My apologies for the harsh "judgment" of the man who found the snake. I guess I don't take kindly to people who would rather see an animal die than get less than what he thinks it's worth.

Regardless, it's truly a shame he still isn't cooperating, but it's at least good to know that other snakes like it do, or, at least, have existed, as it holds hope for this gene's likelihood to be passed on and cultivated.

Thanks for the update, even if there wasn't much to share on the matter.
