I will admit I error on the side of skeptic unless I can see something like a chain of command or some other proof that an animal is what it is being sold as. one example I can provide was a project for sale just a few weeks ago for a Bairdi X White side Black Rat project. Someone will buy that project and produce "White Side Bairdi" he may sell then as crosses but what about someone five or eight years down the line. That person may decide to sell them as legit white sided Bairdi as he does not know or was not told they are crossed with black rats. Then what if someone else is herping in the field one day and stumbles accross the real deal local specifc white sided bairdi. How many people do you think will take him for his word. I admit my first assumption will be he is trying to pass of a black rat cross as the real deal when in reality he is not.

My gripe LOL
