Albino & Hypo C. v. viridis Background/History

Gsc Jul 17, 2003 11:12 AM

I am aware that the origional albino viridis came from a Texas locale.... Does anyone know anything more specific than that? What about the Hypo viridis that are being bred???? Thanks in advance for your help on this subject

The origal albino viridis was collected in Sundown, Texas. There have been others collected in northern states years ago, but none ever bred. My hypo was collected in Roosevelt county, NM. I have never heard where the others were collected. The caramel albino was a result of breeding the hypo to an albino. It resulted in a 1st generation mutation. Contrary to what some are posting there is only one albino viridis strain.
Hope this helps.
