I wasn't thinking on the lines of genetic traits rather I was think more on the lines of the possibility of being able to determine if these two animals shared some commmon parent at some point. Kind of like they did with the testing on Anna Nicloe Smith's baby to see who the dad was. I would think they could look at the DNA strands to see if they were somehow related back to one common parent. I know they are all realted at some point on an evolutionary stance, but then again so are we and I believe they can make determinations about grandparents 4 to 5 generations back for us so why couldn't the same thing be done for reptiles?

Maybe I was just fishing...
