They wouldn't be Jaguar Jungles. They would just be Jaguar Coastal/Jungles.

Also, while we may or may not presently recognise sufficient genetic differences for the two to warrant their own subspecies, they are still distinct regional and morphological types.
I have to say that I stand with those who wouldn't like to see the genetic pool muddied any further than it already is, given how much will still have to learn in the future about these animals.
There are enough beautiful snakes in the world without people having to invent new ones. One of the attractive things for me is that the Morelia genus is (for now) pretty free of all of the "designer snake" crap that afflicts some of the other pythons.
Just my opinion.
