I completely agree with you with respect to intergrades. I believe that it is a complete waste and loss of genetic identity to intergrade subspecies of any animal species. It can also totally destroy a breeding program if these intergrades become mixed in with the subspecies that is the focus of the project.

Also, I have a question for you about Sri Lanka pythons on their native island. I have heard that there are two forms of Sri Lanka molurus. One being a highland form and the other a lowland form, and each with a slightly different color and pattern. Did you ever hear anything about this when you were over there? Thanks again,

Kelly
