Wow, it's tough to see through the 'veiled' references here. I'd be really curious to know exactly how many people have tried to be listed and have not been able to 'prove' their case. Also, what type of 'proof' would be necessary or accepted. Seems the instructions on the alterna page are pretty clear...if you provide pictures and data you are in, right? Perhaps Joe can shed some light on this for us...How many people have submitted pedigrees and family trees and have not been accepted to the list? Not asking for names, just a number.

I'm glad you used the term 'highbred' - look it up - I'd like to modestly believe that that is exactly what I produce.

I'll make the point again that I've tried to make several times before. The fact that I or anyone produces hybrids and honestly represents them as such in no way casts doubt on the locality snakes I/we produce. It is tantamount to saying that anyone who produces generic snakes of any species cannot be trusted with their localities - or that someone who breeds locality alterna yet also produces generics cannot be trusted either as how can you be sure the snakes you are getting weren't confused with locality or generic or vice versa? What WOULD cast doubt on the person would be if they produced hybrids and CONCEALED the fact that they were hybrids. Of course then you could believe that they concealed the truth about their localities as well.
