Can you tell locality from pattern? One of my new ones is blue gray with black bands, the other is similar but has some thin orange bands in the black.

Unfortunately you can't look at the pattern and discern locality. You might make an educated guess, but not one that will be 100 percent correct. Chances are if they are not from a locality breeder then I would say they are attractive generic alterna morphs. Nothing wrong with that. For many years we have been blessed with the ability to keep and breed locality specific Alterna and Annulata. What about all the hondurans that are popular right now. Nobody seems to have locality Hondurans but they are still selling like hot cakes. I have yet to see Puerta Lempira locality Hondurans or anything.
I, like others definitely prefer locality animals if possible, but hey they are still Alterna and are probably still great animals. I hope you enjoy them. That is what counts.
Take Care,

I was thinking that but thought I would ask.
