In Reply to: reasons we need successful breeding populations.... posted by Dean Alessandrini on July 04, 2001 at 14:53:45:
I think you can tell I do love the Indigo snake,as well as a few other types. When I mentioned the idea of a leucistic, I did mean it to be something so obviously created that noone could ever mistake it for anything but- including the enforcement types. I feel H. Deans work does not hurt the pure Thayer, pueblan or nelson populations in any way, in the wild or captivity. I also believe the "market" is big enough to support healthy populations of both "pure" strains and any "creation" we can come up with. You know any cross is probably possable if someone is determined enough, without thought of a quick buck. It might take ten generations or whatever, not some flash in the pan project. Noone is accidently breeding Jungle corns to locality Okeetee corns, but you can't deny the impact of eye appeal on marketability over most other factors. If it looks good, like H.Deans creations, people will want to get into it. It would be unthinkable for his work to replace the purists, but unthinkable to stop what he's doing in my opinion. There's room for both, and he's on the forefront of the future of herptoculture in my humble opinion.
