I'm not sure I have enough individuals for an actual scientific study that people would accept... For example, I have 3 Egyptian sand boas which are 50% related, and 5 Tanzanian sand boas, which are only from 2 bloodlines. And I'm not even 0 sure of their absolute purity, since some of them are F3 and F3 CB's. So it was kind of just for my own curiosity. On the other hand I DO live 20 minutes from OSU. Hmph, now you have me thinking about getting ahold of a rubber boa and comparing it to my Calabar 'boa'.

I thought that scientists don't do this sort of stuff all the time, I assumed it would be an integral part of taxonomic studies. But I never read about any of it, so maybe they don't do it.

Brian: Are you sure it was a book? Are you sure it wasn't NOTHING?
