but remember, the original bloods were started in the late '70s and early '80s. Herps were not "mainstream" back then and herp keepers and collectors were a rather small, fairly close-knit group back then. There were not as many introduced herps in Florida back then, and still aren't too many in NORTH Florida - most are in south Florida. But anything is possible.

I also am not anti - hybrid, although I am not into them myself (except creamsicles - of course, emoryi were just subspecies of corns when creams were first started, although taxonomists have given them their own species now). However, many people really hate hybrids, so it is important to try (whenever possible) to know when lines are hybrids, so those who care can avoid them if they want to.
