History

Appearance
Body
The name came from the blocky saddles with rosettes that were similar to Jaguar spots on the wild cat. This is not related to the reverse striping often seen in the mutation. [2]
The jaguar gene is a dominant color and pattern morph. This gene brings in bright vibrant colors through out the boa. [3]
Tail
spongy pattern along the back and tail. [4]
Controversy
The original CA line of Jaguar was called Tiger.
Jaguar/Tiger (incomplete dominant) CA reverse stripe looking boas were originally called Tigers, but later changed to Jaguar. This line Is believed originated from Isle De La Bahia, Honduran boas.
Note: Many CA boas have made reverse stripe boas and this line seems rather variable in producing them in litters. [5]
As CA often throw reverse stripe and patternless, some don’t believe it’s been made regularly enough to strictly be labeled a morph. Some believe it to be recessive with the homogeneous being the reverse stripe. The linage was not managed very well. [6]
Proven Lines

Related Traits
Double Reverse Stripe (DRS)
The Double Reverse Stripe is a recessive gene that embeded into the jaguar gene and cannot be bred out because of the dominant trate of the jaguire gene.
The Jaguar Double Reverse Strip (DRS) boa is a recessive trait which gives the boa a double reverse stripe along the back and or tail of the boa. The offspring from this litter are jaguar in appearance, but are heterozygous for the DRS. [7]
