It's not my fault you foolishly chose to look at a photo posted by another member on page 1 while reading my posts. If you can't differentiate between my words and anothers members photos then more fool you I am afraid. .
Get over it peoples..... Jags are a poor mans morph..... no cutting edge, not difficult to produce.... co-dom morphs are mass produced easier than any others. Mark my words, the price of jags wont just drop, they drive themselves into the ground, one jag male can produce hundreds of jags a year. When jags are a dime a dozen (which they will be) all the jokers who thought that hybridising them was where it was at, will realise the fad had a life-span shorter than ostrich farming. The smuggling, the shaddow games, will all have a pay day, short as it may be... the hoardes that jump on the bandwagon.... suckers is a term that comes to mind. Jags will be run of the mill before they surface, if you dont already have an adult jag, you will have missed the boat. The mutt makers will call jags the grail, spose they will be.... a morph sub-specifically questionable right back to day dot.
Now I know that there will be all those "jags are pure coastals......" . Whatever! How long have we been waiting for Jan Erics tell all article? So its just an article.... tell you what, go to his web site and cut and paste some information for me.... in my opinion, you dont disappear if you dont have anything to hide....
Sure you can buy a pretty, arguably hybrid, obvious progeny of smuggling, if you have the money..... though the thing about integrity is if you really have some, its priceless.
Maybe a "hybrids of two pure species" thread would suit your comments better? I'm sure there is one on this site some where...
I'm sure I made this comment about line-breeding once and people shot me down. It's nice to know I'm not the only one looking at the horrible state of our domestic dog breeds and wondering why we're gonna do that to snakes too.OMG, have you seen the amount of pedigree cats & dogs around ? crossed & line bred over generations.... developing defects that are passed on to future offspring.....like alsation's with hip problems....sharpei's that have skin conditions.....the list is endless......and now they are doing it to morelia....:shock:
just to comment on a few of the things said in this thread:
On the issue of jag prices plummeting, its true and has already happened, you can curerently get them for as litttle as a few hundred dollars, people are startng to sell them to wholesalers and this year they will be even less.
The jag crossing fad here is dying quickly, but the damge is done now.
In addtion I never see anyone on this forum talk about the nuerological problems that jags have. The fact is that along with this mutation many jags develope these problems and in some cases it can be severe, animals have tremors and what almost seem like seizures, particularily when they are exited or stressed.
Is this really the way you want your hobby to go in Australia? and for what, some flashy jag crosses that nobody is going to give a crap about in a few years anyway?
