>> i think Joe Forks would agree with this, Thayeri are not consistant enough to be considers one kind of snake. Instead that area is a meeting place for mex mex from the south, Alterna types from the north and milksnakes from lower to mid elevation. More or less a melting pot.
>> Whenever this type of discussion occurs, there is but one answer, in the field, these animals need more work.
>> In captivity, there are gene lines from all over that area, mixed up and called one.
>> So here you base your understanding on what comes out of your eggs, but you really have no idea if your original gene pools were the same, or many say, local specific.
>> From what I know, what you have in captivity is not local specific and with thayeri, it may me far more important then with other less variable species. Dang I hope this makes sense. Cheers
Well along with Joe I agree with everything you stated Frank........
