John,
I know of someone that is doing a comparitive study but I have not heard what the results were as of yet. This population of pine snakes has a distinctive look to them but I am not convinced that there is any sayi influence myself. Morphologically they fall in line with the other populations of northern pines. There are color and pattern differences between groups of northerns throughout their range. Just as an AL northern is patterned differently than a Jersey pine, a Ky pine has its own distinctive coloration as well. I would like to see what the results were in a comparitive DNA analysis.
This is another example of a Ky northern from the cave region population in the southcentral part of the state.
Phil
