OK, just kidding tim.

Paul, this may does not mean much to you, but I agree.

And I forgot all about the washing out of the pattern as another possible gene contributor.

I guess what bugs me, in short, is selective breeding to the point where people call a herp a, lets say leucistic.

I am no scholar. I did go to college, lots of math, 1 great genetics course, and I did stay at a holiday inn express TWICE!

But a selective breeding to, again a leucistic, is not the same, as an honest to goodness morph to a leucistic. This is not much of an issue in corns, but I see it in other areas. And maybe I'm totally wrong on this point too. It's been known to happen! lol

Thanks Paul, Your posts are always good to read.
