Last I checked it was like this (I'm going to use common names to make it faster):

A lot of the "kenyans" we have now are crosses between the kenyan and the egyptian subspecies. The Bell line albinos come from the egyptians, and the paradox from the true kenyans. What we have in the pet trade was so interbred to create the morphs that we can't prove one is 100% kenyan (orange) or 100% egyptian (yellow).

That wisdom may be out of date. I've seen the theories change so many times that I've quit keeping track.

>>Hi Jeff! Thanks for the reply. Pretty interesting stuff. There's not much available reading material on the origins of different morphs, so this is a tough subject to research. I have seen some vague references that seemed to suggest that some Kenyans are not from "pure" loveridgei lines. I don't know what that was all about.
