Knowing that there are two varieties of Crotalus Molossus (Arizona Blacktail) Desert sub specie and mountain sub specie and the two being vastly different in appearance, does anyone know what the offspring would appear like if the two should cross?

Thanks for your time

Chances are you'll end up with some that look like one form, one that looks like the other, but the majority of them looking intermediate... This is usually the case for integrades.

but not knowing what is the looking in the wild of these 2 crossing in their distribution range as I'm sure they do with overlapping. It would be a topic of captive breeding to see what future generations of the 2 crossed and siblings line bred back would look like. I don't know about the farther west black tails like the pretty Arizona ones of gold color and some brite gold, but in west Texas you get green- some real green some drab to olive green and the grey.
