Thanks ShadyLady!! It was an excellent observation on your part and really what we as herpers interested in breeding and propogating SHOULD be aware of and questioning IMO. Sometimes I feel many of the newer hobbyists dont realize that some of these critters were the result of "secret recipes" concocted in the past. They are accepted for what the are labled as today (ie, "bullsnake", "Brooks King", etc.)without any reason to question their backgrounds and origins like you did. I wonder how many new herpers realize some of these morphs were NEVER wild collected, or that a particular morph expression EVER existed in that genus or species in nature.
