Posted by: Keith Hillson at Tue Jul 8 09:59:08 2003 [ Email Message ] [ Show All Posts by Keith Hillson ] Actually many snakes have many common names. Outer Banks King or whatever is fine but most specimens have been found on Hatteras just outside of Hatteras Village. The Florida Kingsnake thing has also been put to rest as Dr. Kenneth Krysko did genetic testing on Outer Banks Kings and found them genetically identical to mainland Eastern Kingsnakes. Sometimes when a snake gets isolated like the Outer Banks King is weird mutations can occur such as speckling between the crossbars. Its how evolution takes place with little mutations here and there. I believe eventually the Outer Banks King would have become genetically different enough to become its own sub-species with time. Now with man there its probably not going to happen. Regardless they are beautiful animals and if you see some animals down in Ocracoke please snap some pics and send them to me for the site | ||
