How many have been produced? Who is working with them?

I know of two people that were working with them, I'm not sure about one of them, but I know that the other still has the hets and has only bred them once (getting no blondes). He told me he was going to try again, but I haven't heard from him in several months. I've been looking everywhere for one for a long time.

So what's the story about the original one? Was wild caught or did it pop up from normals?

I never looked into that. All I know is that Richard Evans had proven them out, and then ended up selling them all. I think he said something about selling off all of his Mexican Hogs.

One of the people with the hets used to post here under the name fill. Richard gave me his name and email address, aswell as the phone number of another person who purchased some hets from him. I never tried calling the other person, though. Shoot me an email if you would like me to forward you their contact information.

There are wild populations of this morph that appear in West Texas. "A Field Guide to Texas Snakes" gives reference to this fact. Though it has never come up when I tried to ask for an exact locale, I believe that bloodline to be from that same area.
I believe that Richard Evans has just sold the last '05 het animal recently. He did have the original blonde male at the irba show in 2004 for a whopping $5,000 and the hets at $500.

Brent Bumgardner may have this bloodline.
