Chris, did you even read the original post? It was asking where the patternless heads are represented. If not, why? It diverged,OMFG did it diverge, from there. Its too bad people had to resort to personal attacks instead of staying ON SUBJECT.
I never stated "no one in getula cares about locale". You inferred this.
"You freely take credit where you can... and you dish out unfounded, ridiculous critiques"-what have I taken credit for? Where have I criticized? I see in this post I am inquiring about the LACK of patternless heads, YOU infer something else.
"You have seen NO new pics for a while as I stopped posting with any regularity. Or did your keen observational eyes overlook that? I have even been way behind in taking pics.... but here again Einstein. How do you even approach the idea of asking for pics from anyone else?"--Do I have to explain to you what its like to be socially acceptable? Saying HI and complimenting you on your collection isnt enough for you I guess,lol.
"You've regurgitated the same pics for years... poor ones at that. Though it is not right to attack your photography skills... alone"--you should check out the forum more often, plenty of new pics!
"Oh and hey buddy why you looking for those red eastern milks? I'm speculating here but could it have anything to do with some inspired hope of mixing it in with a preexisting morph line which happens to be locale pure?"--I havent seen any red easterns in a long time. I havent EVER mixed milk localities, not that there is anything wrong with that as long as they are honestly represented. Pre-existing morph line??
"Better yet why did you not take a clutch shot of your hatchlings?"--posted a month ago
"The animals across the entirety of the temporalis range have undergone several climatological and terrain overhauls. They are a fringe population existing at the mere whim of chance. The coastal plain has swelled and waned over time Jeff. The animals have all be subject to myriad population constrictions and expansions. By that notion alone the possibilities for genetic expression are, mildly put, vast. Hell man let's get technical... am I within my rights to call your secret animals an archaic isolated population of temporalis? I mean natural selection on an island where they're the apex predator and governed by a 'cool' Atlantic could help explain a tendency toward darker coloration and larger size. You're the biologist here buddy -- you tell me? I mean I'd called northern populations temporalis-influenced triangulum intergrades anyhow... ever seen any yellowish green bestial Burlington County, NJ animals? Come on throughout those hundreds if not thousands of animals tell me!!! Well cause I have..."--Where you started makes no sense, I guess you havent done any climatological inqueries because you are pretty wrong there. I never claimed GREEN as a unique event, I just seem to be the only one with the gumption and integrity to pursue it.
"I shy away from anyone who claims to have all the answers decisively"--I never claimed such, in fact my post INQUIRES posting questions...thanks for "all the answers" Einstien.
"By the way -- there will be more lizards at lower latitudes. Hence a correlation between more animals preying on them and a southerly drift does make sense"---WOW, credit alert, 5 pages into your diatribe you mentioned THE SUBJECT. If not for this your half hour of typing was useless. I will leave you to get back to your suicide note, dont do it!
