    Tarahumara is a locality within the Sonoran Desert. For years, some people have incorrectly interchangeably claimed sonorans were tarahumaras and sold them as such, or bred them to tarahumaras. Hell, I caught a guy selling "tarahumara" babies from a female sonoran with a claimed tarahumara male.... I sold him the female.

    Unless someone is buying directly from Vin or Gus, or who can show the applicable paperwork that confirms the locality, I would steer clear.

    Very good info. Thanks for your input. Getting more and more into the locality species, and always learning more about them!
