I'd have to agree, that from my experience, blues aren't an intergrade. They grow much larger, on average, than the other two species in question, and intergrading the two wouldn't bring about a "bluish" coloration, as they both are very yellow to orange in coloration and the blue would be from...? Plus much different patterning. This is subject to personal determination, I've had people tell me that they can't tell the difference between Taiwan juviws and Blue juvies, however mine are so noticeably different, I don't need to have them side by side to tell the difference, if not by color by pattern alone. I question any babies that "look" halfway between a blue and taiwan.
I definately agree that more info needs to be put out, if not still found out, on these species. Maybe that would help more people actually realize that these guys aren't what they expect them to be. I recently had a table at the Raleigh, NC reptile show, and brought my adult male blue beauty(if anyway out there saw me, please chime in!). I think really hurt a few peoples odds of selling boids both days...lol I also was able to get a lot of good info out to people who were simply amazed at the size and coloration of my fella and his babies, not to mention my seperate clutch from my WC female. Hopefully, these guys will begin to get the respect a "beauty" of a snake truly deserves.
