Thanks Stefan I knew one of ya would be able to pop that up there pretty quick.....

I was first going to post my entire list of 31 species, but I decided it would only turn the discussion into a debate over which species and subspecies are recognized and which aren't.

On second thought, that might be material for a new thread..

[enigma200316]

yeah I could see that one happening, don't we have page here some where that has a list of the names??

[vwsrcool]

does the fact that they are either albino or het for albino change they sceintific name?

[vwsrcool]

stephan could you post the 31 species list?

[enigma200316]

well maybe the albino, but I don't think the hets do.....
