Isn’t it GREAT to be an American?
We can voice our beliefs and opinions without persecution.
On this board we all read your opinions. Not everyone is going to agree with you or me. That’s what this board is all about.
I read your opinion regarding the Gulf/ Ornate Boxie. I stated my reasons for what I believe; in the above email. I also received several emails from other readers who agree with my opinion on this matter. I have raised and breed Gulf Coast Boxies and Ornates. I have had very old ( ancient) Gulf Coast Boxies that did have a flat slightly concave dome. It did not look anything like the one pictured; which is a much younger individual and is probably still growing....like most Gulf Coast Boxies which are the largest of the Subspecies. Pure Ornates don’t even come close to Gulf Coast size....That should be your biggest clue. I can easily see the pyramiding; which I allowed for in making my decision.
I disagree with your call and believe it to be a Hybrid.
In your attack on my belief; you stated you must be going” Blind.”
Good grief, relax, take care of yourself.....see an optometrist. Try and see the pure breed Ornate pic I’ve attached.... And smile....You’ll live longer to write more posts; some of which I MIGHT agree with.
