Whats sad, is some breeders actually suck people in for a little more $$$ claiming "Cameroon" greys, as if they are special in some way from other Congo's, of which, they are not.

The truth is, a Congo, is a Congo, is a Congo.....

As with all critters and humans, the area in which they live and the abundance of foods and types dictates slight differences in bone density, size and weight accordingly.

This is a good topic to have been started. Especially for new Congo owners or ones that are thinking of getting one. It will atleast alert them to the fact that some people try to classify Congos by region they MAY have come from in Africa. But, the reality is, they are a Congo and not a "Special" sub-species.

As BMustee stated though, most Greys coming from breeders are not from a specific region in Africa, the are from the local breeders cage and if they happen to have a set of large boned, light gray Congo's, their offspring will have the same genetics as their Mom and Dad, just like us humans do. :-) Got big parents? your gonna be big. Got small parents? your gonna be small....etc.<br><br>Post edited by: danmcq, at: 2008/10/04 14:38
