FR, I am not so strictly a field guy as you, but then again who is. I straddle the line between morphs and locality snakes, I keep both. I find alot of "locality nutz"(especially on the milk forum)a little off base because they consider F10 babies "locality".
My first point is that to be a locality breeder you have to continually infuse new blood from the wild to keep the line "valid".
My second point is that breeding for LOCALITY MORPHS is basically ridiculous to begin with, even if a single morph is found in the wild at that locality in very very few instances does the locality "support" morphs.
What say you on these 2 points?
