**Why can't an 'accident' occur in your snake room? > You’ll see tonight. **



I'm sorry but I'm not smart enough or sharp enough to pick up on this comment

> That really does appear to be an accurate assessment of yourself, lol. But, you’ll have to wait until tonight.



**If you will only trust something when you see it, why shouldn't everyone else who purchases something from you have the same doubts? > If I produce a black and red, blairs phase Limpia Canyon or a Juno with intricate speckling and high band count that looks like a western morph, or a highly speckled Hueco with triple alternates I HOPE THEY DO, lol.**



Yes, but how would YOU feel if you KNEW that it was a legitimate locale animal? Let's say that happened and the only snakes you possessed were of one locality and all wild caught? How would you defend yourself?

> When that happens, you’ll be the first I contact to express my feelings.



Have you ever caught a Hueco alterna?

> No. I hope I do, and I hope it is one that is speckled with triple alternates. That will make pairing it up a lot easier.



If you haven't then how do you know that wild ones don't have triple alternates?

> I don’t know that wild ones do not possess triple alternates. But, if they’re around then they will be collected (or photographed) and I can at least move Huecos with triple alternates from my UFO category.



It is clear that you doubt everyone

> how is that clear?



so it seems funny to me that you believe fully all of the people who have claimed to catch Hueco alterna w/o triple alternates. > Hmmm...it shouldn’t seem funny. As far as I know, no Hueco has been collected that is heavily speckled with triple alternates. In fact, I know of only one with speckling and it’s in the collection of Mr. Johnson. Do you know of any? A picture please.



How do you know that true wild Huecos aren't speckled?

> Are you suggesting that all the Huecos that have been collected without speckling are not true Huecos?



Granted - it is a profoundly bad situation to be in…producing offspring that is atypical of known collected specimens. For me to believe that the line is pure I’ll have to see the expression of speckling and triple alternates in other wc Hueco alterna. So far, none have exhibited these traits other than the alterna produced from the collection of Dan Johnson. Right?
