Okay Frank,
I am not going to be sensitive about anything....I just want to say that the getula in my locale must be a new ssp. as well cause neonates from this area have both checkered and black bellies....

Like you said many times before....pattern should have nothing to do with what ssp. it is.......i think that is a crock!!!!.....LOL

With that being stated.....what the heck are the getula I have found in Aransas Co., TX and Nueces Co., TX?????
They sure look like intergrades between Holbrooki and Splendida to me.......I cannot be as bold as you and state that they are a whole different ssp........

Pattern and scale count is all we have to go by except DNA tests.......Maybe some day in the future we will have personal, inexpensive DNA testers.....

Again....I am not being sensitive at all.....I appreciate your input on many things, but I think most of it is just to make me/ some of us think....Nothing you say is absolute.......
