>>Good question
>>
>>I'm not sure if they all trace to one locality. Bob Hansen's site says they've been found throughout the range. I know they've been found near Galeana and Dr. Arroyo specifically. I believe Frank Retes claims to have discovered the first melanistic.
>>
>>I would guess that Bob, Joe, Frank, or Steve Osbourne may know more of the story.

Dangit...I forgot about ole FR finding the first one......lol

And....Frank has bred tons of mexicana (according to him)...Why doesn't anyone claim to have any of his stock? Is it because he claims they cross bred anything and everything from Mexico back then?

And I have viewed Bob Hansen's site many times and never really came across that info....I'll have to go check it out some more.....Thanks Greg.
