I have to agree with Rick (Cazador), I don't think it's best to be crossing "known" species in captivity. As caretakers of these animals, I think it's best to keep things as natural as possible. I mean you could cross a Cali.Redsided (T.s.infernalis) with an Eastern (T.s.sirtalis), I mean they're just both subspecies, but WHY????? Isn't it best to just enjoy them as nature created them? I fear the day when snakes become like other domesticated animals and become poorly adapted animals that we've just created for our own amusement. I know that species are just a way for us humans to put stuff in nice little groups that we can catagorize and that often what's a species today may become just a subspecies or regional variant in the future. Also many species are created just from geological isolation and may acutally have a common ancestor and can be crossed successfully, but is it right to do so? Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. Well that's my two cents on it....spend it well.
