hi mitch,

with all those e-mails i send out, you of all people should know i have prolly the most free time of anyone you know.
below is an excerpt from a previous post on the origins of the albino pyros. it was written by terry dunham. i only corrected a spelling mistake. may be some one will bother brian for a comment on this topic. i got mine's from ric blair and he swore they wore pure. actually he seemed kinda annoyed i even asked him i guess i shouldn't question a mountain king fanatic. what i can tell you is that some of those babies in that first clutch of mine has reduced yellow and are stunning. was using it for my albino applegate pyro project but the applegate side of the project ain't doing too well. rick can fill you in on that sad story.

Pulled from previous Terry Dunham post:

Brian Barczyk got the originals from a fella in an upper midwestern state who'd had the group that produced them for a long time. At the time there was a state game agent or similar sort of objective, outside-observer individual, who confirmed he'd known about the animals' existence before the albino ruthveni morph could have been crossed to pyros to produce the animals brian got. Additional evidence that influences me: Brian's a very smart guy, and he wouldn't have paid what he did to acquire the group, without thoroughly vetting it.

I believe the pyros are the real thing. Which makes it all the more offensive--my personal opinion here--when people breed them to other species. I've seen an animal for sale at expo as "het for albino pyro", for example, which, when i questioned the seller, was admittedly a hybrid. That owner changed the label when i suggested he do so, but how many others didn't? How many people bought animals thinking they were "as advertised" and got hybrids? It's buyer beware. It's never been more important you know the seller or ask a LOT of hard questions about the animals' origins.
