Firstly, no I was not saying any thing about your snakes or my snakes in particular.. hence the X's!



Let me break this down for you...If I go out and buy a pair of Terry's LA pines from Terry I can be relatively sure that they are pure... right, (THAT IS THE FIRTST X in my above posted equation) however if I go out and buy a pair of Terry's bloodline LA pines from someone other than Terry they are no longer terry's snakes but rather "terry's blood line" and there is a level of removal.....(insert 2nd X). My point being that just because someone is marketing terry's line LA's, or ginter line northerns, or cherry line deppei, or lemke line black pines does not mean that those animals are true to what ever line was quoted and credited? Right? Again.....I am not referencing your snake.....



I hope that this clarifies my post and we can all get back to X's and O's



As a side note, there was some evidence that folks were using legit captive lines of protected snakes to laundry wild caught animals.... with the use of genetic material they got shut down and prosecuted! Gotta love science!
