it's an escaped captive-bred specimen. I know a few herpers from Florida who've suffered a slew of escapes during hurricanes.
NOT trying to discount what the guy found. Just saying that if it IS an ultramel, and WAS found in Florida, it can't be ruled out that the snake went AWOL following a hurricane OR from the care of an irresponsible keeper.
Best of Luck proving it out. In all honesty, I'd LOVE for it to be a new gene entirely. Who wouldn't like another 'ingredient' to throw into the 'corn soup'?
