I know what you are getting at with the locality "look" maybe not being exactly like the original one's that were caught once were, but the locality blood will ALWAYS be coursing through their veins, regardless of what they might look like after many generations. They will NOT just become something else one day, they will ALWAYS have come from that specific locality, even after F-100.

Who says to be "locality", the snake(s) have to look EXACTLY like the parents???

Furthermore, since when do locality animals have to look identical??......they DO NOT!. They can look like night and day from under the very same rock!!

Once locality, always locality, unless some other bloodline is introduced into the mix, simple as that really.

Some think just as you do, and others think as I do. I have talked to many about this too. The snakes do not become generic, or from another place, they are simply locality F-whatever's for whatever that may be worth...LOL!

Also, you can have lots of F-12's that might look like mirror images of the W/C parents, are you going to tell someone at the table...."uh, yeah, I know it looks exactly like the parents, but now they are something else altogether"..LOL!

The locality "idea" is just that, someone's "idea". The fact is, they are STILL locality snakes, be it whatever generation
