I want to know who's breeding PURE(not morph) jampea, kayaudi, kalatoa, honey island, etc... I currently own a female pure jampea form Bob Clark. My interest in retic has grown as she has, and I'd like to aquire some of the other locals in the future. it seems nobody breeds pure localities anymore, everyone just breeds mainland morph crosses. Anybody know?
Thanks in advance.

Travis Kubes has pure sd's

I've seen a lot of the tics people have bought from Travis are kalatoa/mainland crosses which leads me to believe I could get pure kalatoas from him(gotta call tomorrow). What about jampea,kayaudis, honey island? Is there really only a handfull of people breeding pure locals for the trade?

Pretty much. What you have to remember, many breeders are breeding morphs into these true sd's to bring crazy morph size down. With each generation that gets bred we get closer and closer to the size of true sd's with the morphs in them, but they will never be true pure sd's. Very few people still dabble in pure dwarf and/or sd's. Also, keep in mind, it is an accepted "rule" that anything that is 50% dwarf or sd is still considered dwarf or sd, hence the snow retic for instance. The anery sd is a pure form, but it got bred into the albino to create the snow. So, actually and technically the first snow generation was 50% sd, but was sold as such due to it being greater than or equal to 50%. As the snow gets bred and bred and bred, the percentage of sd creeps up. Although, it will never be 100%, at some point it will be so close to 100% that it basically will be.

But to answer your general topic question, Travis is not the only one, but one of very few these days that still breed a clutch or two a season of sd's. Jay and Bob still do. I think Jason Gaspar still does Jamps, although he retired he original big jamp girl that his dad had and raised. I believe Kevin still does some pure sd stuff. Gavin may do some, but I dont think so.

I used to breed kayuadis and have two younger (5yo) adult females that are second generation CBB
