If your post presumed that my sun motleys originated from European stock, that is not the case. I've been breeding this particular line since the mid 1980s. I bred the best of my sunglows to motleys and finally came up with animals that you see today on my site. Same with most of my amelanistic bloodreds. Started with amelanistics and bloodreds and worked up from there. If any of my founding stock came from Europe, I'd gladly say so.
The only places I've sold these two morphs outside the U.S. are Canada, Isrial and Japan so it's possible, but doubtful that my lines are even over there. Not being naive, I'm sure some have "hopped" from one place to another and ended up there, but not directly from me. I do recall selling some snakes to someone in Europe three years ago, but he hasn't had time to produce many from them. I think the insinuation was that mine came from there so that point is moot anyway.
Since I've never sold my animals in Orlando or Daytona, Europeans would have to have come to little shows in the Midwestern U.S. to get my stock if they didn't order them via email or phone to be shipped. I can assure you that my amelanistic bloodreds and my sun motleys were "created" here and started from scratch. I've never purchased any animals from Europe and never from anyone that said they were Europe. My humble snake breedings started in Wichita, Kansas in the 70s and in "DooDah, Kansas" people don't import corn snakes from Europe.
Just setting things straight.
