Hello I orginaly posted this right under Craig's reply about subspeices.





What is concidered a subspeices?



For example would a black gerbil be a different subspieces from a brown gerbil?



I'm asking because I found a florida eastern for sale that is an eastern garter snake from florida ... to be a mate to my florida eastern... florida blue.



But he's not a florida blue, which I didn't relize at first... I asked the person selling if he was and seince he was from florida the seller said yes, but the snake is black with yellow stripeing... no blue. They are both eastern... they are both from florida... they are both the same speices but he is normal colored and she is the "florida blue" color.



To me that's the same as two different colored gerbils (when I was breeding gerbils) and would not be hybrid. (or what the other term was.. integrated?) So I came here to basicalty ask the same question the orginal poster asked, but saw that it had been asked (what is a hybrid) so posted under hear instead.

ok I modified this a bit... I guess I had to make it a seperate post after all... I feel it was never noticed.



Thank you for your time
