I agree, too. It's not common to see pure ANYTHING these days. I just looked through the ads and saw obvious L. t. campbelli X L. t. nelsoni, L. t. campbelli X L. ruthveni, and L. t. campbelli X Honduran animals all listed as "Pueblan Milks". That's just today... Several weeks ago, I contacted a seller out of Houston, Texas that was offering an amaura (a good, solid amaura, I might add) as a "Pueblan Milk", to inform them of their misidentification. I got no reply and the ad has been run numerous tims since.
I suppose that's one downside to the increasing popularity of herpetoculture - more and more people become involved who really don't care about the animals or their natural history. Things were a lot different even in the mid-1990's.

L. triangulum imported from NW Honduras (but collected who-knows-where).
