""But I still am having problems with this intergrade thing. Are the rest of the snakes where this one came from like this??? Then why would you call them intergrades?""

The only other one I know of from this exact locale (within meters)is a nearly perfectly speckled adult. Now I don't know if these hatchlings will speckle out more as they mature, but I suspect they will. What I do know is this.....Pure Holbrooki are found to the north and east of this locale and Pure Splendida are found to the south and west of this locale. My assumption is that this area has gene flow from both species, thus the title intergrade.
