>>Just think of the uproar that amel thayeri would have caused if it came out just a year or so ago instead of when it did. People would have been publicly on here, and privately via phone conversations accusing that breeder of having amel ruthveni or some such hybridization in their background. Again, every new variation does not immediately signal hybridization in thayeri.


For me, it's just keep track. Show a little documentation. That's what happened with the locality alterna list, after twelve generations some breeders didn't keep track and all the sudden they could trace their own stock to breeders that in some cases they caught themselves - hahahahaha - now that is funny.
And that was one of the most trust-worthy breeders! Dan Johnson provided an excellent model to follow, but very few are interested in Documentation.

Even if I'm buying a hybrid thayeri I'd just like to see photos of the mother and father and anything else you have. I know you can make this stuff up if you want, but at least I can look at it and make up my own mind.

There are always going to be newbies "accidentally" buying crosses, which will lead to the BS arguments again, but if everyone kept a little better track we'd be able to trace more snakes.
