Which local is this BTS?

Postby SgtSkullSmasher » Mon Nov 25, 2013 10:34 pm

This guy is for sale on Kijiji for $150 and was wondering if anyone could guess his Local?

I want to get a male for my Northern Girl and I heard that crossing with 2 different locales is frowned apon... unless I read that wrong on the caresheet.

It is an in-shed classic Indonesian.. separate from the Halmahera Indo.

And yes, it is frowned upon to hybridize.. you read that correct.

I'm surprised no one has chimed in saying it was an IJ or something. :hehe:

Okay, but they are different locales. He asked for a locale.. not the scientific name.
