I'd be interested in checking out this book. Do you know the title?
"Not to add to the confusion, but in Mark O'Shea's new book, he separates out Colombians and Guyanans from the other Epicrates cenchria, and actually classified Colombians as a separate species of Epicrates, claiming that they don't interbreed with Brazilians."
When you say separates, do you mean that he addresses them with distinct species names? classifying Columbians as a separate species seems to be in line with this discussion. I'm certainly no expert, but I'd like to know what he's basing his claim that no interbreeding takes place on.
"If I remember correctly, he put Guyanans in the same class (ie, didn't really name it as a species or subspecies) as Colombians."
I just noticed this. This is a little confusing to me (and it sounds like it still is to Mark as well).
I agree, good discussion. I've always wanted to talk with people who are close to these animas in the wild.
