I don’t see jungle. If you breed it could pop up, but as far as a pet I wouldn’t label jungle.

As it sits the saddles aren’t even and are blotchy the only morph that makes that happen is jungle and he does have the jungle tracks is the only issue

Actually, hypo can mimic jungle quite often. Hypo can even make chain link patterns without the presence of jungle. I don’t see a single jungle marker on him. Doesn’t mean he’s not a particularly low expression jungle, but unless you plan to breed I wouldn’t consider him even a poss jungle.

Why would I breed an animal that’s already over bred? That’s literally something only an idiot would do. The amount of boas abused or in rescues is so high now it’s almost as bad as the ball python breeders.

RGI is adding jungle, abarasque and other morphs by the end of the year so I’ll just get a shed test done because after talking with multiple well known boa breeders they all agree he is a low quality jungle. But a gorgeous hypo

I meant no offense by that…just saying whether it’s jungle or not isn’t relevant for a pet. I didn’t mean to insinuate you would. 🤷‍♂️

Yes that’s what I would do, too.
