>>Importers/dealers do not get their stock only from imports the get it from breeders who wholesale out their reptiles as well. Importers typically pull from whatever resources they can find whether they are from other countries or this one.

If the stock came from the breeders, then we're back to the problem of why aren't morphs being found in the Glades.

Remember, according to the folks here on the forum, by the early 90s all the breeders were wholesaling tons of hets. So we're stuck with four possibilities to explain the lack of morphs being caught:

1. only imported burms were released;
2. the release/releases occurred before hets were common in the trade;
3. hets are not actually as common in the pet trade as has been claimed; or
4. morphs have poor survival in the wild, so they are dying before being found.
