I have mtDNA evidence that three different lineages of rattlesnakes live in less than a five mile radius. These animals do not migrate like birds, and likely don't move very far at all over long periods (thousands of years) of time.

So unless they were both hatched from a wild-caught gravid female and that line was maintained, locality is hogwash.
