Ok, so I have said this several times but I have to say it again...... Does any one else think that the western KY animals bear a striking resemblence to P.ruthveni? They have that same "dirty" melanoluecus-sayi intergade look IMHO!!!!!
Maybe some kind of Pleistocene fracturing effect?
Has any one run any genetic comparison work on those animals yet? I know a guy at UNLV out in Las Vegas who is the grad student of Xavier R. (the guy that published the genetic work up on Pituophis a few years ago). If you want send me a shed and I will pass it on. Maybe run a comparison with a sayi, a more traditional melanoluecus, a ruthveni, and that locality and see what shakes out. Of course I will fully understand if you guys are already working on this and don't want to share the topic.
