Since when did the facts matter to you?

CKing said "All alterna have silvery gray irises"

I refuted that assertion (quite easily) by going into my animal room and shooting a photo of one of my wild-caught Davis Mt alterna (see photo above).

CKing went away from the forums for several days, and when he returned, he stammered "Uh, its either not an alterna, or a mutant, or a reversal to a more primitive form".

A more principled person would have simply acknowledged THAT HE WAS WRONG!

Oh, and since the Trans-Pecos region of west Texas receives more than 10" of rainfall on average per year, it cannot be precisely described as a true Desert - since, by definition, deserts receive 10" of rainfall or less, on average, per year.
