Thanks for the reply. No, I wasn't thiinking that. I was questioning the idea, which perhaps you weren't presenting, that there was any better chance of getting something interesting from WC hondos than from captive bred ones. I'd think the odds are considerably better with captive bred specimens. People usually turn to wild caught stock in an effort to introduce new "blood" into their concentrated-gene-pool captive animals, rather than introducing WCs in hopes of getting something new. While the anerythristic first appeared in wild caught specimens, i can't think of a scenario, at least, that suggests better odds of new things popping up among babies from WCs than from captive breds. But if anybody out there can suggest such a situation, i'd be glad to hear it.

but i do appreciate your offer to tell me if you come up with something interesting.
