Dave,

I m one of the few lucky enough to be considered a trusted alterna breeder.The way you get in is to have animals that can be traced all the way back to wild lineage.If there is even one smal part that is missing then they are considered generic.
I could and should work the same way with milks.It works that way as well with Rosy's,pyros,zonata and even cal kings.

After being around the hobby a few years its prety easy to get a grip on who has what etc.....You just have to go with the signs and yes there will be sometimes you will get screwed even when dealing with hardcore locale nutts cause that person didn't do there homework and they just trusted the seller before them.


And, if somebody has a fine example of a locale animal but he or she works with hybrids it doesn't meen that they are tainted but I tend to stay away from breeders like that.

The pic below is a male sanderson alterna we found in situ in (07) and five nights later found a female not 100 yards away.So,believe it or not I could have sold everyone of there babies five times over the last 4 years cause people like the real deal when they can be traced back like this.
