Glad to help.



A hybrid means its a cross between two species. It has nothing to do with the fertility of their offspring. Most of us are not fans of hybrids and that all it is, just opinions. I have a long list of reasons why I dont think its a good reason to do it, but I wont get into it here.



As far as differences go, The Mexicans have different scale counts, Their rostral scale is typically more pointed, they tend to stay smaller, their pattern is more bold and of higher contrast, and they usually have a bigger attitude. I'm sure there are other differences I forgot to mention, that someone else will add to this.



I will post some photos of some Plains and Mexicans tonight, so you can see them side be side.



-Jon
