    Re: Another mystery garter

    Re: Another mystery garter

    I'm not convinced it's 'full' radix, I still think it's a cross.

    Any particular reason? Or pure gut feeling? As far as I can tell, it has all the signs of a radix. Except for the less typical colour.

    Re: Another mystery garter

    I know it's a bit vague.... It just doesn't 'look' like a radix, the build is different and something about the head shape isn't quite radix.

    That's what I said on page one, post seven!
    I'm not saying it with any real certainty though. Who can truly know?

    Re: Another mystery garter

    I disagree with the build being different and the head thing doesn't really work either. Even my vagrans have different head shapes and neither of my sirtalis were similar.

    I think DNA sequencing is the only certain method of accurately determining some of these more difficult specimens.
