Hi guys,



the animals in the picture are from het albino to het albino "honduran" breeding.

Nothing surprising you'd say cause there seem to be many hybrids in the "honduran" color morph scene today.



The problem might be, that those are F2's from the german original albino strain mixed with nothing else and yes, you are right, these are either polyzona or polyzona x stuarti animals. That means that all albino "hondurans" and its related morphs are nothing but hybrids, all the way. Each "het albino" and "het snow" is nothing but a hybrid.



I researched a long time on this cause many albino hondurans did look odd to some friends of mine an dme as well. When I started to search for them over here, I found the original breeder and the original stock cause a few het. animals stayed here.



When I started to read the stories in the US-mags about how the animals went over the pond I found the mistakes in translation and understanding.



The lines sounded like "the adults came from an importer in the netherlands, who brought them to the Hortenbachs". For sure they came from an importer and were imported animals cause they were imported from the Netherlands to the GDR (Eastern Germany). It was kind of paper work and more before the wall came down to get stuff over the border.

The animals were all the way captive born in NL why else could there be one imported animal and a year later another imported animal and both are het albino. Could they both have been het. albino wildcaughts? Hard to believe.



Why were they called hondurans anyway, that's pretty easy to answer. The guys who got those snakes saw a bigger chance in getting money out of it by calling them hondurans cause of all the possible morphs.



Hope you enjoyed the story and the step back in history,

Gerrit



Below is a real polyzona from Mexico.
