Don't worry about what's accepted. Some people are fine with hybrids, some aren't. You can't please everyone with what you buy or breed. Get what interests you and take good care of it, that's what's most important. I think ratsnake keepers might be more tolerant because greenish rats, and other natural intergrades are quite common. It's hard to say something is wrong when it happens naturally. Then again, it may just be because ratsnake keepers are generally a cut above the rest :P Anyway, unless you're getting a locality yellow with a solid colored tongue, there's a good chance it's part everglades anyway (at least to my knowledge) so it's entirely up to you how strict you want to be in choosing potential mates. That's my opinion on the subject anyway.
