Anthon,
Sorry, I guess I misunderstood. Hybrid is a term that is usually reserved for cross between two separate species while intergrade usually implies a cross between subspecies.
As for the identity of your snake, I don't have any idea more useful than what you could get out of any field guide. However, remember it is quite possible that your snake isn't N.f.fasciata, N.f.pictiventris, or N.f.confluens. These three subspecies intergrade over a large area, AFAIK, and so there will be a lot of snakes that can't be pigeonholed into one particular taxon.
Do you know where they are from? ----- Chris Harrison
