Doug,



I think what you did is awesome and a great example to hobbyists. I have this grand vision of seeing all people involved with reptiles united in their endeavors. It's so cool when hobbyists get involved in peer-reviewed research and vice versa. I still kick myself for not doing a study of Baird's Ratsnakes genetics, since I had both locality Texas Baird's as well as some really rare pure F1's from Nuevo Leon, Mexico (see below), which are completely different in appearance from TX animals. Now, I'll have to track down the person I sold them to, if I want to make anything of it.



What you did proves that there's really quite a lot that keepers can do to add to the science that ultimately ends up in text books. Thanks for your contribution!
