I am still "Gung Ho" about Mexicana because I know where mine come from....No F1s but from reputable founding breeders that would not cross subspecies for a dollar.

I have Thayeri from Louis Torres, Lee Abbott, Dan Vermilya and Tim Gebhart that I would never cross into anything else....

I TRUST these guys...

We certainly cannot play the locale game with Mexicana....AGREED?

Too bad you are jaded....I think (& many others do too) that there are still some trustworthy people in our trade.

But until we can go flip a rock in Mexico and collect our own we cannot do as the Alterna, Zonata and Pyro guys......

I know some Alterna keepers that work with locale specific snakes that have never been to West Texas....They purchased these snakes from reputable breeders that are trustworthy and they can get these snakes to reproduce and sell them as pure.



So...

Some of us Mexicana breeders frown upon hybrids and work with the "purist" form there is available in the trade at this point in time.....
