That's nice. Maybe I am reading way too much into it but, your statement regarding me is kind of low don't you think, especially towards someone you don't really even know. Since I never got a response from you though email, I'll now address my question to you on this forum. I am curious to know what you are implying in the statement of " Hey, why not, it worked for "albino sinaloae", right? As I recall, Nathan actually had a pretty good justification for that, but still... not only is it a slippery slope, but it seems to me that a different standard for purity applies when morphs are involved." Are you saying that by applying a different standard of purity I have claimed to produce "albino sinaloans"? Well with setting the record straight, I have never produced or claimed to have produced a "pure" example of albino sinaloae in all my 12 years of working with them. I have never even remotely selectively bred specific animals in attempts to reduce band counts. Nor have I ever advertised any animal as such so I am not really sure where that came from. And my standards of purity are very high; anyone who knows my involvement with field herping for locality specific animals, particularly NA milks and L. alterna will attest. With my sinaloans, in anything I have ever successfully produced, whether it be albino het hypoerythristic, albino hypo-e, albino het splotched, splotched albinos or albinos possible hets, the albino gene present has always originally derived from my albino nelsoni. I have been very clear on this issue here for several years, with posts specifically dissecting the genetics on every special morph I have shared with the members on this forum or in the public eye.. I am not sure why you felt the need to post such a remark but if I am in the least bit taking your comment the wrong way, then my apologies. But when you really look into what was written, how am I think otherwise? That snake you have pictured has really turned out into a spectacular animal. Hopefully, you be able to find an equally nice looking mate. Have a great weekend.
