radix sirtalis Q

[infernalis]

It doesn't really say whether or not it's possible, but rather that it is possible that it occurs (in nature).

In captivity, a lot of animals will mate with species that they wouldn't mate with in the wild.

Thank you once again Stefan, That exact issue has been on my mind all day.

As soon as the statement was made, I immediately wondered if we were talking in nature or captivity.

Snakes that occur on different sides of the continent will not hybridize in nature, but as soon as someone ships them across the nation and puts them in a cage together, the situation changes drastically.

pretty much all garter snake species are genetically close enough to hybridize....it does happen in the wild occasionally.
