There are many problems with registry, the first being, linages have already been established. And without a good grip on the origins of the founders.

Also, some founders were obtained in a questionable(not saying illegal) manner.

Also paper work usually means 1-77s or some other import paper work, which is not needed with hognose. But may be needed with tricolors. As they come from a country that does not export(?)

I would imagine that BHB offers paperwork to verify the animals where from him and may mean hatched by him, as opposed to resold by him. I use to offer that.

I would imagine it would be a nightmare with such things as possible hets, and low expressions this or that, or worse yet expression, in a co-dom breeding.

Best wishes
