It depends on how the state defines its species and subspecies. If a state lists Lampropeltis triangulum as protected (therefore illegal) they may have grounds to include a sinaloan milk even though it is not even found in the same country. I'm not saying its right, just pointing out how it COULD be construed. Granted a good lawyer probably would be able to get you out of that one, but not all subspecies are that different. States pass laws like that to make it easier on themselves. They don't have to know if it is a florida garter snake, all they have to know is that it is a T. sirtalis. Same goes for CBB snakes. If A guy has 7 baby fox snakes and a pair of adults, who can say for sure if he bred them or just caught the babies. Make no distinctions and you have no questions. If any of you are interested, check out Lee Watson's site and see if you can get a copy of the latest TARAH newsletter. There was an article on that very subject dealing with subspecies in Illinois.
