Does anyone have or know of anyone who has pedigreed cheynei? I mean from snakes crawling through the forest to USCB snakes today (I guess they don't have to be specifically U.S.A. captive bred, but Australian CBB hardly matters for this discussion). - Pedigreed back to founding stock-



I have always accepted that the majority of the "north end" carpets here in US captive collections had murky pedigrees at best, regardless of what Joe Q. Carpet breeder is telling you. But you know what they say about assumptions...



It funny to me that people speak about their carpets with 100% assurance that their snakes are "pure" this, or "pure" that. Or that a given animal doesn't have diamond, or jungle, or whatever "in it".



As if you can look at any USCB spilota type animal and say that it has this or that in it. IMHO this is absurd. That's akin to saying Mr. So and So has no Inuit in him because he is tall. The only way you would know that Mr. so and so "has no inuit in him" is to have access to a record of his ancestors (Written pedigree, or I assume that there are DNA tests that would yield the same info).



Don't tell me about the "pure" jungle you bought from a guy who got it from (Insert Big Name Breeder of Choice) at a show.....or the carpet you got from a some wholesaler that they call "pure" jungles.



So PLEASE, correct me if I am wrong. As a "Jungle" lover I would love to see pedigreed lineages. I would snatch some up in a heartbeat. I am just skeptical that they exist.

Thoughts?



Thanks for looking

Ben
