Your correct Rainer.Its what one person believes.I believe that even if you spent 20 years back breeding and 7 or 8 generations it still wouldn't push one or the other out.Yes,its very true that only the breeder would know but its still not full cal king etc..
I have seen the "albino alterna's" at shows that read 88 or 91% alterna.Still doesn't make it a alterna in my book,"

But it only take 3 back breedings to create a new species which DNA would not detect. In farming this is also considered a legal species. So it does not take 20 years and 8 backbreeding like you think.

I wish someone would chime in with expereince with chickens or something. We have a lot to learn in herpetocuture from farmers who are farming livestock. This information is common knowledge.
