Breeding related snakes?

scott bred a regular eastern of some morph to a florida blue eastern this year... don't remember what the male was though...

There's nothing wrong with what wayne suggested gertie, they are the same exact snakes, they just look different. It's like how you can have eastern garters from new york, and eastern garters from virginia. They may look different, but they are the same snake.

Just because Scott could do that, was it ethical? I don't think so.

And NY Easterns are not the same snake as VA Easterns. They're the same species/subspecies but they have evolved entirely differently based upon their locality.

If they were truly the same - same foods, same cover, same forage, et al, they would look the same.

They can't even intergrade.

they are the same species....just different colors....as humans are the same species, different locations and different colors.....just because they are different colors due to location doesn't make them different species....
