Yes, of course. I didn’t start out as a locality breeder.

In 1984, I bought my first pair of alterna from Tom Taylor in Tempe – they were generics. I produced one clutch of generic alterna in 2000. Presently, I have nine alterna in my collection that are considered “generic”, three from Ric Blair, four from Craig Hodgson, and two from a California breeder that shall go nameless. All these alterna were acquired prior to the new listing standard, and will be voided soon. I’ll probably give them away to kids at the next herp show I attend.

I wanted to add another alternative to my standards for proof, Occam's razor. Should that be an acceptable standard?
