>>Steve, as far as I know it's still listed as Gongylophis colubrinus loveridgei. There are some slight differences and I suspect that one day it will be listed as a subspecies. There are many unanswered questiond with the Rufescens that over time ( I hope ) will be answered. I think they are great and there genetics have opened the door to alot of new and cool projects.

Hi Jeff! Thanks for the reply. Pretty interesting stuff. There's not much available reading material on the origins of different morphs, so this is a tough subject to research. I have seen some vague references that seemed to suggest that some Kenyans are not from "pure" loveridgei lines. I don't know what that was all about.

Steve
