"It basically stated that some black present on the tongue does not necessarily mean intergrade"

I pretty much have to think that is indeed the case. For the "most-part", a greater prcentage of the tongue being red would indicate an Everglades, but I seriously doubt ALL Everglades have "only" red tongues, and zero black on them. Some very orange one's I have seen with "some" dark coloration on their tongues too. Quite possibly, Some might not have much red on them at all too I would guess anyway, but how would anyone know the exact percentage(if any) of the geneflow from either...it really can't be done unless someone dedicates many years to crossing the two from several localities to find all this out. We have all seen many genuine types of snakes that don't quite fit the typical norm out there.

Here are some progression shots of the male I had that descended from a wild-caught Hendry County female that was very red/orange. He does happen to have a red tongue as well, and turned into quite a nice specimen.
