Several years ago I proposed some definitions for the term "generic".
1. Any snake that is pure species or subspecies but of mixed locality.
2. Any snake of unknown or incompletely known history that looks like a pure example of a species or subspecies, has no known history of hybridization or crossing, shows no outward evidence of hybridization, yet always carries the possibility of there having been a cross somewhere in the backround.
In fact, I did not invent these definitions, this is the way that I have been familiar with the word being used on price lists and magazine classified advertizements before the internet and it's readily available nit picking arguements came along. There is no need to pick apart somebodies animals if they are only claiming them to be generics.
