Good stuff you and Kerby added!. I was going to post a similar explanation, but you guys saved me the mental strain of doing so..LOL!



You guys were spot-on with how "not simple" certain genetics and phenotypes can be to accurately categorize and term.



Many traits with snakes can look VERY similar to one another by mere sight, and be caused by VERY different things altogether. And other things can lokk very different in certain snakes, and be caused by the very same thing. Then figure in some individual variation to the equation, and it can be impossible to discern.



One thing I have found over the years, and that is quite often the more one learns about certain things, the less he/she actually knows..LOL!
