>>>I have done it before and I know some animals will look enough like Floridana that they may be easily mistaken as Floridana, and some will look so much like Nigritus that they may be mistaken for that.





really, you have? id like to see the pics, otherwise i dont believe it, anyone can SAY they have done it. what happened to your group? how far did you go F1 F2 F3???

mistaken for? W O W mistaken for what exactly?!?

ok well they are true/pure getula just diff. phenotypes/ssp.

even F1 50/50's dont resemble either parent phenotype enough to be mistaken. when i breed the F2's to true mbk for F3 they will be 75/25 then the F4's will be as true as any other mbk as the floidana phenotype will be ABSORBED. its HOW recessive mutations are passed along. i remember in the early 80's when the first amel getula came out they were calikings and they were HIDOLLAR then 3-5 yrs. later amels starting popping up in ALL the getula ssp....coincidence? same thing happened w/corns there are now amels in most all rats from emory's to obsoleta. i produce "pet" snakes and the simple fact is pretty sells better, if someone wants to breed true natural phenotypes/ssp. i say GO FOR IT! i breed a few of those myself but i would advise anyone wanting to breed true blue untainted phenotype/ssp. to seek those out from trustworthy sources/breeders and ask ALOT of questions about the parents and lineage and/or catch them themselves, but even then the pairings are UNNATURAL so you really are doing the same thing breeding for pretty.
