jaguar carpets

[yellow_python]

Can anyone help me with the genetics and history of the morph.

Who was the originator?

When a jag is bred to normal coastal i understand that 50% with be jag and 50% normal. So why do people have 50% jag or 75% jag. Surely it either is or isnt? Theres something im missing but im not sure what

The first jag was bred by Jan Eric Engell, and is a co-dominant coastal morph, which means that there is a 50% chance of each offspring from a jag to normal breeding being a jag. The normal offspring are referred to as jaguar siblings, or 'sibs'.

The percentages that are attached to animals are the result of the morph being bred into other subspecies and species of carpets. So a 75% Jungle Jaguar is a Coastal Jungle cross, that is said to have 75% jungle influence; i.e.:

Coastal Jag x Jungle = 50% jungle Jags + normal siblings
50% Jungle Jag x Jungle = 75% Jungle Jags + normal siblings
75% Jungle Jag x Jungle = 88% Jungle Jags + normal siblings

Thanks for the response

I presume its a bit like boa crosses with regards to locailty that its not much of a problem to cross coastal and jungle carpets? I think its a good idea people put what % the cross is so everyone knows exacty whats what.

but is it ok to breed the offspring to the parents

[bladeblaster]

yes.....

I have a Caramel coastal if I were to breed her to a Coastal Jag, what would I get?

25% Caramel
25% Jag
25% Caramel Jag (is this possible?)
25% normal

At last a thread about carpet %'s
what would you get if you bred a 75% jungle jag sib(female) to a jungle?

[bladeblaster]

88% jungles half jags half normals

Diamond and Jungle are species, jag is a morph.
