Not that I give a tinker's rip about whether the ultra gene originated solely in the gray rat line or not (because no one species "owns" a gene, it's a mutation not a species defining characteristic...amel has popped up spontaneously across the board independently, it does happen), but in case Joe isn't around to defend the gene, Lava is not the same as Ultramel and did originate from "pure" (other people's fantasy, I don't personally believe in the word in relation to a species...I'm too Darwinian) wild-caught Okeetee stock.

Just wanted to clarify as
Other than Golddusts and a few Ice, I haven't been impressed with the ultra effect on anything.
implies that Ice are ultras, which they aren't. They're lava anerys, no relation other than that both genes seem to cause a version of reduction in black pigmentation.

Back to the hibird/antihibird/don't believe in hibird discussion...
