I really don't have a huge sample size of observations to say yes or no to that hypothesis..... there are probably a number of factors coming into play including relatively small numbers of individuals and limited localities represented in the captive founder pool and yes, probably some captive color/pattern preference bias as well. I for one had an idea of what a "real" ruthveni looked like but I am changing that target as my perspective is widened by exposure to "different" looking individuals.

I wonder how much it would cost for genetic testing and how applicable testing would be for some of the "odd" looking ruthveni out there in collections?

I have a friend who's collection of "ruthveni" would be a great place to start as he has a hodge podge of different looking animals......
