Will all come out in the wash man! That variability stuff is likely a blessing for us all , sure it makes us pull out our hair wondering where you draw that line visually or if you have simply just looked at it to long to the point you pull some friend aside that doesn't know jack about snakes to get your mind back to the basics of plain obvious , the classic variability issue will drive you nuts if you let it I agree ! The word "vague" covers alot of genetic ground doesn't it! But if this was easy everyone (interested in knowing that is) would have figured all this out by now and then we wouldn't have much to talk about on here other than how hot it gets in florida or how crappy it is in Iowa about late January with -15F and 15 inches of snow that's clearly in my way , LOL....



As for yours looking like Yb's, are you saying the markers are pretty much the same (belly lines, belly color, flames, head and labial marks, background coloration etc etc) if so I guess I didn't know that but also have not seen one in person either. You need to bring one by sometime at a show for me to ponder over a little, might even have a thought or 2 you could run with and see what else you get 4 results, that is if I notice something that seems odd enough to me... Worth checking out for fun I think! Same goes for you Charles you need to introduce this stuff to me in person , might talk me into another project once I start feeling left out of the fun, it's happened before that way you know. I doubt the funs over yet either unless the politicians really do think they know more than some of us about Reptiles and their natural limits! Makes me wonder where some of these people went to college without failing Biology 101 or if they even had that class at all, EVER!
