>>John, labelling a snake by filial marker is not just a locality stamp but a time stamp as well. You wouldnt call a St Marys county milk a charles county because its close....a F2 snake has offspring it has to be F3 regardless of its mate or its sex. And I've seen it written in a few responses that the determining factor is if they are related. THIS IS NOT TRUE!! The TRUE response is from a genetically controlled mating, they do NOT have to be related. Subsequent generations represent the time distance to a WC animal. And Zenny, Mr. Mendel is the name you were looking for.

It is not just a label of time & distance from a wild caught animal.......
It could also just be a stamp or label of a hybrid project generation......
I have yet to see you mention this Jeff......

I agree the original controlled pairing DOES NOT have to be related.......

Ah yes...Mendel as in simple Mendelian trait......
