If I can remember anywhere near correctly, the lite bands are suppose to be 1 1/2 scales rows wide or less.

Also, Casa Grande, is an area with many morphs of kings, from Cali, to yuma, to ones with lite centers on each side of the dark bands. I found those interesting. I found those around the baseball training camp(is it still in use?) Those according to you'sis appear to have splendida influence, but no splendida for miles and miles. Heck, not even close.

As you know, there are no yuma kings except by location, the ones in Yuma are yuma kings. The rest are narrow banded(lite bands) calkings.

I know that is dumb, but its not my fault, I would have kept them valid, the reason is, they are there.

You may be right, in the picture on my computer, shows nothing unusual. But your fla. kings were indeed different.

Please don't think of my opinions on these types of names as important, I am an olde fella and find it wonderous. People naming every little thing or not. Personally when you can get something to breed true, that is, all the way true, then you can name it. But if you cannot, its nothing but a morph or phase, or some such appearance label.

Forgive me, but with mice or dogs or other captive made things, must be line bred true for something over twenty generations to be considered a strain(new name). Maybe we need to set a number, because with all this captive stuff, there needs to be a way to verify it. Cheers FR
