The tradeoffs, honestly

The jaguar gene brings a risk of head wobble and poor balance, from mild to severe. Breeding two zebras or jaguars risks supers that do not survive.

Common questions

What does zebra mean?

It is a trade name for a jaguar carpet with jungle bloodlines. The look varies with how much jungle is in the line, so ask for parent photos.

Does a zebra wobble?

It can. Zebras carry the jaguar gene and its neurological problems, from a mild head wobble to poor balance and corkscrewing. Watch the snake move and feed before you buy.

Which health tests matter for a carpet python?

Ask for negative IBD and nidovirus PCR results, a clear fecal and a feeding log on frozen-thawed rodents. A hatch record with the parents, and a PIT tag or microchip number where used, ties the snake to its paperwork.
