I see L. t. celaenops, stuarti, annulata, sinaloae, and hondurensis, as well as L. ruthveni in there!

Real nice. I love the 5th picture (close-up). The scales look like they were painted on.

Nice stuff there Scott!

The textbook stuarti animal really caught my eye too!

How did you come upon that one?

I believe they would of been brought over from Germany, originally that is. I acquired these in private sales, As I did regarding all of them, minus the Celaenops, which is Applegate's.

This is the main difference between the US and Europe (Well UK), having Triangulum native in your country, it is easier for you's to acquire and breed, and more importantly, you have more shows to distribute them. Unfortunetly, the UK only have two Reptile Shows, these are in England, ranging from 400-600 Miles away from me in Scotland.

I really would kill to live in Arizona, that neck of the woods. I would be in my element.

Thanks for the interesting info man!

Less Hondo breeder's over there means less chance of muddying-up the stuarti gene pool too. But not to say that won't happen there soon too..LOL!

It's just the reality of how things work unfortunately. This is like a wild fire here in the U.S., and only gets worse every single year.

I ain't talkin' just Hondo's here either.....TONS of other stuff!!

PB/hypo/jelly brooks x blaze goini x amel getula het for smucker's strawberry jam, x cluster-f**** neon cobalt blue paisley print, etc......LOL!....geeeez!, give me a break man!!

I think we're in a similair situation with Sinaloae and Nelsoni, but I'm sure you's are twice as bad! Luckily there arn't enough Stuarti over here to muck up the Hondurensis yet.

The amount of Campbelli/Nelsoni over here is astonshing too...

[b/}"Luckily there arn't enough Stuarti over here to muck up the Hondurensis yet"[b/]

I am thinking more of the other way around actually..LOL! Over here many of the "Honduran's as a general rule are likely mixed with varying combinations of the other very closely related latin ssp. ---- stuarti, abnorma, polyzona, etc..

Not ALL, but definitely many. In my opinion, the hypo's that were never out-bred into tons of the other hobby animals and morphs over the years show to be probably more of a pure hondurensis phenotype.

Nothing to go to court with though, just my overall personal opinion on what I have seen over many years.

Yeah, what's the point in someone making those campbelli/nelsoni crosses?....GEEEZ!..LOL!

Oh well!!
