>>I do understand what you are saying but the newer generation mexicana heads have come accept them all as thayeri

>>Is that worth correcting by educating them? Or is that considered rude by stirring the waters?







I've done plenty of pot stirring in the past, but found it useless at best........I am not one to argue too much anymore.

This IS just a hobby......I will have no claim to fame or get rich doing this......I just do it for fun and hope the hobby pays for itself from time to time........



I know what I have and I know what most of the people worth knowing about has as well......LOL



FR mentioned the 3 (4 if you count Melanistics) different phenotypes that were used to describe the Nuevo Leon Kings in the 60s & 70s......Many folks don't even know that there were once Leonis, Thayeri and MSP morphs.........



Now they are All Thayeri....& Thayeri can be MSP or Leonis phase.......Or melanistic, but melanistics can be either MSP or leonis as well....You can tell right after they hatch.........Then let's not forget Intermediate Phase......lol



My "old school" mentality wants to call them all Leonis.......Bob Hansen still calls them L. m. leonis since the first Nuevo Leon animals were labelled L. m. leonis........



And, I still think Alterna & Ruthveni are Mexicana.......but that's just me.......lol
