I am referring to jags and hybrids that are infertile.
******** def = a mental, Physical, or emotional problem usually associated with a genetic disorder.... to slow down, or to be less advanced.
Mutant def =A sudden structural change within a gene or chromosome of an organism resulting in the creation of a new character or trait not found in the parental type.
I am sorry if you find the term offensive, but it describes the result of breeding the jag genetics or hybrids.
No-one is bashing the animal, anyone with slight intelligence can recognise that the animal is not at fault for the way it turns out. I am simply stating how strange it is to put such a high value on these animals.
Neutral people who are smart and can find solutions to human studipity? Good luck with that pipedream!
There has to be a reason why these animals are not found occurring naturally, and I will add, that the ONLY reason they are bred or produced in captivity is in the hope that they will be a source of income, or notoriety. The reduced pattern of the jag is easily matched and beaten in pure healthy stock these days, it just takes a bit longer to acquire. People have been working for years to produce this look and it is now coming to the fore without the side effects. One major contributor to why the herp community was divided, was the fact that people smuggled into the country with no regard to Aus biosecurity, a flawed gene so that they could corner the market in RP animals, cutting the grass of dedicated people who have been working for years on solid, healthy lines.
Think what you like, we all have that right, but don't leave out the facts or the truth. I don't personally make a living off breeding snakes, I occasional breed some and sell surplus stuff at very cheap prices, so I have no real agenda except that I do care for our native wild population, and what I find out there. The reason I have this in mind is because I am totally aware of EXACTLY the role these very important animals play in our ecosystem, with out a balanced ecosystem there is no us.
