My plan for genetic diversity -

When the two adults I have die, I will collect another pair from this locality (Redding, CA) to produce a clutch unrelated to the captive bred I have that can be used to bring fresh blood into what I'm working with.

I want to keep my line locality specific because of the possible influence of Oregon subspecies. Eventually some grad student will do a study of the genetics and hopefully at that time I'll know more about wether or not this locale is "pure" California subspecies or an integrade. IMHO integrade locales should be kept out of "pure" subspecies lines - at least until the species is widely bred with many keepers who do breed "pure" lines.

0.1 Pituophis catenifer catenifer (Pacific gopher)
3.3 Elgaria multicarinata multicarinata - 14 eggs (Cal. Alligator Lizard)
