NOW WHAT EXACTLY are you getting at?? Are you assuming that the Blaze Phase is actually a Hybrid?? I think I mentioned this before but since somebody obviously never paid attention here we go again...............
Once upon a time a small Canadian Herper (that would be ME) visited his friends (that would be Chris & Sheila) in Fort Myers, we had a legnthy discussion as to how these beautuful snakes came about. It's been a 12 year project of Sheila's when these little red goins started showing up, they figured MAYBE they would be just considered a 'hypo' however they contacted Bill & Kathy Love (well respected names in the Herp circle for some 30 years) & it was then the Hypererthistic (Spelling??) was identified, in addition to that Bern Bechtel assessed these snakes, I SURE some of you know who HE is. Anyway not to get sidetracked here but when in Fort Myers I myself saw several generations of this line Sheila has been working with. Some of these creatures would warrant wearing sunglasses to look at them they has such intense color. I was quite impressed in addition to the Goins....... Chris has established the whitesided aka Ghost Everglades ratsnake, they have produced patternless black ball pythons as well as numerous other accomplisments in the Herptoculture scene. I would like to know all of you guys who are stating or insinuating that the Blaze Phase is NOT the real deal........ what exact credentials do you have in genetics to make such an assumption?? Are you guys legit Herpetologists??Geneticists?? Biologists?? Come on kids??? What is YOUR claim to fame Sean???? How many years experience have you had with workin with several generations of captive bred snakes...... specifically Goins. Or are you just some 'self proclaimed Guru' who happens to own a few Goins??? I've seen your hybrid bashing in here before so we all know your position on that & hey you know what they say about opinions....... 'opinions are like cloacas'........ & EVERYBODY has one 
The way I see it is when somebody's business involves blood, sweat & tears in trying to perfect these various color morphs, then to have somebody in here start bashing it all to cow-patties you'd best have your facts straight before spilling any of these 'Devine revelations' In other words you really shouldn't say something you can't back up in court.
All I did was merely respond to a post where some individual was looking for some nice striped or patternless goins. Anyway........ thats enough time wasted in here on THIS subject, thank God I have a life outside these forums............
& to think I thought the Indigo Forum was full of Drama Queens
have a good one folks!!!
