat.

nice... i need to get a zebra off you guys if you have any for sale... and if my budget allows for that sorta thing.

Good deal!

What's that subgenus? Never heard of that...

*EDIT* I thought it was a carpet python subgenus...

[jgjulander]

Thanks guys. They are pure Morelia spilota cheynei, just a pattern morph of the jungle carpet python. The super is a yellow patternless jungle carpet. That is the main reason we picked this girl up, to produce super zebras with our male zebra jungle.

Good luck on producing those supers

Has anyone in the US produced supers yet? I've only come across supers being mentioned in the UK.

Very nice. As far as I've heard supers are only in the UK.

[waltah!]

Awesome pickup!! She's a looker....good luck with the super!

If you don't mind me asking, how do you know they're pure?

How do you know jags are pure? It's a morph found only to occur within a subspecies. (yes, I'm aware of the coastal jag debate) Jags/coastal Zebra/jungle Granite/Irian Jaya Wonder what morph will come from diamonds. You get other types of morphs by breeding to that subspecies.

Zebras are pretty sure to be pure as I believe there has been no documented outcrossing to other subspecies.. and I think they can be traced to an original WC individual?

I'm still relatively new to all morelia so please correct me if I've mis-spoken.
