SO if I found everglades rats at locality X in 1975 and line bred them for 30 years(10 generations) would you say they would be the same as locality X snakes I found today?? Not a chance. TIME is the 4th dimension, and you have to account for it. If you keep locality snakes you do it for a reason. If that reason is because you want to be able to reproduce snakes that look like they could be found in that spot TODAY, not 40 years ago(and they could look drastically different)then you need a "certain version" of that locality. There can be ALOT of different lines for the same locality, as people keep them for different reasons. If this is so, how much different are locality snakes from generics to begin with?? Just some logical questions...
