Jaguar × Tiger
Carpet python — what the clutch can be, if both parents show only these genes.
The clutch
| 25% | Jaguar Tiger | |
| 25% | Jaguar | |

Out of every 16
What every 16 hatchlings from this pairing would look like.
- Jaguar Tiger4 in 1625.0%
- Jaguar4 in 1625.0%
- Tiger4 in 1625.0%
- Normal4 in 1625.0%
Percentages are what each hatchling has a chance of being, not a promise about the clutch. A clutch of six can come out any way at all.
Documented health finding. Animals carrying a single copy of Jaguar — which is every animal sold as a Jaguar — are widely documented to show neurological signs: head-wobble, corkscrewing and disorientation, more pronounced under stress and while feeding. The severity varies between individuals, and it does not reliably improve with age. This is associated with the gene itself rather than being an occasional defect.
Documented health finding. Two copies are understood not to be viable. Breeding two Jaguars together is expected to lose about a quarter of the clutch, and every surviving animal from such a pairing that shows the morph is a single-copy Jaguar.
Worked out by treating each gene separately and combining the results, which is how these are inherited. Inheritance for Carpet python morphs is established by breeders through repeated crosses rather than published genetics, except where a morph page says otherwise — how this is put together.
