About

Jaguar is an incomplete dominant mutation.

Issues

The Jag Reticulated Python has a genetic disorder referred to in the hobby as a “wobble”. “Wobbles” can range from almost unnoticeable to worryingly severe on an individual basis and is one of the most highly debated and controversial topics in the reptile world, with many experienced breeders and keepers on both sides of the debate. “Wobbles” are often more noticeable during feeding and agitation and can be affected by stress and husbandry.
