Mark,Very nice IJ Jags, the colour and pattern are top notch.Could we just clarify exactly what they are though as you state "07 75% Reduced pattern Irian Jaya Jags". This doesn't ring true as the female parent was a 50% Irian Jaya Jaguar that you bought from me as a baby in '05. Any reduced influence could only possibly result to 50% although there would be 75% IJ influence overall.Cheers,Paul.

Paul,They are 75% Irian jaya jags,thats what I was referring to in the title.
The reduced part comes from the male as he is a Reduced pattern Irian Jaya (so called New Guinea).

If you look at the pics I think that you will see that they have a REDUCED pattern?What would you call them Paul?

Mark,As I said before very nice pattern and colour. The name is a bit difficult, I guess I would call them 75% Irian Jaya Jaguars (with 50% reduced pattern influence) although that's a bit of a mouthful Very Happy

Mark,
You can call your snakes whatever you want, you don't need my permission Confused

The problem might arise next year though when the 50% Reduced pattern Irian Jaya Jaguars that I hatched in '05 and '06 (from breeding a reduced pattern IJ male to a coastal jag female) are bred back to reduced pattern IJ's, by myself and one or two others. I would think that they would be called "75% Reduced Pattern Irian Jaya Jaguars" but you already have that name for a different mix of jag. Just thinking ahead and trying to avoid any confusion.

Once again, lovely jags that you have produced regardless of what you call them Smile

Mark,I don't use the term "New Guinea" for the reduced pattern animals as I think it's misleading, there's no evidence at all to support the suggestion that they come from that side of the island.
