Zebra Jungle Carpet Pythons at AAR

Zebra Jungle Carpet Pythons (Morelia spilotes cheynei)

With a crazy busy pinstripe pattern and nice jungle carpet python yellow and black bold contrast, the Zebra is a eye-popping pattern morph of the jungle carpet python. The zebra mutation is passed on in a "co-dominant" manner, so breeding a zebra to a normal jungle results in approximately half zebra jungle carpets and half normal jungle carpet pythons. Breeding two zebra jungle carpets together results in some of the offspring that are patternless supers. We aquired one of the first zebras, which was imported into the United States in 2008. We have named our zebra Grevy (as suggested by our friend Jeremy), after a type of zebra (the equine kind). An '07 female zebra was aquired in early 2009, and named her Doli, after the zebra (equine kind again) subgenus, Dolichohippus, keeping with the theme of naming Grevy. The two zebras will be paired in 2009-2010 season to hopefully produce a super zebra or two in 2010! We produced a nice clutch of zebra jungles by breeding Grevy to our Python Pete female Lilly in 2009, which resulted in some amazing zebra jungle carpet pythons! We held back a male and several female zebras to improve color and to produce a bunch of super zebras in a few years. This should be a great project! GET ADDICTED!
