I believe he has no issue with it because it's a blue tegu that has been outcrossed twice before creating the all americans. He got a healthy red/blue hybrid and bred it to an extreme giant. I think Bobby's biggest issue with the blues is the founding stock is from a rather small gene pool and there's little to no evidence of further importations. It's the same for the extremes but I think Bobby has a several more years of breeding them before he runs out of pairing options to keep from having to inbreed. You'll have to do a search to find what his plans are after that - I believe he said he was going to start breeding extremes with regular B&Ws at that point to keep the gene pool strong but don't quote me on that.
