Well, that all made sense to me, and though some things might be lost in translation, I think it's safe to say we agree. Personally, I don't see many people buying morphs for the locale. Yes, to some extent they do such as the Hypo Sonorans. When our motleys were originally purchased they were bought as simply Central American, no specific locale. Then we learned the breeding was the original Central American(still no locale) motley female bred to an EBV Red Group male. At this time, I said this WILL become an issue when the time comes, and I KNOW who will make it an issue. I wish I would've bet a million dollars on it because I could've cashed in this year! Things played out as I expected and it all goes back to my comment about those living in glass houses throwing stones. The locale specifics generally aren't an issue until it becomes what seems to be simply a "competitive" edge. Something like...."Oh there's are junk because they're not "pure", neither are mine if you ask, but if you don't....just focus on THEM". I guess the best thing you can do is laugh at it all and go on! Thanks again for the comments Gus, take care!
