Hold on there Kyle, I understand you upset and frustration, but those are beautiful animals and that male is especially interesting so, even though I personally commend your preference for pure specimens (as much as you can get in the hobby) try taking them for what they're worth on their own merit.



I too have a situation very similar to yours in that I purchased a supposed pure LA Pine which it turns out is a result of outcrossing years back. I was going to bred him of course and purchased a nice pure female to go along. Once I found out he was tainted though I determined not to breed him at all and traded off the female. BUT, he is a stunning animal and has become a really fun pet. btw, I spent many times what you did on the two together! I'll say one more thing, because of all that I know a heck of a lot more than I did then. Twists and turns and little dramas are part of what makes a hobby fun anyway



Here's a pic of the guy. I call him my WTF Pine...
