I heard that this cross has been done it the past, but I have never seen any photos or heard it discribed in any detail. If anyone has any photos I would really like to see them.

I have a few pics of crosses but have them packed up somewhere from when I moved.When I find them I will send you some along with some of the others we have talked about.
The babies resembled"pure" elapsoides and had no visual(from the pics)triangulum characteristics.

Thanks Stretchx, Can't wait to see the photos.

There is no sense re-inventing the wheel. If a cross has been attempted try and track down any and all info before doing it again.Sound reasoning to NOT be shy about any of our less than pure pasts.Thanks,Jeff

Hey Brad! How goes it? I'll be up at Massanutten for a week starting the 28th.

Triangulum X Elapsoides Crosses
The cross has been done frequently. From the one time that I did it, I can tell you the neonate (1) hatched out resembling a coastal. The parents for this particular breeding, were a female NJ milk (bought as a coastal but considered an eastern after it shipped in) and a male from Hyde County which at the time we all considered a scarlet. (Almost ten years latter its still kicking around and due to its size and lack of red crossing the ventrum it's now generally considered a coastal though I would say with elapsoides influence.) Anyway the single neonate had a complete collar as well as significant lateral constriction of the triads. IMHO temporalis have been influenced by integration with both triangulum and elapsoides though with the latter to a much less degree than previously thought.
