"On the other hand Bob did post and ask for opinions on the intermediate in the OP, so it's not a crock to answer with speculation when he asked for it."



True but I would bet the only reason he asked is because of the hullabaloo made about purity. Even so its still a crock. Whether asked or not speculating on locality or purity is completely worhtless. You either have clear data or you don't. If you don't its generic plain and simple. If there was more information out there on these I wouldn't feel this way but relative to the size of the captive population there is pretty much jack squat to go on. For the life of me I'll never understand this hanging onto scraps of incomplete information. Trying to research clear lineage to un-compromised wild caught stock I get, but not this.



I hate the term but the current situation with captive mexicana "is what it is". Unless you want to scrap the lion share of existing captive stocks and start anew trying to make it something its not is well....a crock.
