Rainer, I'm in opposition with your thought of "all the time", at this time!



As i have said before i worked with hybrid crosses for many years. i doid lots of experiments and have seen first hand how backcrossing resembles one or the other spp after just a couple time. irregardless of what others say here it is not recogzable. I don't know if folks can grasp this,, but why would somebody DNA test a group of hybrids? I mean, that's what they are. It will come back as pure as from the original test groups registered as pure.



While others here have not taken notice of hybridization in the wild , I HAVE. It is just the topic of the week. But if people payed more attention they would see this does happen all the time. Paying attntion to this topic in other forums and from field collecting sites it is quite obvious. What happens to these wild hybrid morphs?? ..they absord into one or the other. But to play along with the purist mentality , if a snake was originally a hybrid then it will still be one to the 1000,0000,0000 degree. No matter how washed out it gets.No matter how outbred it is over the next 200 years.... WOW! Contradiction all over the place.



Another thing. It is proven that recessive traits are allelic with species that would never cross paths in the wild because of their geographic range. That means these snakes all came fom the same thing at one time. They are related to the point of carring heterozygous genes from one end of the nation to the other.



It does not take that long for the snake to change appearance in the wild. To cange its location or adapt to other stresses that the natural environment give it. Just like sand beach breaks, rivers, habitat and climate changes and other things that changed afater 50 years of what i witnessed in my life of field ollecting, surfing, hiking etc. i have mentally noted many physcial appearances in snakes from areas i have collected since i was a kid. The snakes are in constant change.
