>> Anyone that knows anything at all about this hobby knows that the famous initial "honest representation" of their hybrid crosses means absolutely nothing later down the road. Tommy will be able to tell you about this in a couple years too when people start producing what they "think" are new floridana, MBK, and splendida morphs, and they will trace their stock directly back to his hybrid project.





I agree but I know many thayeri breeders that will only buy, sell and trade amongst themselves/ourselves. I believe that next to alterna breeders, there is a great group of thayeri breeders that know the lineage/provenance of their animals. I know I wouldn't buy from just any Joe Blow, but The problem mentioned is the fact that somebody will.....translation will be lost accidentally or purposely, then gene pools of snakes we cannot acquire from the wild anymore will be tainted.....that's the sad part....



With getula and US milks we can go get more and start over.....with mexicana we cannot.
