Yeah Doug it still makes me sick man.Just thank, I could have been the only person in the states with Dixoni and by now they would have been all cleaned up etc.....
I was just nieve and figured that a few people still had them from the mid 80's expoditions down there.I soon found out that there was just a loan male here and there and that was it.
I even had on the bottom of my price lists a wanted section in huge black bold letters saying "wanted,dixoni,michropholis,smithi and abnorma" and All I ever got was dead ends.
One guy had a trio of adult smithi in the back of the reptiles mag (this was a bit before the net took off and I didn't even have a computer yet) and I bought them site unscene for $800.00 and what Iended up with was a reverse trio of ugly ass ruthveni.LOL.....
Then I met up with Jimme Maybe.....LMAO... that was a great story.He had polyzona,abnorma,stuarti and oligozona.I paid big bucks and got a pair of each and the abnorma ended up being guatamalan polyzona and the oligozona where a mix of stuarti and who knows what and the polyzona was a abnorma with some other influence LOL...... what a mess Jimmy made of things.
Even the "hondurensis" that Applegate was working with where polyzona.LOL.... it goes on and on man.
Anyway, its been a fun ride to say the least and I wouldn't trade it for anything.
