Hi Bill,



I guess you are talking about my web-site. There are not many people calling me a gentlemen , thanks. I also did an "english version", so nobody should be afraid to got to the link below, and please sign the guest book



First I have to say great pics you are sharing, thanks. Those L. t. micropholis are still on my "wanted list".



Now, your questions. The Thissen and Hansen book you are referring to is still the only one that has been written in German language and it is still a good source. I have send a few copies to friends in the states a few month ago. Are you still in contact with Helmut Hansen? Do you have an adress to contact him?



The albino gene in L. t. hondurensis popped up after the wall came down. There were many rumors that those albinos are not pure but from L. t. nelsoni or L. ruthveni.



AFAIK L. ruthveni has been proved out not to be responsible for L. t. hondurensis. Whatever, we will never find out and looking to the market it becomes harder and harder to see pure albino L. t. hondurensis if there ever has been one. I do see cocktails of Central American Milks in a lot of those "hondurensis".



So far,

Gerrit
