Granite Jaguar het Axanthic
This animal is a visual Granite Jaguar carrying the Axanthic allele in heterozygous form. Visually, Granite's pattern fragmentation combines with Jaguar's pattern disruption to produce a lighter, highly irregular animal with dissolved banding. The Axanthic het status is not visible and is determined through documented parentage.
Granite originates from Irian Jaya (M. s. harrisoni) and Jaguar from Coastal (M. s. mcdowelli). This is a documented subspecies cross.
The hidden Axanthic allele adds breeding value for producing Axanthic Granite Jaguars – a triple-morph combination where Axanthic suppresses yellow, creating a cool, monochromatic version of the already fragmented Granite Jaguar phenotype. As with all Jaguar combinations, mild head wobble may be present – a neurological trait associated with the Jaguar mutation that does not affect the animal's quality of life.
I couldn’t be happier with my experience working with Philip at StarPythons. From start to finish, the entire process was smooth, professional, and exceeded my expectations. Importing two carpet pythons from Europe might sound stressful, but Philip made it incredibly easy and kept me informed every step of the way. Both animals arrived safely, right on schedule, and in excellent condition. You can immediately tell they were well cared for, alert, healthy, and exactly as described. It’s clear that Philip takes pride in the quality of his animals and the service he provides. If you’re considering adding to your collection, especially through an import, I highly recommend StarPythons. This was a five-star experience all around, and I wouldn’t hesitate to work with Philip again.
