I can't give out locality info for obvious reasons but most of this particular population all exhibit that brilliant ivory coloration; definitely my favorite speck. There are a few of us working with them and hopefully, will have some animals available in the future (babies are being held back).

>>Is anyone working with these(Crot. mitch. pyrrhus) or does anyone have more info on them or pics? I have just heard about these recently. I know they are highly variable throughout their range. Are the "white" ones only found in the Tinajas Altas mountains? Do they all look similar in that area or is that phase very rare kind of like finding a blonde suboc in west Texas? Any good info would be greatly appreciated.
