"The snake cant help that it came from a intergrade zone. And choosing to breed it with "pure" animals simply makes it non locality."



No, it would STILL be an intergrade, only it would "look" more like the genuine subspecies with every generation of back-breeding it to a genuine Eastern.



How would it become 100% Eastern(L.g.g.) when it never was?? It's simple, it never would, it would simply just "look" more genuine than the previous generation did to be marketed as such. Nobody can make a genuine Eastern(say from the Pine Barrens of New Jersey) from something originating from nigra territory a thousand miles to the west.



Now I'm certainly not knocking the breeding project you have planned, I'm just stating about your post to Rainer regarding the mentioned intergrade animal, that's all.
