I hope I understand how to answer the question. Back then--maybe '06?--people still talked about different pyro ssp. They're mostly lumped together now, right? Regardless, it was not a pyro ssp X different pyro ssp cross, it was a pyro X some other lampropeltis, ruthveni I think but wouldn't swear to it. Wouldn't any and all of those possible crosses make it a hybrid? (whether x zonata or ruthveni or triangulum or...?) I went back through 3 yrs of photo files but unfortunately didn't keep a pic of the snake or container in question.
So if my understanding's correct, yeah, i'll stick with my original "hybrid" assertion. Tell me if i'm wrong.
