My issue is this: there are VERY FEW people in this country who can provide you with documentation that their line of snakes is "pure".

I think you don't undertand what pure means. Most everything we have in captivity is a hybrid. or a better term would be UNATURAL INTERGRADE.

Unless the snakes are collected on an isolated pop they would never meet in the wild. Road crsuising, different hillsides, mtns, outcrops all vary. In palces like Whitewater you have rosys on one side of the hill that are desert looking. On the other side a few hundred yars you have more coastal looking rosy boas.


Then look at Florida which does not even have the lifezones you get in calif and other states. Roadways, and all sorts of developemnt has seprated the kings where they look completly different from each other.

Second what would you call a natural intergrade found in the wild? Unpure?

Just some food for thought. Unless you are only interested in the greed money aspect of snake breeding there are no pure snakes unless they are locale specific and by that i mean where the snakes could actually meet in the wild. Not on 1000 ft sea level level and drive up the road where plants and habitat changes at 3000 ft sea level and find another king, ratsnake, pit ect.
