Click to expand...

imagine you are on the keys. you collect 2 or 3 from a few hundred/thousand individuals. when you pair them, you see that you've accidently chosen 2 animals witch carry the same gene. what do you think, how much luck do you need to grab these carriers from a wild population which shouldn't carry anything? and these animals are not just carriers for bloodred. but also for "kastanie" or at least a VERY SIMILAR gene. so you chose 2 animals which carry 2 genes...from a wild population. this IS funny ;)
 
I thought they were compatible with mainland bloodred, and that might be funny, I missed that two keys corns were bred and then bloodreds came out. That's a coincidence indeed. At the other hand, in an isolated population one could expect a mutation to appear in a higher percentage after a couple of generations then in a population with the possibility to spread more.
 
Makes you wonder if the mainland bloodreds migrated up from the keys (they were, AFAIK, found along the east coast of Florida) or vice versa.
