"But if releases are ongoing, then restrictions on current hobbyists might still be important in preventing renewal of the feral population."

That is exactly what I'm saying -- The AR crowd puts releases in the context as an ongoing current issue, which it clearly is not, otherwise there would be Greens, Labyrinth, Albinos found in the wild, offspring from released Hets.

You seem to be agreeing with me on this.

I'm of the opinion it was possible for many genetic mutations to be in the lower echelon "Pet Trade", unknowingly heterozygous for those mutations, from as long ago as 1996.
