Jeff,
I respectfully disagree with you, and please don't take this the wrong way, but what you are implying makes no physical, scientific, and biological sense. Here is why:

You are mixing up time with bloodlines. Bloodlines don't change. Locality does not change. Time is time, a non-physical thing. Time of course, changes with every second. Bloodlines are of course, attributed to physical things, such as our beloved snakes. There are variations of pattern of course with localities, as there is always that possibility, but line breeding, or breeding several lines from the same locality, no matter how long it goes on, does not MAKE the locality factor and fact go away? You following me? No matter if the snakes years later look different, if they are from the same locality and bloodline, they ARE just that!!

You seem to be fixated on the aspect of physical looks and time, and attributing that to somehow magically making locality becoming lost ( You say usually after the 3rd generation, right? How that idea came about is puzzling, to say the least! ). Again, from a scientific standpoint, does the bloodline suddenly STOP becoming the bloodline after so and so amount of generations? HAHA! LOL! Now, come on!!

The difference between locality snakes and generics is basically, the knowledge of knowing where locality stock came from vs. not knowing, thus the label, " Generic " is produced, even though all of the founding snakes/stock to our hobby came from locality stock to begin with, if you think about it. They all came from certain locations all over our earth. To me, I love locality animals, but I don't put them above generic, unlike some, who take it a little too far.

Good questions though and good food for thought!!
