>>>there were too many variables for me to attribute the phenotype variation to just one factor, such as lower temps.

could not have said it better myself, i apply this to all of the lampropeltines ive worked with getula,triangulum,calligaster. i have never bred pyro or any mexicana,but i have most of the other above ssp. throughout the years and if it was as ez as lower incu.temps for brighter reds and cleaner bands everyone would have smokin hot colors and locales would mean nothing. color is genetic.
,,,pattern now thats another discussion... incu. temps and color implies eryphore/xanphore/melanin manipulation/mutation through temps!?!? seems a bit much... like oooh i want a hypo from these 2 dirty blazzee normal i know lower my incu temps,that will clean them up, im sorry true reccessive mutations like hypo cannot just be created through temp manipulation neitheir can melanistic or brighter at least imho. cooler temps are better higher temps can be deadly. stability and humidity is the most impt. factor.
