But I thought I answered this already. Filial generations are the number of generations removed from the wild. Technically a wc gravid female with unknown male the babies will NOT be F1. F1 starts at the known parents. F1 x F2 HAS to be F3 simply because a F2 cannot beget anything else. To put anything else on the label(% X *)is flat out misrepresentation. Now my ideal of locality maxed at F3 works if you outbreed to wc. To me this is the only fair way to consider f4 and beyond locality. Populations change, habitat changes quicker than we know. Look at Everglades ratsnakes for example. A "locality" snake in 1975 is much much different than the same 2010 version. If you breed locality to represent a location you must also accept that you are putting a time stamp on it. That time stamp becomes invalid when the habitat changes. Beyond F3 selective breeding has alot more to do with the changes in the snake than locality. Misrepresentation of filial generations all but invalidates the idea of locality.
And as for my night, half way into streaking the city square my date stopped a car and got in and drove away. Simple harmless fun can turn into a sex crime really that quick! LMAO!
