Cole,
I am right there with you brother with the frustration level. Like DISCERN, I have had some success with emailing sellers and pointing out mislabled animals and for a decent amount of them, they fix it.
I'm not sure its all laziness on the part of these people...I think to some, a milk snake is a milk snake and they don't appreciate or value subspecies designations. I don't agree with those people at all and work hard to keep subspecies and locality lines seperate and pure.
So your question of "What can we do?" is a good one. I'm interested to know how the alterna people manage their "Trusted Breeders" page. Who decides who gets in and doesn't get in? What does it take to get in and how do you get booted out?
Sounds like a great idea but I think the questions raised will make it impracticle to manage and it sounds like one more thing for people to fight about on the forums!
I think the best idea is just to get to know folks in the hobby that you can form a relationship with and develop some trust and get your animals from those people. That's what I do. That way you're forming your own list of trusted breeders.
As much as I'd like to save the world from man made hybrids and integrades, there is just no way to control it or stop it other than by not supporting their efforts through purchases, etc.
