Yeah, the amel Sinaloan was really the very least of it.

Maybe I should have used even better examples like the banded black & white Desert Cal. king x floridana labeled as an axanthic Florida king I saw on a guys table, or the orange thayeri x Sunkissed corn that was "thought" to be a real sunkissed corn by the owner. Or any one of countless others to "learn" from.

Claiming people can learn from hybrids by producing them so that others can learn to detect crosses better is like telling someone to shoot thereselves in the foot so they can get more familar with detecting and identifying pain..LOL!

Hey Ross Radilla!,...where is that hybrid that looked IDENTICAL to a coastal Newport Long Beach Cal. king in every single feature, but was actually a hybrid with 25% Pueblan milk in its lineage????

Who could learn from that?...well, besides that they can often be bought as something and it isn't even CLOSE to being what it looks like, or is supposed to be. Then when it gets bought as a Newport Cal. king and bred to another down the road (because that is EXACTLY what it looks to be) the person pops out cool looking Pueblan crosses here and there and thinks they are a neat new Cal. king morph..LOL!

Also, Maybe Mitch Mulks, Joe Pierce, and many other cornsnake aficionados could pop in here to tell everyone how much they have "learned" about what the Tessera corns might actually be after paying huge bucks and breeding countless more for years to sell. There is a real possibility that those could be Cal. king x corn hybrids, although the dominant mode of inheritence in the clutches doesn't make good sense, but who knows. They seem to be EXTREMELY similar to many other known Cal. king x corn striped and tesselate-sided hybrids.

I know what you are saying Brian, but it would be much nicer if people could learn about stuff BEFORE they get screwed and only produce folds more misidentified crosses in the process.
