"New bloodlines are needed Tony"
I actually have several lines going and continue to outcross to lines that I know or at least strongly believe are not represented in my colonies. I acknowledge and appreciate the efforts of those that are collecting new blood. Also I've never inferred that I was single handedly trying to preserve the captive gene pool of coastal plains milk snakes through my efforts. There are plenty of guys out there with larger more diverse collections than mine. Still for a while it seemed that I was nearly if not the last man standing with this hypo line. I'm not deluded enough to think that if I hadn't done what I'd done hypos would have disapeared from the hobbey but I'm pretty sure they would be far less available than they are now had I not acted to improve fecundity.
