"but collecting a het from the wild? Now that is some big number!"

Not only is that a big number, how would it be calculated? What factors would be considered, and how would these factors be measured? To date, this is one known het out of ALL the annulata ever collected!

Then if you have a het, how are you going to know? I had the het female for three years and never had a clue! From this expereince, I make it a point to inbreed some of the offspring and/or back breed to the parents. Yes, I know this is not generally accepted procedure nor politically correct, but I think the reason is clear. I rarely get what might be a bad mutation or deformaty. When I do, it is in the freezer, no questions asked.
