Hi,
I agree that crossing them into the colombians dilutes atractive there attractive traits, and not only the size. I have been breeding true local sonorans for around 6 years and have found my adults to max out at 5ft for females and 4ft for males. A friend crossed a sonoran male with a colombian female for many breedings, years ago, before realising they were different locals. The adults always grew to around 7ft.

I plan to cross the leopard trait into my true sonoran anerythristics and hypos.

Regards,
Warren
