"Tony, you're smarter than me about these things"
Doubtfull, But this is where I'm at. Locality can be pure beyond that there is just classic phenotype but too often that is not well defined. To illustrate is a "classic" king represented by Howies wide banded Pungo Ridge line or the thin banded ones from Hillson's NJ line?
In the case at hand, the original animal was not classic it was an albino, we also know it was at least from the extreme end of the range if not from well into the range of nigra so it would not have been highly representative of all eastern even if it weren't an albino! To me this is a case of it is what it is and its just an albino kingssnake. Given the approximate local of the originating animal it could be outcrossed to nigra, which is at most ----- “Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own mind.” Emmerson
