Some very good followups here. I will add that every year a new expert comes to the forum and demands that we upchuck the origins of every morph line. Sir, that is what the historical forum is for. Do your own homework, knock yourself out! Truth is many of the older morphs predate the internet or digital pics. Are there intergrades and hybrids out there? Sure, but the most you can do is pay the extra money and go with an established breeder you trust. Dont be the type to try and save $5 then complain that you dont have all the info. Take meticulous records and demand the same in the people you deal with. Otherwise, you can always get out in the field yourself and hunt up your own. I think it most ridiculous that anyone can slam something as "not pure" yet they cannot use the established key to do so.
