Dallas, All the bloodlines Jud and I originally started working with were 1st generation captive born, but the original stock can be traced back to greens originally imported into the U.S. from the late 70's to early 90's. They all appear to be of Amazon basin origin and show varying amounts of orange in the ocular stripe, but not the clear, bright orange to yellow-orange ocular stripe that is almost always seen on the Orinoco basin greens. We have produced about 100 young greens over the last 8 years, but unfortunately have not been lucky enough to produce even one high orange. I think we will need some different bloodlines to accomplish that.
