: I KEEP HEARING OF PEOPLE WHO BOUGHT A EVERGLADES RAT FROM A PET STORE AND 2 OR 3 YEARS LATER STILL NO CHANGE IN COLOR OR PATTERN
: SO I WANT TO SET THE STORY STRAIGHT............
: FIRST BACKGROUND, IV'E BEEN COLLECTING IN THE S. FLA AREA FOR 6 YEARS AND HAVE ONLY FOUND 6 TRUE GLADES (2 WERE ROAD KILL)
: I KNOW A FEW OTHER COLLECTORS THAT HAVE CAUGHT A FEW TO BUT THE NORM IS (THE WAY I SEE IT) 500 YELLOW/INTERGRADES TO 1 TRUE GLADES................................AND THATS A DAMN NEAR FACT
: NOW FOR THE OTHER SIDE IV'E CAUGHT HUNDREDS OF YELLOWS AND HUNDREDS OF INTERGRADES (CROSSES BETWEEN YELLOWS AND GLADES)
: YELLOWS ARE YELLOWS SO A DISCRIPTION IS NOT NESSARY BUT............
: INTERGRADES ARE A DIFFERENT STORY
: TO START W/ THEY ARE ALL PRETTY MUCH THE SAME SIZE (YELLOWS,INTERGRADES,GLADES)
: BUT INTERGRADES ARE BANNANNA YELLOW BRIGHT YELLOW UNDER CHIN AND NECK AND THE TONGUE IS RED ON THE END OR HALF WAY DOWN ARE ALL BLACK INTERGRADES ARE ALSO STRIPED OR BLOTCHED OR A MIX OF THE TWO..........
: GLADES ARE ORANGE TO ORANGE RED W/ FAINT STRIPING OR DAMN NEAR PATTERNLESS W/ A 99% RED TONGUE
: *******
: ANYONE WANTING A PIC COMPAREING THE TWO E-MAIL ME

: ANYWAY UNLESS YOU KNOW THE BREEDER OR COLLECTOR (REAL GOOD)
: DON'T BUY A GLADES BECAUSE IT WILL PROBABLY TURN OUT TO BE A INTERGRADE OR AS WE CALL THEM IN FLORIDA A REAL PRETTY YELLOW !!!!!!!!!
: IN MY EXPERINCE A EVERGLADES WILL SHOW GOOD COLOR CHANGE AT ABOUT 6 TO 9 MONTHS OR 40 TO 50 FEEDINGS AND THE CHANGE IS PRETTY STEADY OVER THE NEXT YEAR
: THE PROBLEM COMES FROM PEOPLE(WHOLESALERS AND STUPID COLLECTORS)
: CATCHING OR SELLING SOMETHING THERE NOT SURE OF TO MAKE A BUCK WHICH IS SAD AND EVEN SADDER FOR THE TRUE GLADES
: IF YOU BREED GLADES AND SOMEONE SOLD YOU A INTERGRADE AND YOU WERN'T SMART ENOUGH TO CATCH IT IT COULD SET YOUR BREEDING PROJECT BACK AND LESSON THE TRUE GLADES BLOOD LINES
: SO ONCE AGAIN BE CAREFUL AND STOP DEALING W/ JONNY COME LATELYS AND THE GUY OUT FOR QUICK CASH AT A SHOW IT RUINS IT FOR EVERYONE
: IF ITS A INTERGRADE SELL IT AS SUCH DON'T HYPE THE NAME TO MAKE $5.00 MORE DOLLARS (YOU GREDDY BASTARDS)
: THIS (TRUE GLADES) IS A TRUE BEAUTY AMOUNG THE RAT SNAKE FAMILY AND DESERVE BETTER..............................
