Thomas,

It's kind of amusing watching you pretend to be

a highly educated expert on Lampropeltis!

It's kinda funny how people can twist their philosophies

around to justify their own agenda. That's one thing

that politicians, and religion have in common. LOL!!!!

If your gonna start this argument, you need to compare

apples to apples and oranges to oranges. For one thing,

all of the cambelli in the U.S. can be traced back to

a very few imported animals, that unfortunately, no longer

resemble their founding stock. The same has happened with thayeri. A locale specific "look", ssp. or not, desserves to be

kept true, if it is within our means. In your crazy corner

of the world, all that would exist, in captivity would be

L.g.nigra X L.g.getula X L.g.floridana or whatever that was

you produced this season. So are you saying that it would be okay to breed old world elaphe with new world elaphe? Come on kids! They're all just one big happy family in Thomas' pocket book! Enjoy those Carpondros Thomas!
