I think you guys misinterprited the gist of what I was saying. I was not saying a hybrid lewisi or caymaninsis is worth more than a pure one. I was saying a hybrid lewisi or caymaninsis is worth more than a pure cuban on the open markat today. This is a fact that I am faced with right now. I have an "American Lewisi" (I like that name) and several extra female cubans I could cross them and people will pay $200 for them as lewisi crosses. I would not buy them because I would not buy a baby lewisi without seeing the adults and seeing at least visualy they looked like the "Standard" for a lewisi and that is why I don't breed together now. A pure cuban is worth $75 to $150 depending on the number being sold so that is what I meant by a hybrid is worth more.
The problem with what david blair does is his paperwork only says what it is and that it is from him. I want who the parents are and who there parents are and a pit tag in the animal and it on the certificate.
I have been contemplating pit tagging all of the babyI sell so that in 25 years if I get and adult from someone that has been bought and sold 5 times in 25 years and no one knows its origin I will know if its related to mine or not. If we all did this we could have some refference in the future. it is only $7 ea to pit tag. I am going to start a new topic about the regestry program,
Rob
