True,....similar to the situation with "Rosy Rats", formerly(E.g.rosacea) otherwise known as "Keys" corns, and MANY other snakes for that matter.

In any case, both of these are very note worthy of having distinctly different looks, whether they are recognized taxonomically or not. I've always been one of those to keep distinct types in as true a form as possible, regardless of their taxonomic status, and although certain scientists will disagree with some of these, most hobbyists always understand exactly what they are when they are referred to and appreciate the difference(s).
