Thanks, Todd. Geez, ask a simple question . . .

After initial comments I was hoping for some more insight into the background of CBB pueblans. Who knew it would devolve so quickly? Outside of that, I really do appreciate ALL input.

So far, as far as I can tell:
a) the subspecies was 1st describe in the '80s (1980s?)and only a few were used as founding stock--courtesy Schofield
b) Mark's first experience was with unevenly banded specimens
c)Jerry doubts the hypo gene is pueblan, disputed by Shannon (I did ask Jerry what he thinks pueblans are cut in with, but never got that answer)
d) Still waiting for Jerry's photos.

As regards locale, clearly I will never have any locale info (and it seems few pueblan keepers really do). That does not bother me. Is my PetSmart one a hybrid? As I mentioned, I originally posted it as one, but there was enough doubt for me to doubt (I'm new on this block). Do I love the way it looks? Well, why do you think I bought her? Same with the other two I bought, neither of which was "locale" specific. I myself am fine with that.

Thanks again!

Andy
