He is back home in Canada for a while dealing with lots of grief. He is on thetegu.com and you can contact him there. He said as far as he is concerned there is no debate, blues are color morphs, that simple. There is the question of scale count and femoral pores but those numbers may need to be expanded.

The expert I am talking to is still in Paraguay until mid to late January. I will then contact him again and try to see what his opinion is. His name is Dr. Lee A Fitzgerald.
